Blooming With Happiness Sweetie-Pie!

My daughter, Charlotte, was invited to yet another Birthday Party for a little girl from school (also named Charlotte!). So last night I 'whipped' up this little number.
I'm happy with how it turned out. I had to stop 'tizzing' and worried I went a bit too far when I found myself standing outside in the dark spraying the background of this card with Smooth Spritz!
I stamped the little heart from Simply Said in silver along the bottom of the inside piece of Whipser White.stamps: blooming with happiness, en francais, happy moments, always
cardstock: pretty in pink, some silvery textured cardstock I had in my supplies, whisper white
ink: silver, basic black, versamark
dazzling diamonds, basic rhinestones, spiral border punch, wooden #5 from my supplies

The next few photos are of Charlotte just before we left for the party.I attempted to curl her hair for the 1st time today using my hair straightener. She looked so darn pretty and grown up and yes, I had one of those mother-moments where I wondered where on Earth my little baby has gone!And here is the little princess having a little tantrum cos it was too sunny for her little eyes!

She's a little beauty tho - love her to bits!
Thanks for popping by for a little lookey!

Another Crack At Vintage!

Another crack at Vintage! Now I do have to say, this card looks alot better in real life (I think anyway!)....it looks a little washed out here. (The colour of the rose below is a little more accurate).

You can find my tutorial on how I made this rose here!

Alice's Engagement Card

This card is long over-due. My friends little sister got engaged a while ago and I've only just got around to making her a card.
I'm not happy with my photography. Just looks bleak and dreary. I can't seem to figure out how to get it right. I seem to get better lighting OUT of my photography-tent. Grr...

This is my "Danielle" bow. It's hard to show it in the photo being black and all. Danielle does the most amazing bows.

I coated the edges of this rose (after being made) with Crystal Effects. If gave it a beautiful gloss and also made it alot more stronger and firmer.

I couldn't resist "tizzing" and spritzed it with black. Not sure of this card really......not sure it all "works". What do YOU think? Honestly?
