Crafters Companion "Flights of Fantasy" Card

Good Morning Crafters, Ive been playing with images from the new "Flights of Fancy" CD from Crafters Companion and thought you might like to see the result. I printed this beautiful image onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it.
Afterwards I used a Nestabilitie Labels Die to cut it out and a fancy one for the mount. I also used the same die set for the sentiment.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount out of mauve card, the papers are also from the same CD and I have used three of the designs, the first one is a mauve all over one and the second is a butterfly one and the third which I took into the colour changer on the cd and make it into a pink colour, I have used a Martha Steward Butterfly border punch on these and layered them up as shown. Then down the middle I have used a hemp ribbon with a lace border and a pink satin ribbon on top.
To finish of I have used 6 mauve pearls and put three at the top on the right and the other three on the bottom on the left.

Im so sorry that its been so long now since I posted a card but its been rather hectic in my house over the last week and a half and tomorrow guess what we are having faster broadband installed so I do hope it doesnt mean we will be without broadband for to long.
Anyway here is a card I made just before my grandsons came to stay, its for the Facebook Sundays with Santa "Shades of White" Challenge, its created with Sue Wilsons beautiful dies and one of the Embossalicious Embossing Folders.
I have used a piece of white pearlescent card and ran it though my ebosser and a snowflake embossing folder, then on top I have wrapped a piece of white ribbon and attached it to the back of the this mount.
On top I have cut out one of the large rectangle die shapes from Sue Wilson and another smaller one on which I have stamped a sentiment from my stash. I then used yet another piece of white pearlescent card and diecut a large snowflake out and used a smaller on and embossed the center with it, and die cut a even smaller snowflake which has been mounted in the center.

Clean and Simple Card using Aurora Wings Image

Good Morning Crafters, well I won this gorgeous image from Aurora Wings last week when my Lily Card was Showcased on their Challenge Blog, and I thought I would keep it Clean and Simple for their Facebook page.
I printed this "Bride and Groom" image onto white card and you will find it here, and then coloured it with my copic pens, now someone asked how I got the breast part coloured, and in fact I have a confession, I started to colour the top above her bust when I realised it was a net and of course I had already put my base E000 colour on it,
I left it alone and carried on colouring the face and then the hair. The floral spray on her dress was done after I had finished using the C colours to create shadow in the folds of her white dress, and his suit. The colours were pink and yellow and I picked the pink from the bow to dot on her front and the same with the yellow and green just to give the effect of flowers and greenery, and Im very pleased with the result I also used it on the tiara on her hair.
I then used the Nestabilitie Basic dies to cut them out and the Fancy Scallop one for the mount.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of pink pearlescent card, I used it also for the mount and the sentiment which also comes in the same die set as the mount one.
The first mount is a piece of white pearlescent card and one of the new Embossalicious Rose Swirl embossing folder from Crafters Companion. I love this way of embossing it really gives a dramatic effect.
Across the middle I have wrapped a pink satin ribbon which was stuck to the back of the first mount and my mounted image was then placed just of center and the sentiment across the bottom right hand corner.

A card for the Aurora Wings "Butterflies" Challenge

Ive been itching to get down to colouring another Aurora Wings image and for the 3rd Challenge its all about Butterflies, so I thought this Asian image was just right for it, she is called "Chrysanthemum" and you will find her here, isnt she gorgeous and I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her.
I then cut her out with my Nestabilitie Die and used a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment is one that I found on the web and printed it onto white card and mounted this onto a spare piece of mauve card.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card and the first mount is mauve card and the paper I have used is from Crafters Companion "Oriental" Cd its a daisy type pattern then I used some of the same mauve card and with a large flower embossing folder I ran it through my ebosser. Then around the middle I have wrapped a piece of pink ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount.
I have also used a doily and placed this in the top right hand corner, and before placing my mounted image I have used a Tattered Lace Chrysanthemum Die and cut this out and placed in the bottom left hand corner, I also placed my sentiment in the opposite corner.
To finish of I have also used another of the Tattered Lace dies and this is a Oriental Butterfly and placed in the top right hand corner over looking the mounted image.

A Card for Crafters Companion Challenge - "Romance"

Good Afternoon Ladies, Ive already posted on my other blog Nannieflash, but thought I ought to post this card as well on this my second blog, I was lucky enough to win a top three position with my last Crafters Companion Card and was absolutely thrilled at that. Anyway this months challenge is "Romance" and Ive used this lovely Popcorn image with his lady wife and soufle the duck, Ive stamped it onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens, I then cut it out with my rotatrim and mounted it onto a piece of pink card. The sentiment is another from the same set of stamps and mounted it in the same way as the image.

The card is a 7"x 7" white card and Ive used a pink card with one of three papers that Ive used from Crafters Companion Popcorn Romance Cd, the first paper a bouquet paper on which Ive used a heart corner punch on each of the corners, on top of this I have placed a strip of yellow pattern paper with soufle on, this paper and the top one a heart pattern on pink base the heart border punch that compliments the corner one.

Around the middle Ive wrapped a piece of lace and a dark red satin ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount, I then positioned my mounted image in the middle and the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side. I then created a spray of roses, cherry blossom and punched out fern leaves which were stuck to the card with silicone glue in the top left hand corner.
