Silver Wedding Anniversary

*************************

Commission

The main layer is scored with 1" diagonals and matted on to the base card with foam tape. There are three layers of ovals - the bottom layer is silver mirri card cut with fancy scissors (you can't see this too well in the pic). The 'fancy' oval layer was embossed with the CB texture EF and painted with iridescent medium. The greeting is computer generated and these top two layers adhered with foam tape.

The gorgeous lace is from Linda, Funkie Junkie's boutique and flowers bought at a craft fair last year.
The seam binding ribbon is Cadbury chocolate purple - it looks a bit dark here and is actually much lighter IRL.

CACB #70 - Easel Cards

*********************

Crafty Ann's Challenge #70

Easel Cards/Projects

I haven't made an easel card in quite a while and enjoyed making this one.

I love the Poinsettia with Script digi and the best thing is that it is pre-coloured - such a bonus if you are strapped for time.
I love the other colours too but went with this green border one for my card today.

This beautiful  backing paper is from the Traditional Christmas Scrapbook Kit.  It really is the most gorgeous red.
I finished the card simply, with just a red organza bow.

I hope you will join in this challenge with your easel cards.
The DT have some gorgeous designs for your inspiration over at Crafty Ann's so do pop over to see them.

Meerkat Greetings

*****************
I've been having troubles but still have a few cards to post on the blog.

I am also struggling a little not being on my own computer!!

At the moment I am staying at my DD's and  minding the store for her while she has a break with her family. I don't help her out so often now and luckily for me I haven't been inundated with orders.......so far!!

A bit of fun for hubby's birthday from the grandchildren.

We all love the Meerkats ads and it is so kind of Aleksandr to loan me his photo for these cards.
I'm sure you'll guess that the words need to be read in Aleksandr's Russian accent, LOL.

Paper Peicing at Crafty Ann's

**************************

Paper Piecing

Paper piecing is a new technique for me so I've gone for something CAS, something else I rarely do.

The image is the lovely morning glory printed directly on to cream coloured card. The flowers are pieced with the bright pink from the Polished Stone collection and the leaves with one of the Abstract collection from Crafty Ann's digi shop.

I hope you will join us for this challenge. 

The DT have some excellent examples for you to see over at CACB, so do pop in to check them out
