Decoupage cards

My post for today is of cards I have been making the last few weeks using decoupage images. The first two images are of c6 cards simply using a Tonic die to cut into the card to create a decorative space for my images and placing coloured card behind. Once the images were placed I simply used peeloff borders, corners and sentiment to finish.



My next two images are using 6x6 base cards with matts to compliment the colours in the flowers. They both have an embossed layer with a die cut shape to fit the decoupage image. Before placing my image onto the die shape I inked through the die to show of the detail. I added ribbon, gems and sentiments to finish. All four cards are very simple, quick and easy to make. I really enjoyed making these.

MTTC challenge 15/2

It's time for a new challenge over on MTTC The theme is "sympathy" Here is my DT sample, hope you will be able to join in.
I started off with some papers printed ready to cut from a CD (sorry not sure which) my base card was made to fit underneath the largest layer and scored to make an easle card. After putting peeloffs around all the edges of the layers I placed them onto my base card using silicone glue to raise the layers a little. I used a contrast paper for the base part of the card and also for my stopper. I then cut out the cross from a die and used ribbon and flowers to finish off.

Love is in the air

My post today  is my DT project for Stamping Dragons Designs challenge. The theme for the SDD challenge is Love is in the air. It would be great if you could pop over and join in the fun.

 The prize is 


My base card is A5 and I chose to try out this layout for the first time, using papers Dreamy peach and Swirly triple hearts image from Stamping dragons store I first placed a mirror card layer leaving a small border onto my base card. I then cut a pice of blue card slightly smaller than the mirror card and used a border punch at the bottom. I then cut pieces of one design paper into strips, cutting at an angle to create the effect I wanted. Once I was happy with these I then placed them onto the blue card trimming off any excess. I created a small border using a second paper from the collection and added peeloffs. To finish I printed out my design and used a die to cut it out, I inked the edges before removing from the die adding gems to my topper before placing onto my card.

Sympathy

Todays post is my card sample for 'feeling crafty challenge' This is a fab challenge with a great prize. The theme is Die cuts and/or punches.
I started with a large die to make my card shape, my first layer is a smaller die from the same set which I embossed. My second layer is a die which I also embossed slightly, I then put peel offs around all the edges of my layers. The cross topper is a die which I layered onto black card to help it show better, a smaller cross was layered on top. I cut butterflies and swirls to embellish and added a sentiment.
