Kookaburra Crafts

This week I designed a card around a brilliant idea one of my students showed me. The original that I saw was done with a different die, but I just love this one using the Spellbinders Blossom Two die. It's one of those Nestabilitie sets that I just "had to have" and then hardly every used..until I saw this idea. I just loved it and it uses so little card to make. The papers that I decided to use are from Echo Park's Be Mine collection. I think the pink, grey and white combination works so well together. (Please excuse the photography). The stamp is a free one that I picked up with a magazine but it and the rose and the pearls in the centre of the doily design really bling the card up a bit. It just needed that little something else...you know what I mean? Oh and of course lets not forget the bow...

I received a bunch of new 3D's in last week and among them was this King and Queen sheet from Le Suh that I thought would go perfectly with this DP from Echo Park. I layered it onto black Bazzill cs and then layered some Noel from Teresa Collins onto more black Bazzill cs. I've used black soot distress ink around the edges of the two designer papers and Vintage Photo distress ink around the 3D. I added a tag on the right side with a sentiment from Just Rite Stamps "Mini Everything Tag Set" and the gold accent is from Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Motifs. Thanks for stopping by 

  Goth Girl/Boy Unlike the first card this week, this one was a little bit tricky. I used black Bazzill CS and a Die-namics border die called Faux Crochet down the right side. The DP is from Echo Park and is called Black Damask. This is layered onto Bazzill "Pansy" CS. The ruffled ribbon was the tricky part of the card and we had some fun doing that!! The 3D is from Matori and is called Gothic, it features both a boy and a girl on the sheet. Thanks for stopping by
