Beautiful Friendship Vintage Style Card

Hello again and Happy Monday to everyone.  Blogger have been updating my blog - I know several of you have been having the same problem and I thought I had lost everything today.  There was a moment of mad panic and then I used my usual highly skilled computer technical knowledge - I started pushing all the keys I thought would help.  Yippee, I did it, I don't know what I did, but we seem to be up and running, but its very slow.  If you find any problems on this blog please let me know and I will press some more keys  - relevant or not.

I have used the wonderful image Beautiful Friendship and this can be found  at
Beautiful Friendship Digital Stamp from Hello, that's Fabulous

Materials used for this card:

Wonderful image as listed above.  Coloured using ProMarker, FlexMarker Pens and Prismacolour Pencils.  Lots of lovely Vintage Distress Inks which I think has made this card very retro - almost French Shaby Chic.

Core'dinations Card and beautiful Kaisercraft papers and embellishments

Butterfly 3D embellished border from my stash and Velum butterfly printed from a Joanna Sheen CD

Ribbon, flowers and crystal stem from my stash.

Easter Lillie with Tulips - Twisted Easel Card

Hello and Happy Day to everyone.  Following the most lovely and Springlike week here it is dark, cold and raining, a small reminder that Spring has not yet sprung.  The days are getting lighter and it is much warmer, so hopefully not long now until the year has turned around again.

On to my card for today.  I have had my first attempt at a twisted Easel Card and I found this quite difficult.  My old brain had to work again, never a good idea.  I have used the delightful digital image Easter Lillie with Tulips she is a Lexi Creation and can be found here. She is a little cutie pie.

Materials used for this card:

The so cute Easter Lillie with Tulips Digital image coloured with ProMarker pens and White Gel pen, and distress inks.

Green backing card, papers for Hot of the Press and my stash

Yellow vintage seam binding ribbon and stick on ribbon also from my stash.

Buttons and yellow cord from my stash.

I have had these flowers in my stash for a while and its nice to see them mounted on a card.  Flat flowers are I think Prima Designs and the paper Daffodils are from my stash.

Spellbinder dies have been  used to cut the papers and sentiments.

Digital Sentiments.

Small mushroom label purchased as a digi image from Etsy.
