The following are all samples done for MCS shabby sweet cd rom launch, this one is a pillow box picture frame which I have simply printed out cut out and added some crafting.co.uk roses which I have coloured with my spectrum noir pens to match the colour of the printed flowers already on the frame. I then added a picture so easy but so affective.


This is a note book which is already measured for you you just print and cut, I added a ribbon held in place by complimentary buttons and brads, then added some gems to the front bearing in mind not to add too much for ease of use.


With this card I layered with some yellow card on a white base (thinking about Easter), I then printed off the images of the children and ducks which are available separately on the cd rom and then just cut them out to make my own decoupage. I only did one layer but how many you do is up to you. The sentiments are also on the cd rom, for the front one I enlarged it and added shadowing for the inside one I used the elite programme to soften the edges of the background image as well as altering the opacity, I then added the sentiment digitally punching it out leaving it as a white text within the background a look which I really like


a simpler decoupaged card plus more of the sentiments




 I had a lot of fun with this little set of cards with matching lined envelopes again all available on the cd rom I altered the size of them using the elite programme and added a matching tag so they could be given as a gift. Simply adding some pearl gems to finish them off tying them together with a length of matching ribbon from my crafty stash (left over from my daughters wedding invites and the perfect colour match)

This card was for the February card swap on the M.C.S forum the theme being monotone or monochrome. the background is from my stencil studio cd rom, the font is from all about alphabets the faux ribbon (with real ribbon insert )is also from my stencil studio. I then made up some black paper clay from Martha Stewart and made some butterflies and a bow. To finish it off although it doesn't show very well I added some glitter using a zig wink of stella pen in clear glitter which is lovely.
