Bees & Butterflies Cards by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the first of my DT projects for April. 
  I have created a set cards for my first share.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Mini Decorative Frame Set 8

*Mini Decorative Frame Set 7

*Flourish 2

*Mini Lattice Bits

I created each of my card bases using the gorgeous Paper Rose "Bees & Butterflies" Paper Collection. 

For these cards I kept all the chippie pieces raw as I think it suited the colours in the papers perfectly.  

To construct each of the cards I added either a Mini Decorative Frame (including the centre piece) 7 or 8 chippie to each.  I then embellished them with paper blooms. I tucked in Foliage chippies amongst the blooms on two of the cards and the other two cards I tucked in Mini Lattice Bits chippies pieces.

See each card below.

That's all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Bees & Butterflies Cards. 
 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

Memories Bloom in Every Snapshot by Tania Ridgwell

  Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the second of my DT projects for March. 
  I have created a layout for my second share.

"Memories Bloom in Every Snapshot"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Happy Daisy Set

*Photo Adornment - Flourish Set 4

*2025's

I have used the beautiful 49 & Market 'Cottage Life' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I first painted all the chippie pieces with a couple of coats of gesso.
  I then mixed some Laidback Lilac Dylusions with more gesso to tone down the
 colour and then painted all the chippies pieces again.  

From the 49 & Market Dragonfly Revolution Layered Die Cut Embellishments I used the round Leaf Wreath to frame my photo.  Once I was happy with the placement of these I added the Photo Adornment - Flourish chippies.  I then embellished around my photo with lots of paper blooms and then tucked in the Happy Daisy chippies. 
 To finish off my page I added a 2025 chippie and the Memories Bloom in Every Snapshot Title chippie.
