Howzat?

I made the following for a friend who's involved with her local cricket club.

The decoupage sheets are from a collection I have had for a while now.

This first one was mounted onto a piece of white bazzill and placed onto a 6x6" card covered with Kay & Co paper.

The message is a Craftwork card one which I have mounted onto punched circle and

scallop from SU.

Lots of layers on this one.

The second is from a Dufex sheet.

This one was placed onto a piece of brown bazzill which I left a little wider and wrapped with bakers twine joined with a button.

Less layers to this one but a really bright finish.

Base card is 6x6" covered with paper from my stash.

Scrapology June Card Challenge II

Following on from yesterday's launch on Scrapology of the June card challenge, I also made this card.

Using the last (for now) of the Faye Whittaker decoupage that I made up the other weekend, I created this 8x8" card. Three strips of Kay & Co papers were mounted onto red bazzill and positioned vertically on the card. I then added the same mount to the decoupage and placed it onto the card with 3d foam pads.

I added one of the pre-printed messages to the bottom edge.

This is the sketch we are using this month...

Why not hop on over to Scrapology to see the other DT examples and enter the challenge?

Thanks for looking

Faye Whittaker Decoupage III

And some more....

Another A5 card with the same papers as before.

I added a little strip with lemon ribbon and a knot to the bottom.

I loved this image, it makes you want to follow them down the path - don't you think?

An 8x8" card here, this Kay & Co pad seemed to really compliment these images.

Red Tulips at the top and script at the bottom, joined with the ribbon and simple knot again.

As I said previously, I really don't think that these images need much else on the page.

Such beautiful artwork.

Faye Whittaker Decoupage II

Here are some more of the Faye Whittaker cards...

An A5 cream pearlescent card layered with more Kay & Co papers and lemon bazzill.

I added one of the pre-printed messages to this one as it was quite masculine.

A5 card papers from the same Kay & Co pad (Blue Tulips I think its called) layered with purple bazzill.

I added a strip of lace to this one, I think it was from the Laurence Llewellyn Bowen collection.

These were lovely to cut out too.

A little decoupage............and a plan...

Last week at our monthly crop I cut out and made up some decoupage sheets by Faye Whittaker.

The are from the All Our Yesterdays - In the Garden range and were bought from Cardinal Colours.

I always put double sided tape on the first layer of decoupage if I am not making the card straight away so that it can be easily added to my design once I'm ready.

This first one is an 8x8" CWC card which I have used Kay&Co papers on.

I added a matt of gold mirri card and a red ribbon with a knot.

A touch of stickles was added to look like the droplets from the watering can.

The second one is also mounted onto an 8x8" card with some papers from Prima Sparkling Spring Collection (also Cardinal Colours) a little lemon bazzill and a ribbon again with a knot.

Personally I think detailed decoupage like this does not need any further embellishments on the page as the artwork speaks for itself.

What do you think?

Now, for the plan.......

A few years back Robert and I had a long weekend near Bordeaux in the South of France.

A local restaurant had lavender creme brulee on the menu so I gave it a try.

First you had the lovely crackle of the sugar topping followed by the rich creamy taste and texture of the dessert and finally a hint of aroma which was the lavender. It was a delight and something that has stuck in my mind, so, it got me thinking and below you can see my latest purchase.

Watch this space to see what follows :)
