I started with a 6x4 red card base. I used a strip of holly paper about 2ins wide and adhered it to the left side. I placed a vintage style winter topper to top right and below that placed an EMBOSSED sentiment..(no pun intended on the sentiment). I placed a some handmade holly on the Snowmans hat band and another piece at the top left.

So I started of with a 6x6 base card turned to make a tent card.
I used the G45 paper pad ONCE UPON A SPRINGTIME.
I am a G45 addict Im afraid lol. This particular pad is ideal for springtime creations.

I cut two pieces of contrasting card, one 5.75x5.75in the other 5.5x5.5.
I placed a chipboard frame in the centre.
Then I fussy cut some flowers and rabbits from the main page and placed them around the edge of the frame, the rabbits I placed more to the centre.
I cut out a piece of card the shape of two chipboard Easter Eggs and adhered one to the back of each egg and put them to the left side, putting them at a slight angle. I placed a small fussy cut bird from the pad between the eggs to give the appearance of it sitting on them.
I cut some of the border from the page I had used and placed one piece across the top and down the left side, the other in the opposite corner. Then I added a sentiment banner at the top.
I placed several flowers and leaves around the bottom of the card and one flower with leaves in the top right corner.

I made a crossover card using a tutorial from TERESA ALLDAY
Many thanks to Teresa for sharing her creation and allowing me to use my card.
If you would like to try making a card like this please do go to Teresa's blog and follow her tutorial.

I cut out the base card and used some lovely papers from my stash to cover it.
I cut out three pictures of vinatge ladies and backed them with some plain white card to strengthen them. I put some narrow lace along the edge of both sides of the crossover and then adhered some flatback fancy pearl embellishment on top of the lace.
I placed some co-ordinating flowers from my stash on the left side front and used some die cut leaves and butterflies to decorate around the flowers.
I used a small 'For You' sentiment from my stash also.
Finally I placed the three ladies into the pocket of the card.
And thats it!
A quick and easy card but very effective.

LETS CRAFT & CREATE #110

Good morning!

A new challenge starts today over at 
LACE & PEARLS

Here is my inspiration card


I used a 6x6 base card to start with and covered the front in a pretty floral patterned paper from FIRST EDITION BELLA ROSE paper pad. Love these papers. This one has a pearl sheen to it, very pretty.
I used two shades of pink to make two layers, one just a strip approximately 3.5ins wide, the other a square measuring approximately 5x4.5. Instead of cutting these I just ripped them to make a 'ragged' edge, making it look more 'shabby'
I wrapped a piece of Guipure lace around these two pices and adhered it to the back before adhering them to the front of the card. Across the top of this lace I placed another piece of lace, this one being finer, and placed it across the front adhering across the top. It overlaps the guipure lace.
In the top right corner I placed a white resin heart embellishment from PRIMA.
I love decorative chipboards...and I used an intricate detail border, and a small lace doily..I placed these just above the lace.
I 'fussy cut' a pretty frame picture which came with some papers in my stash, I placed it at a slight angle over the doily and border.
At the left edge I placed some flowers in shades of pink/red that were in my stash and purchased from PETAL LU. I used a few green leaves also. I put two pearl stick pins at the top of the flowers too.
To the right of the frame I added a tag, again from a paper pack in my stash, and placed a pink bow at the top.
And thats my DT card for this time.
I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.
