Mum's the word...

...with mothers day approaching 

this post is to show a card I have made for my mother-in-law.

 

The border edges on this card is a punch by x-cut.

It is one of my new punches that I couldn't wait to play with.

The pale pink cardstock is by papermania,

the pearlised pink card is one from my stash.

 

This effect was created by using the off-cuts

 from creating the original border edges.

The card candi is by craftworks and it is a mix of

 'passionista' and 'love me do'.

This little cutie is Milly flower power by Lili of the Valley.

I used my beloved promarkers to colour her in.

The border edges are outlined with 'crystal' stickles.

And to add that extra pizazz

 I used a diamond dust on the flower.

Time for a change...

... well I thought I'd experiment over the weekend

and try something completely different to my usual array of cards.

 

A friend of mine has been making these cute tissue box covers

so I thought why not give it a try.

The cardstock is  Bazill Bling, so it has a nice shiny finish.

The grass and picket fence were both cut using a cuttlebug,

my friend did this for me.

I have though just talked my husband into getting me one.

I cut the hole for the tissues using my cricut, I truly love this machine

the flowers were also cut on this.

The butterfly's are from my stash as are the pearls.

This one is just to show that you can use any size tissue box.

 The cardstock used is also Bazill Bling.

 I picked up the pretty little daisy ribbon from my local craft shop,

I just feel it adds another dimension to this piece.

I used craftworks card candi around the hole for the tissues.

Again the butterfly's and pearls are from my stash.

Thanx for popping by...
