Vintage Wedding

This week at Live and Love Crafts we were inspired by a "Tres Chic" theme.  Well to me, anything vintage is "Tres Chic".  LOL!  I started with papers from Pion's "Flower Frames" collection and used an image from the Kort and Godt Vintage Wedding 12" x 12" sheet.  You get 8 images and some other vintage goodies as well so it's a great item to have in your stash.


You know I'll always have one bouquet for sure.  This time I added some gorgeous new pins, various Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and one Kort and Godt flower.  Love those!


I added a shabby chic binding bow holding a nice key charm.


Love these Melissa Frances resin pieces but I've been holding this one for a long time.  I was never sure how to use it TILL FINALLY!!!!  This was just the perfect fit!  I added a "LOVE YOU" sentiment using my labeler but funny how I never thought of that before.  Pretty easy huh?


Well thanks so much for joining me today!  As always, I hope you have a great weekend!!

Big hugs,
Eulanda

LLC CHALLENGE

I'M SO GLAD TO HAVE MY LAPTOP BACK!   I thought it had a virus but it turns out just a file was corrupt and slowing down my computer.  PHEW!!

So now I have to tell you about the new challenge at Live and Love Crafts:

LOVE AND LACE!

How easy is that?!  I'm sure we'll all be making all sorts of Valentine's cards this month so you're already half way there!  I've used Maya Design's "Vintage Summer Basics" with lots of distressing on many layers.  You know me.  It's all about the layers!!  hee hee


I've used 3 dies from Noor Design - the heart border, the heart itself and the very pretty oval underneath my image layer.  If you want to know what they are just email me and I can find the numbers for you.  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE that white row of flowers with the pearls already built in and that pink colored lace is just so luxurious!!


This "LOVE" clip is one of my favorites and probably the first thing I've ever actually run out of!! 


Isn't this image just the cutest?!!  As soon as I saw her I knew I had to color her up!!  A Saturated Canary digi called "Kisses" and I colored her up with Copics.  Her hair was tricky let me tell you!  My first attempt didn't work out so well.  ha ha ha!


Hey thanks for stopping by!!   it's truly appreciated!  I will be back soon to announce the winner of my monthly blog candy!!   WOO HOO!

Big Hugs!

Live and Love Crafts Pins and Pearls

Ok here is a card that challenged me!  This week at LLC pins and pearls were our inspiration.  That's not the part that challenged me.  I made the card for a friend and grad colors were gold, yellow and black.  THAT was the challenge!!  Not a super vintagey card (I'm sure that's not a word but it works for me - lol) but I've used lots of supplies from Live and Love Crafts.  I started out with some older papers from Maja Design's "Crea Diem" collection.  Very pretty!


My pins are all in my bouquet.  3 of them are pearl pins new to LLC and my 4th pin is holding my tiny "2012" tag.  A little hard to see because it has reflections on it.  Oooops hee hee.  Love the blackberries and all those extra flowers to which I added a touch of Gesso.  I also looped a few rounds of black pearls from LLC under my Prima flower I had in my stash.


AND I found a big gold tassel hidden in my stash too and who would have figured that years later it would have come in handy?!  And I tell myself I should purge my crafting supplies!!  What am I thinking?  LOL!!  The feather and ink well are Tim Holtz dies which I added some crackle paint to.
The image is called "Grad Girl 2012" from Saturated Canary and colored with my Copics. 


One last picture!!  How can I NOT show you these gorgeous laces?!!  So pretty with the rhinestones on there!


Before I take off I want to let you know these papers are now available at LLC:

Well that's all I have to share today!!  I hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

HUGS!
