Isn't Wee with his tree so cute!!!! I watercoloured him, then heat embossed the edges of the card with gold as a change from distressing them. I used card candy and gems, and a bit of ribbon - nice and clean and simple.
Tilda is watercoloured and stickled and gold gel penned!! I distressed the papers in red and gold ink. The flowers are left over Primas from last year, and I stamped and gold embossed a swirl in the right top corner. The music paper (thanks mum!!) is distressed in vintage photo, red and gold and tied with twine.
I coloured in this gorgeous image of Tilda and Edwin and distressed the background and added stickles. The heart scroll is stamped in broken china and then perfect pearls added, spritzed and dried - it gives a fabulous sheen. I stickled the calla lilies and added a snowflake charm.
Henry is coloured in using my promarkers and then he was distressed using weathered wood and antique cream. The papers are distressed and lightly inked, and then I heat embossed the edges to add a sheen. Rather than adding flowers (it will be for a bloke) I stamped swirls in antique linen and embossed them. Finally I added an orange ribbon.
I used a freebie stamp (not sure is it Daisy or Dandelion!) and inked it up in versafine sepia, and then watercoloured it. The papers are new - Dandelion and Daisy Winter Tale, and the white panel is embossed with the snowflake CB folder. Instead of a scalloped edge I use card candy, and the sentiment is hand written. I punched a couple of snowflakes and layered them with card candy at the centre.
I watercoloured Tilda and coloured the bell and ribbon using silver and starlight inks before cutting her out. The dp are distressed and inked and I angled the dp for a jaunty look (sneezes are useful at time !!!) To make the snowflake feature I cut a circles and punched an elm branch out and inked it up. I added silver brads to the corners, a punched sentiment and gems to the branches. I added a silver ribbon round the side of the box.
Here's a look at the box and the ribbon.
Recipe:
I watercoloured the image and cut it out. I layered it up, adding ribbon. No embellies as I want this to be quite flat to post.
I repeated the papers and colour scheme inside. The ribbon is knotted and fastened using a button.
Do take a look at the other DT easel cards and have a go.
I coloured Tilda using Promarkers and then cut her out. I matted the dp and added a yellow ribbon, and the felt butterfly.
I have had this Gorguss girl coloured in these colours for a few days - big intentions to make a card for a friend of Ellie's (she's a big girl - 10 next birthday!!!) I used flipped the sketch and stamped a border. The stars are made with my nesties, cut onto black card and then gold embossed, as is the sentiment. Simple black ribbon with some red ric-rac finishes it. The colour combo is stunning, and the gold just adds a bit!
The glasses are stamed in versamark and embossed using gold embossing powder. The paper is from my stash. I used black velvet ribbon to add a bit of texture, and the greeting isn't an oval as it would have been huge with congratulations written in it!! I have kept it simple and added no flowers as I wanted a glittery, stylish card.
I masked Tilda and added the bench and then watercoloured the images and the background. I stamped the snowflakes in silver and then embossed them, and added some gems. All the papers and cardstock have been distressed and inked in red ink. I added the prima flowers, some wire and ribbon to complete the card.
