Emilio Lickorish Birthday Card 2011

This is the card I made for my Grandson's Birthday.

I used the Serif Craft artist for the background and figures.

The clowns and elephant were printed separately cut out and coloured in using pro markers. Then attached using foam pads to raise them a little.

I hope you liked the card Emilio.

Wedding Cards and Shoes

The shoes were made using the free template download from Chocolate Baroque. I used papers printed from a Artylicious CD. Then stamped and embossed with silver pearl embossing powder the flowers were made using spellbinders dyes (Blossom Two).

The cards were made using Glenda's (Chocolate Baroque) new stamps,nature swirls and butterfly flourish swirl they were also stamped and embossed in silver pearl powder. Paper flowers made as above, silk flowers from my stash. The box was printed with the same paper as the shoe, stamped and embossed with paper flowers as before.

Mothers Day Cards

These are the two card's that I made for Mothering Sunday, using the Papermania Build a Rose stamp.

Demitra Lickorish Birthday Card 2011

This is the card that I made for my Grandaughter for her Birthday this year.

I have made cards for her for many years, they have been posted but I am unsure if she has seen them or not. So this year I have also posted her card on my blog. So one day she may find it.

Chocolate Baroque

I made this card from the Chocolate Baroque paper I downloaded.

To make this card I printed straight onto a smooth white card with my free download from Glenda. I then stamped my poppies from the Elusive Image range onto white card twice. The poppies and background were then painted with h2o's.

I then cut out the front petals, leaves and large seed head and glued with pinflair to give a raised effect, curving the petals and seed head as I did so.

I used Spellbindes labels one for the matting and layering.

The flowers were cut from the Spellbinders Dahlia, each flower is cut from two layers of pink tissue paper, the flower centre was from the smallest die cut from black card.

The centre of the flowers and the main poppies were then embossed with dots of Disco black. To finish off I used one of the spellbinders Flourish accents in gold mirror board at the base of the flowers.

Essence of Nature

Love the cd I know I will have lots of fun using it for years to come.

White with dangly bits

When I saw the description for this months competition was White I immediately thought of parchment craft, and as the friend I wanted to make this card for loves Butterfly's I used some of your butterfly's from different sets.

I stamped the 2 parchment butterfly's out in black, traced them with a white pencil onto parchment paper, embossed them from the back with a shader and small ball tool then cut them out.

I did the same thing again with the smaller butterfly's front wing leaving a small tab. I cut a slit into the body of the butterfly slid the tab through and glued to the back, then decorated the butterfly's with sequins and glass beads.

The dangly bits are made up by threading with small glass and pearl beads.

The small butterfly and flowers were stamped onto the parchment paper and embossed in white

I then dabbed powdered mica paints over them in lemon and soft green to match the backing paper.

The wording was stamped and embossed in white onto a cream pearly paper which was matted onto a pale green paper from the Peacock CD.

I then finished it off with a white bow and scattered sequins over the paper.
