Get Well #1specianity


What is better if you do not love the sun so much but to sit in your craft room and make cards and today although not so sunny that is what I am doing.
I love Pion Design for their romantic images, soft and delicate and suitable for all occasions. I chose this cute bird image for today's card for a work colleagues mom who was rushed into hospital. I used A5 size card and materials included :-
Pion Design Paper, wheat floral, flowers, chipboard leaves, Lace, corrugated card, sculpture paste, stamens and twine all from stash. I know Swedish House Crafts stock Pion and a fab selection of chipboard plus other goodies.

Purrfect Birthday.#1specianity

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Hello, been a while since I posted but thought I would share a  card recently made using my favourite brands.
Starting with this cute kitty from Pion, Furry Friends and tones of browns & blues. the backing paper was fussy cut to show the bird image who  accidentally flew the cage! The birdcage has been embossed using Frantage and finished with pretty twine and florals.
behind my image I used the Brick Wall chipboard available from Swedish House Crafts. the cute little hidden chipboard bird from stash along with pearls, florals and shabby ribbon binding.
Papers used were Our furry Friends and Maja design Vintage Spring.
sorry regarding the photo quality but I sooo need new camera but funds don't allow with so much happening at home with new pond and drive being constructed.

Mother's Day with Pion

With Mother's day approaching here in the Uk what better paper to choose than those of Pion. the colours are just so soft and feminine you simply cannot go wrong. I am not one to over indulge with emblishments as sometimes these can hide the stunning images, and I love to showcase the images as they are truly breathtaking.
Flowers/Lace from stash, ribbon, pearls, stamens available from the Ribbon Girl
chipboard ivy , Tag from magnolia doohickey kit, Butterfly border die from ebay.
Frame using Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles 7.
Pion papers used--Paris flea Market, Where the Roses Grow.
