CREATIVE CRAFT COTTAGE

3 OF A KIND

I used the same papers to make 2 sentiments.
I coloured the image using COPICS
I placed some tiny flowers over the flowers in the image
and placed a pearl in the centre of 3 of the flowers.
I die cut some leaves and arranged them to give the appearance
of vines growing on the bird house.
I cut a thin strip of paper to make a 'stand' for the bird house..
I die cut a little fence and placed it at the bottom...
The I die cut some grass and placed it along the base of the fence.
Then I placed some tiny white flowers among the grss.

LET'S CRAFT & CREATE #113

Hello and good morning!

Im here with a new challenge post for
LETS CRAFT & CREATE
which starts today.
The theme is
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS/PRETTY IN PINK
There is a lovely prize of some beautiful Petaloo flowers to be won!
Here is my inspiration card


I cut the card using my Silhouette Cameo.
I purchased the file from the Silhouette store.
I cut it out in white then adhered a piece of pink cardstock to the inside
so as to show through the support ribbons.
I cut out a pink support ribbon with a heart on it...
then cut it out again slightly bigger in white to give a shadow effect.
I didnt think it needed anything else.

And thats my DT card for this time.
I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.
Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.
