Chantilly Cream - 'Love' by Katrina Thompson

Hello everyone!! I have some more Chantilly Cream goodness today on the blog, to hopefully inspire you all. I have used the Chantilly Cream Papercrafter pack and with a few flowers to embellish you will find the endless combination of images from this pack can give you so many variations for whatever project you may wish to adapt to. I hope you enjoy!

Select your combination of images and background papers. Notice I have sliced the

cream  rectangle. I really wanted to use it but it wasn't as long as I needed so by splitting

 it and hiding the split under the other layers, we've instantly made it longer.

Create your own frame by cutting the center from this

amazing flourish and using it to frame the flowers.

Arrange your layers to gauge the fit before inking and attaching.

The flowers are a combination of the Carabella rose, the organza lace flower with diamante,

an open paper rose and the small flowers from the cornsilk flowers.

All layered with the flowers, some muslin and the Tattered net trim to embellish.

I have inked with Scattered Straw and Dried Marigold.

The cornsilk flower is tucked into a paper petal.

Use your 3D tape between your layers to give you depth.

Thankyou.... and until next time, Happy Creating! K x

Chantilly Cream Cards with Flowers

Hello Bloggers

This post really should be called leftovers & mats since I used some of the ephemera that were not used on the Chantilly Cream mini book & created some cards using the Flower ephemera & different mats.

Vanilla bazzill was used, antique linen distress ink & leftovers from Chantilly Cream Papercraft kit - 3 pieces of ephemera featuring cream flowers.

Card no. 1:

The Snowdrops ephemera was mounted on green cardstock & then onto a sage green fibre material.

A butterfly charm, green ribbon & a pearl spray were used to embellish.

Card no. 2:

Was matted on blue/grey cardstock & then onto vanilla bazzill. It was them embellished with a small piece of tattered net, paper rose leaves, 2 blue paper flowers & an antique blue velvet forget me not. A blue ribbon was tied around the front of the card, a piece of dodo wire tucked into the

 flower posy & a ladybird charm added for whimsy.

Card no. 3

Is a tall slim card using the cream roses ephemera matted on sage green cardstock & then onto the vanilla cardstock.  The embellishing is again kept very simple - a cream woven edge organza ribbon, a pearl spray & a heart charm

The 3 cards were made in very little time; they used leftover ephemera, scraps of cardstock in my stash for mats & were embellished very simply.

The ephemera were all printed on a cream patterned background so, when cutting them out, you can use part of the this background as an additional mat - this is what I did with cards 1 & 2; card 3 had none used.

Hope these give you some ideas on simple cards

Bye for now
