Bella Carta

a little something different

I haven't papercrafted in a while, at least not in the traditional sense of cardmaking.  But I have been making these earrings, they are light as air cause they are on watercolor paper.  They're from a watercolor sketch that a friend of mine was going to throw away. And since I seem to enjoy dumpster diving, I thought to myself - hmmmm, I bet I can make something out of those!

I sealed these with Golden's gel medium, and added a little crystal charm.  They are punched to 7/8in square and I used a silver leaf pen around the edges.

 

pitter patter

Inspired by a card on the cover of PaperCrafts (Mar/Apr 2012) magazine, this card is for a friend of mine expecting her first baby. 

Cardstock:
Aqua Mist and Sweet Blush (PTI)
Stamps:  foot (PSX) and Handwritten Notes (PTI)

does Monday have you twisted up?

I played along with Mini VSN this weekend (Virtual Stamp Night) on Splitcoaststampers.  This card was for the second challenge - "twists and turns".

The challenge was about using things that are flourished or curvy, but I decided to literally twist the ribbon.  For the challenge I dug out my long retired SU Organza ribbon in rainbow ombre tones.  I love this ribbon, its all colors and matches everything, and its fantastic for wrapping packages too :-)

a little more apothecary art

The new set from Stampin' Up! Apothecary Art!  

a little fancier love note

 

Embossed the background, button and ribbon details added!  These are felted ornaments that I scored in an after Christmas sale - they are perfectly sized for cards, lightweight and thin enough for using them as decoration.
