My December Commissions

A 21st Birthday A5 card made using a download from MCS called Mystical Sunset. The printed background was matted and layered using silver Holographic card and pink Glitter card cut using Spellbinder dies - Scalloped Rectangles. I used a corner punch to round the edged of the pyramaged image. A simple printed Sentiment Tag was layered onto Holographic card to finish this design.

This 21st Birthday A5 landscape card was designed using MCS The Artist Collection - Dressing Up Dolly Divas cd. For the background I colour matched a plain base colour and then using MCS Papercraft Library - vol 7 Finest Filigree cd, I overlaid it with a scroll baclground and merged them together. For the matts I used glitter card and gold mirri board and then layered the main image on top with elements of decoupage. The printed sentiment tag was cut using Spellbinder die - Twisted Metal Tags and Accents. I highlighted areas with Crystal Glitter and used 3d Crystal Lacquer on the glasses to complete the design.

This 21st Birthday A5 card uses elements from MCS Fab Glam Fifties cd by Nancy Watt. The background to which I added faded images of the gress dress and the main image was printed on Cryogen White card (Craft Creations). I then decoupaged elements to give depth and added glitter and gems to embellish, and 3d Crystal Lacquer on the sunglasses. The printed Sentiment Tag was cut using Spellbinder die - Labels Twenty - once using a piece of main background card and another on white glitter card. I then cut the glitter card tag in half and glued it to the back of the front tag to give an added edge.

A 16th BirthdayA5 card from MCS The Artist Collection - Dressing Up Dolly Divas - which features a matt of pink Glitter card and a printed "Happy Birthday" matt with the figures were both cut using Spellbinder dies - Labels Twenty Three. I decoupaged the central figure and used Crystal Glitter amd gems to embellish the design. The printed Sentiment Tags were cut using Spellbinder die - Labels Twenty.

This 80th Birthday A5 acetate bow fronted card is from MCS Papercraft Library - vol 7 Finest Filigree. The printed backgrounds are layered images and effects to create a vignette which was then glittered using Crystal Glitter. The acetate was cut to fit and wrapped around. The printed Sentiment Tag was cut using Spellbinder die - Grommet Tags - and the gold mirri board flourish cut using Twisted metal Tags and Accents. Paper flowers from my crafty stash were layered up and glued and a gem added to complete this design.

This contemporary A5 landscape Christmas card was made using deep blue cardstock and silver mirri board. The matts were cut using Spellbinder dies - Grand Labels Four - from a white satin card and the blue card. The snowflakes and flourishes were cut using Spellbinders - Create A Flake Three and Floral Flourishes from white satin paper. The printed Sentiment Tag was cut using Spellbinders die -Labels Four. White satin ribbon was pleated along the front and Ice from MCS Embellishment Attic was added to complete the design.
