A4 ultimate decoupage
one of my favorite pieces from this loop.
The edges are done using the
new dye based ink pads pk of 20 £12.99
direct to the paper.
They are really juicy so give a
sharper finish than chalk inks.

Midnight fairytale topper a bit of
left over Christmas ribbon and a scored
piece of card
This is simple but effective.

I finished this one off with some
purple gems using the score lines
as a guide.

Can we do an easel in the middle of the card?
Well I think the answer to that is yes.
Pampered pets papers
from the free pack on the front of the magazine
a piece of striped from the ultimate A4 decoupage
as I had miss laid my pampered paper 6x6
finished of with a piece of V&A ribbon.
The get well message
was from one of the element packs in the goody bag

50p for a sheet of toppers or BOGOF in most stores
A6 midnight fairytale paper
and some lemon sorbet ribbon from last loops goody bag
The dew drop gems were in a goody bag last year
but can be bought in store.

Vellum is lovely this would have worked
so much better if I had taken my border system.

%th March


What another lovely day on IOW it was great to see you all.
As many of you know I only arrived back from my holiday the day before the demo so I would like to thank my daughter for making me a couple of sample cards.
Stacey loves to scrapbook but I am hoping to convert her to cards.

The next couple of cards are some of my favorite.
I did the decoration on what would be the inside of the card and then put my message on what would be the outside hope this makes sense.
I used the stamp from the retro postage range to decorate the envelope.

A new take on the easel card and a great way of using the tall cat.
The little flowers are still in stores at BOGOF £1.99.
I would snap then up as they give a lovely finish to your cards.

Vellum is one of those products that a lot of people find difficult to use this is in part down to the fact that it's transparent.
I try to put my glue or tape behind the element on the card this this to the vellum and then put tape in this area again and stick the vellum to the card.
On the card above I put tape behind the ribbon area the ribbon then covers the tape.
