Pins & Pearls by Tina

Hi Everyone,
Sandy here. Sorry I'm slightly late today with Tina's post. It got busy after Pion's arrival.
Yup that's right; in case you haven't seen it yet "A Day in May" arrived yesterday and is available at the store!!! There's also a GIVEAWAY of the complete 12x12 collection that you'll not want to miss out on HERE.

For today though Tina has used Maja Design.
Here's her card with the sheet "1935" from the Vintage Summer Basics Collection:
Just to recap, the theme for this week is "Pins and Pearls", and as you can see Tina managed to fit in quite a few of those, including the stunning pearl lace "Princess Grace".

Here's a close up of the flower display:

Thanks for stopping by!

The One and Only

Morning Everyone,

The theme for this week for us LLC Girls is "Pins and Pearls".  Have you seen all the gorgeous vintage pearl pins Sandy has got in the store, believe me they are gorgeous, I have used two types on my card, crown spheres and crown teardrop.  I have used a LOTV image and coloured with Distress Markers.  I have added 3mm pearl string around the image and it is layered onto a Noor Design Oval frame, aren't they cute.


I have used MayaDesign Vintage Basics II, a firm favourite of mine and also Pion's Flower Frames Rosa.  The 6x6 frame pages are perfect for the inside of cards.


I have used  Lace, J'Adore and the gorgeous pink Moulin Rouge and finsihed off with the shabby pearl rose organza trim. 

I have also used a metal ornament 2 and added a pearl to the centre.


The resin has been out again, lol, love that too.  Top corner is  Melissa Frances Scroll Applique and on the flower arrangement I have used a Melissa Frances Dorchester keyhole.


The butterfly is cut from the MayaDesign  Studio of Memories cut out sheet and I have added a pen nib to the centre.  Just down from this you can see the Love Heart paperclip by MayaRoad.  I have added white gesso around the edges of the papers and dabbed here and there on the embellishments.




Have a good week.
