Sweet Eline

I dug out another Nellie Snellen stamp, this one is Sweet Eline – Flower.  And I paired this with more of those delish Sweet Paris papers.  The fab sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps - Elegant Label Sentiments and matching die

Coloured with copic markers, I used:

Hair: E57, 55, 53, 51, 50
Skin: E13, 11, 00, 000, R30
Dress & flowers: N5, YG63, 61, G20: R22, 20, 000, 0000

Uh, I think I went a bit crazy with the Noor Design Burlap Stencil, but I just love the shabby effect it gives. 

All the embelies are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Isn’t this new lace with flowers just stunning?  Details for this are at the end of the post

Here’s all the goodies that I used from Wild Orchid Crafts:

WHITE GUIPURE LACE WITH FABRIC FLOWERS MKX-224
PALE PINK MULBERRY PAPER CHRYSANTHEMUMS MKX-202
PALE PINK MULBERRY PAPER OPEN ROSES MKX-005 10mm and 20mm
MIXED GREEN OPEN ROSES MKX-075 15mm

WHITE COLOR LONG STEM STAMENS MKX-471
MIXED GREEN SELF ADHESIVE PEARLS - ⅛" (3mm) MKX-502
LOUVRE BORDERS CUTOUT SET GST-053

Maybe I’ll be out of my green phase by the next card lol.  Then again, probably not as I have been stock-piling some delish Lemoncraft papers

Wee Rosetta

Sorry I’ve been MIA again, I’ve not been feeling too grand this past couple of weeks.  I’m back to the cardiologist on the 30th so fingers crossed they can do something now that the results from all the scans and procedures are in.  I just wanna feel like ME again lol.

So anyway, this card took me the better part of a fortnight to finish, the colouring alone took me a couple of evenings as I was only working for short periods of time.  I thought I had inked and coloured Rosetta before, but shame on me!  It had been sat in my Whimsy Stamps box for ages. 

I used a whole bunch of copic markers on this sweetie:

Skin: E13, 11, 00, 000, 0000, R30
Hair: N5, E57, 55, 53, 51, 50
Clothing: N5, YG63, 61, G20; N5, R22, 20, 000, 0000
Wings: YG6, 20, R20, 0000
Roses: N5, R22, 20, 000, 0000
Leaves: N5, YG67, 61, 20
Ground: N5, W3, 1, 0, 00
Background: BG70, BV20, BG000, 0000

The sublimely delish papers are Lemoncraft Miss Olivia that I got from Scrap and Craft.   Love, love, LOVE their papers.  I used a Prima die to cut the doily.  I made some tiny wee hydrangea flowers using a Sizzix Thinlits Hydrangea die set, coffee filter paper, a touch of green copic for the centres and tips of the petals and a green pearl.  Love how these turned out

And of course the embellishments are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I used

MIXED PINK MULBERRY PAPER COTTAGE ROSES QVR-043
PALE PINK MULBERRY PAPER CHRYSANTHEMUMS MKX-202
MIXED GREEN OPEN ROSES MKX-075 20mm and 15mm sizes
PALE PINK MULBERRY PAPER OPEN ROSES MKX-005 10mm size
VINTAGE SEAM BINDING RIBBON - CAMEO BEIGE MKX-474
WHITE ELASTIC ORGANZA RUFFLE TRIM MKX-300
MIXED GREEN SELF ADHESIVE PEARLS - ⅕" (5mm) MKX-494
MIXED GREEN SELF ADHESIVE PEARLS - ⅛" (3mm) MKX-502
MIXED COLOUR FLAT BACK PEARLS IN A DIAMOND CIRCLE MKX-657

Catch up with you again soon (I hope!)
