Tallulah Crafts: Christening

Tallulah Crafts: Christening: A5 Christening card, using Kanban ' Birth and Celebrations'.  I used an ivory lace ribbon, ivory paper roses and ivory pearls....

Engagement



A5 card using Kanban 'Love and Marriage' paper and topper.  I used a spellbinder die to cut the heart, and I stamped and embossed the sentiment using an Indigo Blu 'Wedding Words' stamp.  I used Tim Holtz 'Tattered Rose' inkpad to ink the heart whilst it was still in the die.  I embellished the card with a white lace ribbon, white pearl heart ribbon slider and white pearls.

Wistful




A5 Birthday Card, using Kanban 'It's a Dog's Life' collection.  I matted and layered red gingham background paper onto gold mirror card.  Then I used one of the borders from the collection, which I also matted onto gold mirror card, and I put this behind the topper.  The topper features a beautiful black Labrador dog, which I think looks quite wistful, hence the name of this card!  I decided to keep the card quite simple, so I completed the card with 'Happy Birthday' and 'With Love' sentiments.

Daisy Dreams


 
A5 birthday card for a friend, using Kanban Language Of Flowers.  I used a pyramage topper featuring a bouquet of daisies.  I also used a lovely sentiment saying "The beauty of true friendship never fades away, it blossoms in the heart forever".  I used Kanban background card with foiled dots from the Language of Flowers collection.  The card was embellished with Kanban gold pearls.

Spring has sprung



A5 card that I made for my Mum, using Kanban's Spring Gardens and Kanban scalloped card blank.  I matted and layered the foiled background onto Hunkydory rainbow shimmer card.  I made a decorative border using contrasting patterned cardstock and a border from the Spring Gardens kit, matted onto Hunkydory rainbow shimmer card.  I used a pretty topper from the kit, matted onto a scalloped circle.  The card was embellished with a butterfly, a sentiment topper and lilac pearl.  I completed the card with the word 'Mum', which was die cut using Sizzix Tim Holz 'Carnivale' alphabet die.

Jasmine



70th Birthday card, using Kanban 'Language Of Flowers' kit.  I used a rectangular jasmine topper, matted onto silver mirror card, then overlaid it with a co-ordinating circular jasmine topper.  I used a Spellbinder die to cut the silver card behind the circle topper.  Behind the rectangular topper, I have used a Spellbinder 'Lily Of The Valley' die in white card.  I matted and layered green patterned card from the Language Of Flowers kit onto silver card.  I embellished the card with white lace and white pearls.  The card was completed with a complementary insert.

Deco Diva


 
I love Art Deco and Art Nouveau, and I just couldn't resist this kit when it was on Create and Craft a couple of years ago.  The ladies are so elegant and quite like the Erte images from the 20's.  I used a twisted pyramage image in olive green.  I matted and layered the green background on silver mirror card.  I created a border using silver mirror card and a strip of the green background paper, then I embellished it with some white and silver striped organza ribbon.  The card was embellished with pearls and completed with sentiments and the number 40.

Fairy kisses



This A5 card was made using decoupage metallic flower fairies from Create and Craft.  I mounted the fairy on yellow embossed and glittered background card.  I then matted and layered using yellow glitter card and Hunkydory rainbow shimmer card.  I embellished the card using a metallic adhesive ribbon border, a paper flower and white pearls.  The card was finished off with a sentiment and an insert.  I think this would be fab for a young girl or indeed the 'young at heart'!
