Florist

Today with have another fabulous creation by Sara using the Sue Wilson Kinetics range of dies. 

Sara has created a double window shop scene by making a deep card and adding a recess behind the window.

In the recess there is little borders to look like shelves and then die cut flowers are put on shelves.

On the front of the card Sara used two window dies cuts and also added window boxes.

The flowers are die cut twice to give depth and topiary trees used along the bottom.

A stamp set called 'Meet me at the cafe' is used to create the tops of the windows and stamped onto patterned papers.  The word Florist has been created using a sizzix alphabet set from way back called 'wingo zingo'.

Merry Christmas

Today I have a Christmas card because that time of the year is starting to get nearer.

I am just loving this tree die by Impression obsession at the moment called

Birch tree with birds 

The tree is actually three separate dies so you can use as much as you like

 and the birds are separate too, I think it will be in a lot of my cards this year.

For my card I have used the largest die-namics stitched rectangle frame and cut in white card.

 I have used the piece from the centre of the frame to create a background with

 distress inks and a blending tool.

To create the snow look I have sprinkled chunky white embossing enamel over it

and then heated with a heat gun from underneath the card.

If you heat on the top you stand a chance of blowing all the embossing powder off.

The Merry Christmas is a die by presscut and was cut in white card,

I then used versamark and stamp and bond to make it sticky,so that I could add glitter to it.

Distress inks I have used are-

Tumbled glass, peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon and blueprint sketch
