Creative Cards #1

Hello Bloggers

Card #1 - The focus is on the inside

The green card is fairly simple on the front.  The green cardstock is folded in half. A piece of florist ribbon is folded down the side 1.5cm from the edge; a Green Mauve Delphinium #40200  is added & a vintage trinket cut in half with a small piece of dodo vine tucked in for interest.

The green bead is to lead the recipient into the card.


The inside of the card is where the interest is.  The same green florist ribbon continues down the inside; a Vintage beauty is tucked into the ribbon along with a tag which is ready for journaling.  The other inside of the card has some ephemera as well as another tag for journaling.  Once the tags are journaled they can be attached.  The patterned papers used on the background are from the White Flowers on Green Paper Collection.

Vintage trinkets with a small pearl have been added for more interest





Card #2 - Focus is on the Front of the Card

Same papers, florist ribbon & Delphinium flower as Card #1; different ephemera, white cardstock as a base (could use green or cream),  skeleton leaves, fleur de lys vintage trinket to coalate with the French ephemera & a piece of green skeleton ribbon (folded in half) is placed on top of the florist ribbon.  The inside is plain with a simple ribbon as a pocket for the journaling tags



Hope these cards give you some ideas
Bye for now

PRETTY IN LAVENDER

Hello It's Annette here
 welcoming you to Megs Garden Blog
 Today I wish to share with you my 'Mirror Image Frames'
.....well they're nearly mirror image .... 
'Pretty in Lavender'
using the very pretty range of papers from 
titled

These papers are lovely in their delicate colours of violet, mauve & lavender
& I was happy to start playing as soon as my  DT goodie box arrived ..
Meg also added in some extra trimmings &
I hunted through my stash & gathered 'purple'  stuff ...
the silver frames were a Christmas present from 'secret santa'
which I rubbed them with inka gold to highlight the pattern
the Chipboard frames were silver embossed then also rubbed with inka gold on the edges
I added water to the inka gold to colour my skeleton leaves
 Using patterned paper as my background I adhered the chipboard & 
the silver matted image
the tassle is made from a bead fringe which would be quite a number of years old
as it was in my mum's sewing treasures ( it will come in handy one day)
then added a spray of flowers & a sprinkle of beads to complete

PRETTY in LAVENDER
I'm quite pleased with the finished result & it's only the images that are not mirrored.
Please take some time to stroll (scroll) through the garden
& be inspired by the Garden Ladies 

Happy Scrapping
