For You - Because

Hello friends - thanks so much for stopping by.  I seem to be a run of  shabby cards of late, but who can blame me - I love all of the elements that go into Shabby Chic - especially the gorgeous pink Rose I have on this card.

I have pre-cut a pink card base and adhered a lightly smaller card front using Authentique Paper, along with another piece of patterned paper that has been joined together using paper piercing - and double sided tape - of course!! This has been popped up onto the card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares. 

Pink Seam Binding has been adhered, slightly ruffled onto double sided tape, across the card front. I have used the Shapeabilities Amazing Paper Grace Flourish Frame Pocket Etched Dies.  I have cut/embossed the Top Insert and Frame using pink card stock and the  Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" Platform and adhered it to the right side of the card front, trimming off the tab.

A large fabric Rose has been glued to the centre of the card front and a stamped tag added, tucking in just under the right side of the flower, with a handmade butterfly embellishment added.

The Pocket Frame and Insert have been cut/embossed using Authentique Paper and adhered inside the card base, to form a pocket for a gift card, or cash....or a lovely note.

Sweet Charlotte

Hello friends, I am still not back on all cylinders with this nasty flu but have antibiotics in the equation now, so I am hoping they make a difference very quickly. In the meantime I have snuck in to share a quick card with you using this adorable image by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Charlotte.

The image has been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink ink Tuxedo Black onto white card stock and coloured using Chameleon Pens.  

The coloured image has been fussy cut/hand cut using scissors and popped up onto the cut/embossed Nestabilities Celebrations Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies #5 #6 (#1 being the smallest).  This has been layered into a pre-cut flocked card front using using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.  The card base has been cut using the A-2 Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.

Finishing off with a double bow,  threaded buttons and Want2Scrap 250 Count Orange Rhinestones.
