All the flowers are handmade by me using hand died silk from Really Reasonable Ribbon called Chocolate Rose Hand-Dyed Silk. I added some Black leaves to my dress form as well.

For my dress I used some vintage looking rose lace, and then added a trim around it.

This Dress Form is another Ive made for a swap Im hosting on the cricut community site, we are to decorate Tim Holtz Dress Forms and add a Matching Chunky Charm to it. For this one here I have not made my chunky charm yet, but will use colors to match.

Coloring on Cryogen White

Hello everyone! Sorry Ive been MIA for awhile I was in California visiting for 1 week and really had an AWESOME time! I'm super excited to be sharing my 1st card made since Ive been back :)
I got to visit with my Grandma,cousins,Aunt's and Uncle's and 1 of my best friends, and got to meet up with Patricia the owner of Paper Temptress, and I had a blast! I took my daughter clothes shopping at a store not online and not in utah. :) we bought her a ton of clothes for her first year in High School she is super excited I think more over the clothes than starting high school.....LOL Oh boy!
Ok on with my card....hehehehehehehe
For my card Today I used the Cryogen White from Paper Temptress, now if you have never used this before for coloring you have to give it a try, I know you will LOVE it! The Copics blend so well with the Cryogen white card stock found Here!
the dp is from imaginisce!
Flower is from Wild Orchid

My ribbons used are from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and Bonnie carries a TON of Beautiful Ribbons

Both Doilies are cut using the Cryogen white, and its beautiful, they are shimmery with sparkle. I dont think my pictures show it very well.
Now for my copic colors I used:

Birthday Wishes

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to all! Today's card was designed for The Scrapping Cottage using the Carnival Releases.
 LOVE this new Release there are sooo many new cottage Cutz and you can view them HERE :)
I really enjoyed designing this card using the new cottage cutz, and love the little Snack Cart!
These are the Cottage Cutz Ive used today:
Boardwalk Carnival Silhouette 4 x 6( I will be heading to Santa Cruz Boardwalk in CA this week) :)

For my Sweet Cart I used some Black Glitz Card Stock on it and the shade is matching design paper to coordinate with the dp I used on my card. I also added 3 tiny little white brads :)

I really had a lot of fun designing this card, using the cottage cutz dies :). My little "For You" tag came from the Popcorn 4 x 4 cottage cutz, its the oval that was on the popcorn, well I thought it would make a perfect tag for my card.
Here are pictures of the Cottage Cutz Die Cuts Ive used today :) They should all be linked to The Scrapping Cottage

For my Bella leaves die cut I used the dark green copic to airbrush it, while I left the diecut still attached to the green card stock after running it through my machine. that way it gives you an outline.
