New home

   This card made use of a combination of Carnation Craft and Tattered Lace dies.
   Using dies from Tattered Laces Southfield Picture Decoupage set I created an oval ring which I attached  to pale mauve card matted onto white. The fuchsia and bird's nest dies and accompanying downloadable vignettes were from Carnation Crafts Full of Love set and the grasses were from their Safari Garden set. The words for the sentiment were cut using various Tattered Lace dies.

Scientist

   My grand daughter has found it difficult during lockdown to complete her chemistry A-level experiments so I thought that this digi image from The Paper Shelter called science was appropriate for her birthday card. I coloured it using Promarkers and cut it out using a Tattered Lace pearl rectangle die. As she is quite fond of wearing black I used black and dark grey card for the mats and layers and also added black and grey strips of ribbon and grey pearls.

Camping

   I coloured this digi image from The Paper Shelter called I Love Camping using Promarkers and matted it onto black card. I then matted and layered this onto paper printed using Peerless Designs Woodland Treasures CD ROM and black card. Before matting the whole onto white card I wrapped narrow black glittery ribbon round each of the four corners. The card was finished by adding a bow, black gemstones and a peel off sentiment.
