Mermaid

Thought I would show you my easel card using one of my favourite images, I love fantasy type images, fairies, unicorns, mermaids etc., and couldn't resist using this image again.

I think I may have gone a little over the top with the embellies and bling, but I'm still pretty pleased with the way it turned out.

I used lots of dies to make swirls, flowers, seashells, a punched border, glitter, gems and pearls and did something a bit fancy with my ribbon, then decided I should stop there LOL!

Quickie Christmas Cards

Here are a couple of cards I made for a Christmas in July Challenge, they are my first of the year and I decided I would make them quick and easy.

The image, wording and snowflake border were printed straight onto linen card from Paper Mill Direct, then made into a landscape A5 card. I added beautiful Crystal Cabochons to the centre of the snowflakes on the first one, and metallic silver ribbon and jingle bells to the second.

Swirls and Pearls.........

without the swirls and only by chance having pearls LOL!

This card was made for a Swirls and Pearls mid challenge reminder over on the D'Arcy's Diaries challenge blog, but for some reason I completely forgot it was for the challenge and just did my own thing. It was only when I was adding it to the challenge post that I realised what I had done. It very nearly didn't even have pearls on it either as I was going to use gems but changed my mind at the last minute.

One of the background papers has dotty swirls all over it so they will have to count as my swirls LOL!

Ribbon and Pearls - Meiflower

Now in real life that ribbon is a gorgeous peachy pink colour, but for some reason,whenever I use it and photograph it, it seems to look more orangey, it actually perfectly matches the colour of her dress, honest!
