Betty

Hello again. Thanks for visiting.

I have another card using the differing shades of pink I used on my card on Tuesday.  This time I took a stamp from Acid Drops and What Nots to produce my image.  I like how amusing their stamps are.

I coloured Betty in shades of pink and used grey for her hat.  (I don't know why but it said grey felt to me lol)  This was then mounted on more of the Tina Higgins papers.

I started with an 8 x 8 card blank and added a piece of floral paper, then some pink Centura Pearl and used a Tonic punch on the bottom edge.  The waste was used to edge the bottom of the card.

 I wrapped the cardstock with dusky pink ribbon and set it slightly off centre on the card blank.  

 The sentiment is part of the same stamp set.  I stamped it on plain card stock coloured the edge and cut it out free hand.  It was then raised on some foam pads.

I made up the corsage using various paper die cut flowers and some different styles of ready made flowers.  The whole piece is wired together underneath then attached with silicone adhesive.

So what do you think?  Does Betty pass muster?  I really like this and hope you do too.

Tuesday 14th January

Hello again.  Thank you for stopping by today.

I was quite productive over the weekend and sketched out several cards I want to make.  This is the first one.  I took an A4 sheet of pink centura pearl card to create an A5 card blank.  This was topped with a piece of hammered cream card.

I used the Papermania Red Hot Paper Pack by Tina Higgins for all the papers as I really like the dark pink shades.  The banner layer has a script through the floral.

I stamped a dress image on to three different papers.   Once they were cut out I layered them over each other on to some pink centura pearl and cut a skinny matt around them.

 I had some cardstock flowers in similar tones and thought these would work as embellishments along with some pink silky crush ribbon and two hat pins.

 The sentiment is a wooden stamp we've had for ages but I love how it fits with several types of card.  I matted it onto more of the centura pearl.

 So what do you think?  Will it pass??
