FUSSY & FANCY FRIDAY CHALLENGE - SPRINGTIME FLOWERS

Hi everyone,

I am delighted to be back with a Design Team card to share which I made for the Challenge at  Fussy and Fancy   Actually it is not my turn to post but this was such a lovely theme that I just could not stop myself from playing along. 


Vanessa is hosting this Challenge, the  theme is entitled  'Springtime Flowers' and we are sponsored by  Sweet Lilac Flowers/Marianne Designs


 I loved every minute of making this card.  The base card blank was from The Stamp Basket.
I have used an assortment of dies from Marianne Creatables and Cheery Lynn.  I just love my dies!

As always, thanks for looking, and have a great day!

ELISABETH BELL HOBBY HOUSE TOPPER

Hi all


Today I have a card to share which I made using this gorgeous image created by Elisabeth Bell in the form of a Hobby House Topper.  I love these toppers, they really do cut out some time by not having to colour the image.  This lovely image makes me think of Easter,  Could she be carrying her Easter basket?  I think so!

For the shape I started off with a Go Kreate die and you will see I have used a mixture of Cheery Lynn dies too.  The papers are from LOTV and the lovely embellishments are from Live and Love Crafts. Everything else, including the lace came from either my stash or it weas purchased locally.  Although the photograph has not picked it up the flower have a slight sparkle, using Stickles glitter glue.

I tried something a bit different here and made two lace bows.  I quite like the effect too.

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges: 

Cheery Lynn Challenge - Anything Goes

Bunny Zoe Crafts Challenge - Spring Colours. 

As always, thanks for looking,

ELISABETH BELL - Embossed card

Morning all,


Here we have a card I made using this gorgeous stamped image which has been coloured by a friend of mine.  The image is called 'Fairy Play' and was created by Elisabeth Bell.  Isn't it gorgeous!

I had fun playing with my Tim Holtz Die and also my embossing folders here creating a shaped card.

Thanks for looking today,

HOBBY HOUSE TOPPER - Elisabeth Bell

Morning all,

 

This has to be one of my favourite images created by Elisabeth Bell.  I have the rubber stamp (amonst many others which are all firm favourites).   I was so pleased to see this come out in Hobby House Topper form.

When I started making this card I had not a clue what I was going to do so I just let creativity run away with me and see what happened.  This is the result.  I must admit I am really pleased with it, and I am sure I will be making more cards this style.  Where the shape came from I do not know, it just sort of happened.

Have a lovely day,

ELISABETH BELL - Criss Cross

Morning all,

Here I have another criss cross card, but one I made quite some time ago.

As I said yesterday, when I say criss cross card, I do mine slightly different.  It is a cheat method really, the traditional method uses two card blanks, whereas mine are really just a criss cross front to the card and less pricey to make.  

The image has been coloured and hand doodled by a very good friend of mine.  I am almost certain it is an image created by Elisabeth Bell and I have a feeling it was created for Sugar Nellie originally but may be wrong there.  The papers were from my stash and the embellishments purchased locally.

I had clean forgotten I had made this card!

Thank you so much for looking.  

Have a lovely day,

 This is very much a card made from my stash.
