AMD Samples - Birdcage Card

Another 8" x 8" card this time using the pink Garden Bloom paper pad.


I layered one sheet of patterned card onto the base card after the normal distressing and inking of the edges.  I then took the birdcage paper and made a tear on the left and gently rolled the paper apart.  More distressing and inking and then layered onto the card.  I fussy cut the birdcage from another sheet and gently curved it to give it dimension and added it on top of the existing image with glue gel.  Decorated the birdcage with some trailing ivy die cuts from green vellum and a couple of small flowers and a small section of pearl string at the top.

I stamped the sentiment onto one of the tags adding a couple of pearls at either end and again gently curved the tag to give it dimension and fixed it to the card with 3D glue gel.  I then added pink wheat, stamens, leaves, die cut flowers, paper flowers and a micro beaded berry to the bottom of the 'tear' in the card.  Glue gel was then added to the flowers and around the card and Crushed Ice sprinkled on top.



Finally, one of the beautiful inserts was added to the inside of the card.

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...
