--{Inspired by My Fair Lady - Floral cards}--

Hi there, we have been enjoying/enduring some hotter days here in the UK, and have recently got back from a holiday with family and friends.

While I was away I scheduled some videos on my YouTube channel, including one where I made these cards with Stampin' Up! products.

I made the black and white paper "ribbon" using the glimmer paper in the July to December 2022 mini catalogue.  Unfortunately I used a couple of embossing folders that have retired.  However we have plenty of others to choose from, and many designs would work on a card like this.

The initial idea was inspired by the dress Eliza Dolittle wears to the Ascot races in the film My Fair Lady.

The flowers were created by colouring punched out flowers with Stampin' Blend markers.

The purple flower was created using the ladybird punch multiple times.

Here is the video of how I made them...

---{Colourful florals on a geometric background}---

As some of you may know, I love florals.

I've discovered that what I love even more, is when florals are juxtaposed with geometric designs.  You know... those lines and repeat patterns.  Then what I love even more than that is when you have a colourful flower against a neutral. 

The flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper are perfect for colouring in and cutting out to create a fabulous focal point.

Teemed with the papers from the Well Suited Suite, the contrasts just compliment each other.

Here is the video of the live where I made them.

(Feel free to skip to the best parts)

I used the Stampin Blends from Stampin' Up to colour the flowers.  As they are alcohol based it makes blending the colours so much easier.

With the card below, can you see how the flowers are on the edge and in the corner?  Thats because they were like that on the whole sheet of paper and I didn't want to waste them.

Thank you for stopping by.

{Tag making with mixed media - gilded butterflies}

Sometimes it just has to happen!

Getting messy on the craft table has to happen to create something fun and luxurious... well it does with me.

These sort of projects just take a little bit of thought, lots of layering, and a fearlessness with your craft supplies.  To get the textures it's worth tearing, shaping and looking how different elements look against each other.

This project also upcycled some cardboard packaging, the tags were cut from the backing card that the Stampin' Up! papers are packaged in.  They create a really sturdy base, which is needed for this type of project.  

I was inspired by an image on Pinterest of a tag with 3 butterflies in a row.  It's such a classic layout for any card or tag, and one I use often.  When you have your basic layout, it is easier to layer other things.

These butterlies were created by colouring some silver foiled paper with Stampin Up's Alcohol pens, then stamped and heat embossed the butterfly image from Butterfly Gala.
