Lillybet's Papers

Trying very hard to get to play with some new products, only problem is the accumulated samples and trials on my desk, so I am slowly clearing away the pile of unfinished ideas, being very disciplined and finishing each one.  I have had these PoolParty gals on my desk for so long! I love this retired DSP and have teamed it with some Lucky Limeade Cardstock, various ribbon trims,brads, buttons and bows and some embroidery thread. I am quite happy with how they turned out because I have been avoiding them for ages. Each card has a strip of Pool Party C'ordinations cardstock embossed using the Delicate Designs Embossing Folder , which is then trimmed using the Large Scallop Edgelits and then sanded to give the 2 tone effect which I really love.The stamped image is from the Million Dollar Moment s set and it is cut with the Ovals Framelits.  I used different sentiments and embellishments for detail. The hearts and the umbrella have little highlights using...

Two super easy cards using the lattice die and Calypso coral cardstock, using one and a half die cuts on the wedding card - layered onto Sahara Sand cardstock, and the other half on the birthday card. It takes a few simple snips to maintain the curve on the smaller piece. Then you can cover the join with a strip of DSP (from Epic Day series) or ribbon - White Taffeta and some bakers twine. The flowers are fantastic because the daisy from the Best of Flowers Set coordinates perfectly with the 11/4" scallop punch.  The sentiments are a sneak peak from the new Artisan Label shape set.  Oh and of course a bit of Washi Tape (also super easy to use) from the Epic Day series. If you would like to purchase any of these great items please see the shop now button at the top left of this page - or email me, I'm happy to help. Thanks for looking,  Liz

Using up some retiring products and I remember how much I do like Bravo Burgundy . I stamped it onto Very vanilla in the leaf and french script images  from French foliage  and used the Aqua Painter to soften the colours. It was surprising just how pink and rich the watercoloured images were. The leaf image then required a bit more depth so has some silver highlights added with a gel pen. Extra leaves were stamped and cut out with Always Artichoke , extra sponging in Crumb Cake added a bit more depth. some Linen Thread , buttons and simple sentiments were used to finish it all off. Thanks for looking, L silver highlights on the leaf iz
