Peach and white card with homemade flowers



The product I used sold at Joan's Gardens is the Art Institute Designer "Dries Clear" Adhesive for the doily which forms a fancy corner on this card. The flowers were made with a petal punch, then layered with a bit of green from my plastic flower bunch, and a sequin in the centre.

Congratulations in peach

I layered a Prima flower with a white fabric flower and placed a cuf link button in the center.
The leaf coming down from the bow is again taken from my bunch of plastic flowers. The fancy corner is  made with a doily, which I glittered. I edged two of its shapes with pearl rainbow glaze and placed a gem heart between them.

Peach card with ornate 3D flower


I punched four fancy corners and also two sides of a piece of peach coloured matting. Then I used a die cut flower from Kanban and layered it with another flower and placed a glittered pearl in the middle. I recycled the stem and leaves from a bunch of plastic flowers. The heart at its base is a brad.

Umbrella flowers recycled


Here I recycled a broken umbrella skin for the background of ma card - its fabric was far too pretty to throw away! I embellished it with a length of black plastic mini pearl string, a button, and sequins.

Orange and pink ovals birthday card


The task was to make a card with at least two ovals - I decided to go for four in this card, and edged them with a pearl and glitter coating.

The embellishments and the sentiment are metallic foil confetti and a length of silver pearl string.
