More Dreams

Here are some more of the cards that my friends and myself made last week using the beautiful Dreams du Jour set. I am really loving this set right now and it is fast becoming a firm favourite. I think it comes up a treat in any colour scheme.

For my card I chose Pink Pirouette as the base card and then used a piece of Real Red DSP. I wasn't overly happy with the size of the scallop square as I felt it could have been a bit smaller but it turned out okay. I have mounted the scallop onto a piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock.

This card was my friend Robyn's. She also chose the same papers I had but decided to change her card around to give a different look. We also had a play with the blender pens when colouring in the stamped images.

This next card was by the lovely Wendy who completely changed the style of her card and even was very clever adding a ribbon weave. I am not sure what the base colour of her card was but I know Wendy used some of the lovely papers from the Bella Rose collection.

All in all another lovely day of card making with friends.

Anyway, I am off to do some house cleaning and tidying as we are expecting interstate visitors over this long weekend. I need my house to look nice and "spiffy" but with four kids that sometimes is a challenge in itself!!

Cards with Friends

Once a week my lovely friends (waving at you Wendy, Robyn and Suzie!!) get together and have a card making day but I think mostly we spend a lot of time talking and laughing!

The following cards we made were from ideas from some wonderful card makers out there and which in turn we just had to CASE. I received my new Dreams du Jour set and we had a play with these beautiful stamps.

The following three cards were inspired by this one from Christine Creations.

This one was made by myself and I went with the new Pacific Point cardstock teamed up with Whisper White and also a piece of DSP from "Petals & Paisleys". I used inks from Tempting Turquoise and Ballet Blue with a blender pen to colour in the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves. The butterflies were inked with Tempting Turquoise. I finished mine off with a very pale blue ribbon.

This next card is made by the lovely Robyn and if my memory is right I think she used Ballet Blue with a piece of DSP from the Old Olive prints. Rob finished her card off with white ribbon.

Next we have the same card made by Wendy. I also think she used Ballet Blue as well and the same Old Olive Prints DSP. Wendy also changed the layout a little and positioned her brads on the top left hand corner. This card was also finished off with white ribbon.

I think these cards all came up lovely and it shows how you can get the same look by changing colours and moving elements around. We did do more cards but I will post them at a later date. There are just too many to put on in one post!! We did end up having quite a productive day with lots of cards made. I will have to get photos of Suzie's cards as she had left before we bought the camera out.
