Simple & Elegant

Hello everyone,

I have created a simple yet elegant card using patterned papers from Meg's Garden online store.
The papers are from the Vintage Journal card series called Vintage Flowers. I have also used some A4 watercolour paper along with paper lace strips, organza ribbon, and trims.

My card is suitable for any occasion eg. Birthday, Engagement, Wedding, Anniversary or as a sympathy card.

To create my card I have distressed the paper edges using a distressing tool.

The edges were then inked using a shade of light brown ink.  I like how inking adds extra dimension to the distressed edges. 

Then the trims and papers were layered and added to my card base.

The flower journal card is adhered using 3D foam tape. 

To finish add an organza bow, self-adhesive pearls and a touch of glitter.

Until next time.

I hope you all have a wonderful day & happy creating.

A Victorian Christmas Decor/Tableau

Hello Bloggers

I opened one of the new Victorian Christmas Papercraft packs & decided I would do something different with it.  Decided to do a decor for a mantle, an entrance hall table, a sideboard in the diningroom or wherever you want a touch of Christmas

Front view - I used grey/blue cardstock.

  The panels at the back of the piece are 6" sq with a join in the middle. The panels in the foregound are 11.25" x 3.5" with a tab attachment at the end.  The whole piece folds up with a ribbon tie at each end of  the main back piece. The little lady in front is a separate piece with an easel back.  Cream cotton lace with antique blue velvet forget me nots, some green paper leaves & copper organza ribbon with a blue edge  are the only embellishments on the foregound panels.  The ephemera were chosen so that the sizes matched, somewhat, on each side

The Papercraft pack contains 6 pieces 5.4" square plus 6 matching/same strips 2" x 5.4" - all of them were used here - 4 on the front & 2 on the back. All or the images are included in the papercraft pack. There were several images not used - these could be made into tags, mini cards or used on a layout.

Hope this gives you some ideas for decorating the house or office for the Holiday season.

Bye for now
