Simple variations

So.... I'm still without my printer ink as it's not arrived yet, and and so, I'm using more embellishments and papers up that I already have.

I think maybe that the lilac backing papers I used across the centre of the cards is a little too close a match to the backing card, but they are still quite effective.

3 Times Dolly Daydream

My printer ink ran out! Horror of horrors. And so I had to amuse myself with the oddments that I already have in my craft box.
These cute little dollies are part of the result, amongst many others.
I had 3 of them left, and therefore made variations on a theme for each card.
They are sweet little cards - lovely for a little girl, and believe it or not, I've already sold one so they must be OK LOL!

Lilac Love

This lovely lilac chap, was just the job for my friend - once I had layered him up and placed him over the backing papered card blank, he looked smashing.

Lazy Day Fishing

I made this for my boss. His birthday is very imminent, and as he loves fishing, I thought I'd do this for him, once again from my Popcorn The Bear CD-ROM.
You must be finding all these bear cards very boring, but I have to try all of the images out, as I have them LOL!

Lucious Lilac


These little bears were decoupaged onto a white DL card blank that have been covered using popcorn bear lilac backing paper.
The beige dotty paper was ribboned across the blank, before the main picture image was added, along with the wording.
I made this for my friend Mandy for her birthday, and must admit this is another favourite of mine, so I think it will be made many, many more times in the future.

Happy Ducky Day

I loved this little image on the Popcorn Bear Birthday CD-ROM.
The pyrimage came together very easily, and I layered it onto some popcorn bear background paper from an individual set I have. All of the elements were layered onto a DL pale pink hammered card blank.
It was all topped off with some gold peel offs and border strips.
I gave this to Elaine today for her birthday, and was granted a huge smile when the envelope was opened.

Love To You Bear

I made this card to complete an order for another lady. She had just found out her friend was seriously ill and wanted something to show she was thinking about her.

The topper was from the 'Men's' CD-ROM, but the insert and backing paper were from the Floral CD-ROM in the Popcorn Bear Trilogy.

I wrapped the backing paper around a standard white DL card blank and placed the topper and corner peel offs.

Using the left over backing paper, I used my deep edge daisy cutter for the detail and then printed an insert, that was personalised with the ladies name.

I have to say, that this is my most favourite card in a long long time. The finish was great and looked like it was shop bought.

My customer was thrilled.
