Gorgeous Gerberas!!

Here is the June club set for Little Claire's Designs - it's called Gerbera Set and it's gorgeous:

The set includes a large Gerbera flower, a group of smaller gerberas and two sentiments.

I kept the first card simple: I shaded the petals with a pink Promarker and kept to a simple pink and white colour scheme.

For my second card, I used Alcohol inks to create the background and to colour the flower.

I used the Swirl cutting die from Little Claire's Designs to create the stem and butterflies ...

and added Glamour Dust for a touch of sparkle!

Sneeky Peak!

Here's a sneeky peak on a new release from Little Claire's Designs. It's called Spikey Flower Set and it is sooo lovely!

I created a background with alcohol inks and stamped the main image in black...

...then I stamped the corner design and coloured them with atyou Spica pens and added my beloved Glamour Dust for extra sparkle!

The second card was stamped the same way but I folded the card front back for a more dimensional effect.

I stamped the sentiment inside.

Watch this space for more new releases...

Perfectly Shabby

I love the new 'Perfect Papers' from Pink Petticoat.

I printed these pretty grey and cream papers onto photo paper, coloured in the roses and distressed and inked the edges with Distress ink.

I added Glamour dust to the torn paper and made a handmade flower using card and shimmer mist.

The inside is decorated to match.

New Releases from Little Claire's Designs!

GEORGIA

Little Georgia is watering her garden and doesn't she look so cute! The image is so versatile, it could be used for any occasion and is a breath of fresh air after the ice and frost we've had this week.

Images coloured with Promarkers; gingham ribbon oval scallop and leaf cutting dies from Little claire's Designs; Martha Stewart daisy border punch; button, gems and ribbon from stash; Nestabilities; Swiss dots cuttlebug folder.

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU

This little elephant taking care of her tortoise friend is just so cute and the image is so easy to work with. I wanted to make two totally different cards, so I used plain cardstock for the background to the first and Pink Petticoat papers for the second card. I cut leaves from the papers and attached a handmade flower to finish it off.

Both images were coloured with Promarkers; Glamour Dust added for sparkle; Nestabilities; card candy; gem.

A PLACE IN THE SUN

This new stamp is fantastic for all occasions and comes with a choice of two sentiments - Birthday Wishes and Home Sweet Home. I loved working with these new stamp as it is completely different from anything I have used before and I am very pleased with the results. The photos dont really do the cards justice :( The first card has a lovely summery feel to it - the perfect antidote to this dreadful weather!

I coloured the images with Promarkers (1st card) and Distress Inks (2nd card); papers from Pink Petticoat; Martha Stewart punch; gems.

BIRDCAGE

Just look at this cute little girl reading her book while her little birdie is keeping her company! This image is just so cute and works well with both contemporary vintage colour schemes.
Image coloured with Promarkers; papers from Pink Petticoat; Bazzill card; gems; peel-offs from Little Claire's Designs.
