Friday Freebie - 067

Hi Everybody,

Todays Friday Freebie is in a lovely shade of peach and it has self adhesive pearls from  Want2Scrap  on all the cross sections of the top panel.

The bottom detailed part is cut from the peach card and the bit that is left over has created the top panel.

Can you see where it would fit?

I have used the Petite Monarch  which is such a pretty die from Spellbinders

Both panels have been embossed using a different pattern and the peach one is raised with foam tape

The sentiment is from my "Stash"  and the pretty flowers is from Samaflora and is created from a pearly card.

Now if this is a card that you would like to win then join the group of followers and leave me a comment.

From those comments a name will be drawn in the morning and the winner announced in the blog post.

Please do not add your name if you are going to be unable to check the  Saturday Blog post as you only have 48 hours in which to claim the card. 

More tomorrow ...

Same Image ... four looks

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to show you the different looks that can be achieved with different color combinations for hair and clothes but using just one image to illustrate the point.

The image is called  Baby Bow and it is from Mos Digital Pencil.

I have used a mixture of   Spectrum Noir  pens and pencils to achieve the look.

The full  selection  of pens and pencils  can be bought from  JGD Crafts

The cards have  all been made  to the same  Hinged Style  and they  all have been  matted and  layered with color  coordinating card and papers to compliment  the image.

Each one has had the Tutus, headbands  and ballet shoes  of the baby glittered  and I have added matching ribbon to each one also.

Each of the cards has the addition of a matching pearlised Rose and they are from Samaflora 

All of Sams' flowers are hand made and she creates new ones regularly.

They are in beuatiful colors so please pop over there and take a look ... and tell her I sent you.

I hope the addition of the watermark does not spoil your view of the card but it is becoming increasingly  important for a watermark to be added to any cards that you color in.

It is apparent that the colored images are being stolen and then re used as someone elses work on cards that they claim as their own and so the watermark helps to stop this theft  ... and  protects not  only  my/your  work  but the artists work as well.

The colors I have used for the pink image have been pens only and they are ...

Samaflora Flowers ...

Hi Everybody,

These beautiful Roses came in the post yesterday and they are all handmade and gorgeous.

The colors are soft and pretty and they will really make any of your cards look special.

I bought these from Samaflora and you can take a look at what Samantha has to offer or make an order ... Samaflora 

Don't forget to tell here who sent you  and click the "Like" button while you are there.  You won't be disappointed ... and that's a promise
So I made a card and I have added just one single flower to the ribbon and it really is a statement piece.

The card is created with white linen card from Papermill Direct and all I have done is create panels with he matting basics.

Then placed the Petite Monarch die at the bottom of the top panel and layered the cut piece at the bottom and embossed what is the waste piece for the top.

I have used the Tied Together folder and added pearls to the cross section and wrapped matching ribbon  around the layers.

These have then been added to another embossed layer with foam tape o raise them up.

It was a pretty card but with the addition of the flower it became special. 

  Thank you Samantha the flowers are lovely 

More tomorrow ...
