Petaloo Card

This fold out card is going to making it's way to a very special friend in England and all the flowers that are used in this creation are from Petaloo. Petaloo were our major sponsors for our CDAC 1st birthday celebrations that were held during the month of June. The competition at the Petaloo site is still running for projects using the 'Color Me Crazy' range. I had been waiting on flowers that I'd ordered online and was so happy when my postman finally delivered them. The flowers are a dream to work with and can by dyed using just about any medium. I chose to use glimmer mist to lightly shade them and perfect pearts for the shimmery centers.
Above is the card opened up and the flower clusters are on the opposite side to the flowers that are on the outside. The flat section of each flap is where it is tucked into the flap before it to create the cone effect. I was lucky to recieve a collection of already cut out leaves and they all come in very handy when putting this project together. Sorry I don't know the names of the punches but I do know that I will be trying to get some of these are they look great. I did draw in the vains on the leaves to give them a little touch of glitter.
One of my favourite sayings is 'that there are no mistakes only creative challenges' and it couldn't have been truer when it comes to me trying to sew. What was suppose to be a neat stitching around the copic coloured digital called 'Coffee Baata' didn't end up like that. The machine tore the paper or perhaps it was the fact that I couldn't sew straight and ran off the edge and then it made a big knot. I think that my cover up with the zig zagging worked out in my favour and created an interesting bottom. The digital was then glued to the light blue tissue paper.
There is a little lace tag sewn onto the bottom of the main image that when lifted reveals the sentiment underneath. With the number of friends that I have made online this one seemed perfect to give to my online friend for her birthday. I wonder how long it will take to get to England?

Baby Animals 1 Card

Killing 3 birds with one stone so to speak. I coloured each of the baby animals for an ATC swap that I was in (Details in previous post). I then used the cards before they were embellished to create a colour sheet by scanning in the coloured images to put with the 'Baby Animals 1' digital stamp set. Next I created a sample card to display in my store and the card above is the finished result. So I guess it's what they call a hybrid card using a combination of digital and elements.

Below is the inside of the card which is totally digitally created.
