About Me

Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom
I have been crafting since May 2008, when in desperation to find an unusual birthday card for my Mum, I gave up looking in the shops and decided to have a go at making my own. I soon realised that crafting is addictive and I haven't brought a card since. In 2011 I completed my certificate in papercrafting as a result of the work I did as part of the course I started entering challenges on line and in magazines. I applied for design teams and also started making samples for Ooh La La Creations for their shows on Create and Craft. I have now completed my Diploma in professional crafting and most recently been runner up in the Papercrafter of the Year 2013 a competition run by Papercraft essentials magazine, I don't have a particular style I like to use elements from lots of styles and techniques, although I do love all things vintage. In 2014 I started to move more towards scrapbooking to take care of the huge family archive of photographs that were stored in my attic. I have continued cardmaking and Scrapbooking through 2015 and 2016 but have also become interested in off the page projects. I hope to be able focus on these in the future.

Using Lots of Layers at Ooh La La Creations

Hello everyone out there in blog land. Firstly thank you for all the gorgeous entries into our Springtime/Easter challenge to see if you are in the top three pop over to our challenge blog at http://ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.co.uk/. It was a really tough choice due to there being over a hundred entries.

Anyway onto the challenge for the next fortnight which is

Lots of Layers

I have used the 'Love Folder' from the Shawn Jenkins CD click on the image to order your copy 


Here's my card.


I printed off all the backing papers from the folder Then cut and layered sections of them on the base card. I added a border strip of filigree hearts which was snipped in the centre and then stretched to fit the base card the gap is hidden under the various layers of backing papers.

I added a vellum heart and then two toppers one on top of the other. I printed 3 toppers in total as I wanted to decoupage the large butterfly on the topper. I also cut two sentiments which I also layered before adding a bow to make it look as if it is holding the corner of the paper curl paper back and added pearls to finish. 

My neighbours are getting married soon and I will be giving them this card to wish them luck.
