Fairy cupcake

Recently I bought some pre-coloured MoManning images from The Hobby House. As my friend loves all things girly and glittery I had to add glitter to the wings and added some darker pink lines with glitter glue. All the various leaves have been made using a Martha Stewart puncher. The papers are primarily from First Edition Paper, the smallest of their pads. I have used flowers all from Wild Orchid Crafts and the bow is also purchased from them.

As it is a new year, it is time to show off something new I tried. It was great fun and turned into one of my favourite cards thus far.

This card was made using very simple striped pink paper layered over a bright green plain card. I had ribbon matching the green card and tied a little bow for it. Then I made a floral border using a Martha Stewart puncher on deep pink card. The image itself was tricky. It is made with lots of layers of decoupage images glued together with gel glue. This is the first time I’ve used both decoupage images and the gel glue and it was getting tricky to align them properly when I got to the small bits at the top. The sentiment is a stamp from Lili of the Valley put on a pink scalloped circle. I made green branches with another Martha Stewart puncher and added several flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The different pearls are all from Wild Orchid Crafts as well.

How exciting! I was picked as a guest designer for Whimsy Stamps challenges! The challenge is up now and the theme is lots of layers. I am so glad blog posts can be scheduled, as when this appears I’m on holiday strolling on the beach by the Mediterranean Sea. Ah, bliss!

A beautiful summer day today. Work, followed by exercise on the mountain bike and then a spot of card making in the evening. Sadly this was my only day of doing that this summer as I only have late shifts until my holiday in August. Anyway, let’s have a summer card post. It will be short as I am tired enough I might even be sleep typing this!
