1st Blog Birthday

Good Morning all, gosh can you believe today my blog is 1 year old, and what a year.  Thank you to all my regular followers and those that stop by now and then.

Today i am sharing a batch of cards that came together from backgrounds made with brusho/pixie powder mix left over from my Christmas cards and the white inverted scallop squares which were the 'left over' from die cut frames i used. 

Lemon & Blue combo, Violet flower die

5x5 cardbase.  I die cut the tim holtz mixed media die into my white top panel, this i mounted over a panel of lemon & blue brusho cardstock.  I cut my violets from the same card, i added a little blue glue to the flower centres.  Sentiment can easily be changed to any occasion. 

5x5" White base card.  Square mat cut from my backing paper.  I then die cut the collage corner die into the topper, stamped sentiment in grey and mounted with 3D foam.  Die cut butterflies and glitter glue to finish.

This first one is a lilac/green combo

Orange & Lilac combo.  The photos don't really do the colours justice as the pixie powders really do sparkle when the light hits them.

Lilac & Peach, Tim holtz mixed media corner die

Orange & Blue combo

Green & Orange,

And finally a mix up of orange, green & Lilac.  I gently shaped the butterfly wings and only add glue down the middle so that the wings are lifted up off the card.  

Items Used:
