I was sent some items this week by
craftsyle products to make some quick samples ready for a show on
create and craft this weekend. The range is called vintage florals and consists of four flower themes I was sent two of the lilies and tulip which each have toppers in a range of sizes and selection of sentiments, they are precut toppers which is handy for creating something quick and are or a very good quality card with gold foiling detail. there is also a section of in-keeping and delightful backing papers.
Here's what I created with them.
This first card is a portrait card with a scallop edge on to which I have placed a strip of one of the backing papers edged with a gold coloured paper out of my stash. On top of this is placed one of the toppers medium size with a sentiment on top of that affixed with foam pads to give it some depth. I then cut out one lily head from another topper to place in the bottom corner.
The next card has a pre-shaped base and is made of a pearled card so I haven't covered it up with lots of backing paper. I took one of the smaller tulip toppers and as the sheet has two of this size I cut the front leaf and two flower hears from the second one, I shaped them abit using an embossing tool on a soft surface. I'm very pleased with the definition this gives, I then attached these to the topper with foam pads. A sentiment is placed across the top corner and is it is finished off with three gold pearls.
The last card I made is done on a stepper base.
I have created a stopper for it using textured card and a sentiment which is raised on foam pads. Some textured card is also used on the base of the front section of the card to continue the theme. the main front section has a lager sized topper placed on it with a verse sentiment across one corner the back side panels have had one of the backing papers added to them which pick up on the handwriting theme on the lily topper.
All in all I'm pleased with these three samples and hope to catch a glimpse of them on the show.
