SSIC Banners

I wish I could tell you that I had made this card for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge weeks ago but the truth is that I thought I had and suddenly realised yesterday I had NOTHING done - arggggggh! 

So I checked out this weeks challenge, hosted by our fearless leader Kris, who has chosen:

"Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10 

Use FLAGS or BANNERS in your creation

(ie. create your own flags or banners… or in your paper, image)

I quickly grabbed things that were lying around in piles on my desk (as you do!) and created flags by folding thin strips of paper in half and dove tailing the ends of them.  Each flag is attached using double sided tape and embellished using buttons and mulberry flowers, finishing off with a row of pearls.

A strip of Spellbinders Classic Edges One Edgeabilities® and Classic Decorative Insert Three Edgeabilities®  have been added along the lower edge of the card and some gorgeous vintage lace added, a butterfly and pearls (of course!).  These Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine.

It all came together very quickly - PHEW! LOL!

This card is for the following challenges:

Patterned Wings

I have been busy creating a lot of projects - cards for Card Design Classes, tutorials for Design Teams, submissions for magazines and I have suddenly realised that it has been days since I posted - where is my head?! LOL!

I am happy to share a card created using images illustrated by NinaB Designs for Penny Black - love this Puzzle Parts set that co-ordinates with the Spellbinders Edgeabilities.  I have used the Classic Edges One Edgeabilities and layered it inside a negative of the Spellbinders Labels Eleven.  All of the Dies have been cut using the Grand Calibur, my Die Cutting machine of choice!

The butterfly is from the Free Flight set, also designed by NinaB Designs - this has been stamped with Tsukineko Versafine - Vintage Sepia ink, but out and popped onto the centre panel - the wings have been popped up using foam dots.

The bling is from Want2Scrap - my favourite bling!!
