Happy Valentine's Day - True Love collection

Hi there everyone, hope you had a wonderful day yesterday:)
thanks for stopping by here today.

On the kaisercraft blog today I am sharing a card I created
using the new paper collection along with some others from the Design Team,
creating a Valentine's Day card with the 

"TRUE LOVE" collection,

these are perfect papers for all your Valentine's Day cards and projects.

Here is my take on the challenge to create a card using the TRUE LOVE 6.5 " square paper pad and clear stamps that go with the collection.

It is a Double Heart Easel card
that can be easily folded down to be put into an envelope and give to your Sweet Heart.







all the material list is on the Kaisercraft Blog
thanks for looking :)

and starting creating you special card for the 14th February, only two weeks till go :)

Bye for now ……   Cheers Adriana  XX

Dream Canvas - Couture Creations Petite Doilies Dies

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by here today,
I am sure after seeing all the sneak peeks of all the many new dies and papers
that Couture Creations are releasing in 2016, it is going to be a wonderful year of creating and inspiration.

We have to wait for the new papers to be release, so for today, I have a special project that I have created using the 
Couture Creations Perfectly Petite Doilies Die

If you know me well enough, I have always daubed in paints and I do like to draw and craft.
After doing a short course online with the talented "Kelly-Rae Roberts"
I have created another one of her famous styled ladies portrait, adding
some of the Couture Creations Perfectly Petite Doilies Die
 for my textured background.


"DREAM"  canvas



The mini Doily used for the background is called "Lullabies"… how appropriate that I later called the canvas and stamped the words "DREAM"
After I created my lady I decorated her dress with stencilled the Lullabies Doily with some vintage ink pad. and then place of the mini doily die in the centre of her dress.





Cutting some of the dies in half and colouring them in with inks, I have glued these down to the background of the canvas. They look like Dreamcatchers a bit, don't you think? but without the feathers :)
I also added some Gemstones Vintage Gold in her hair.







I adhered three flowers on the top left hand corner, these flowers were white and I just sprayed them with a little spray mists.
