Wedding Card - Penelope Dee Wanderlust

Hello Everyone

I hope that Monday treated you well! ;-)

Today I am sharing a card that I made for a colleague last week, that is getting married.

I was tasked with making a card that many people can sign.

Here is the card I made, using all sorts of bits and pieces from various Penelope Dee collections.

I used postal stamps to add to the background and then layered up the circles.

I added these gorgeous flowers, along with the wording.

I created little pockets on the inside and added paper squares, so that everyone could just take a little square and add their message.

I thought that was quite a good idea for many messages.

I know this card had a bit of a travel and journey theme...but that was the idea, of starting a new journey of marriage and then travelling through life.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wishing you a fabulous day!

Art Journal Page - Penelope Dee Wanderlust Collection

Hello Everyone

Apologies for being missing in action! ;-)

Life is just busy and I am crafting in the background but I don't always find time to sit infront of the pc and blog.

It is Friday and I really look forward to some more crafty time and hopefully can get to some of that blogging and project sharing too! ;-)

I did this art journal page a while back with the Penelope Dee Wanderlust collection.

I just loved these fabulous balloons.

There is a lot of texture on this page as I used a mapped background, which didn't lie as flat as I wanted it to and created texture! LOL...

I added another world map over this background, which was fussy cut from the patterned paper.

I also added stamping and then the gorgeous balloons and the sentiment.

I used distress oxides and acrylic paint to colour the balloons.

I really enjoyed this page, even the unplanned texture...

That's the nature of an art journal page...its ever evolving! ;-)

I hope you get some time to play this weekend...

Have a super one

Wild and Free Mixed Media Layout - Penelope Dee Rustique and Wanderlust

Hello Everybody

I hope that you have had a good weekend and found some time to relax and unwind.

I had a 4 day weekend, which was really super, but it still feels like I could have had another few days! ;-)

I have a Penelope Dee mixed media layout to share with you today.

It's a boy page of my son.

I made it rather grungy, with lots of rusty cogs and bits and also used Paperarty Infusions to add to this grungy feel.

I also used embossing powders to create texture.

The chipboards were also treated to look grungy and have lots of texture.

I loved creating this page and love the end result! So perfect for this boy of mine! ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I really appreciate the visit!

Have a super evening!

Always in My Heart Card - Penelope Dee - Rustique Collection

Hello Everyone

I was able to play some more with the gorgeous Rustique and Wanderlust collection from Penelope Dee and I created this vintage card. I really love how this card turned out.

I used oxides to colour the chipboard and then added some fixative, to give it a little shinier look. Not hugely so, but allowed the colours to show up better on the shiny chipboard.

I also added little bits of leftover lace around the edges of the card.

I used a new die-cut set to cut these leaves. I really love this little set.

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!

I really appreciate the visit.

Have a gorgeous day!
