Each of Us Has a Song - Linda Lucas - Guest Designer

Hi, it is Linda here and I am excited to be back for my second post as the March Guest Designer for Quietfire Design - I love the sentiment I have used on today's card - my beautiful Nana insisted that everyone could sing - and she is right, but some voices have a rougher passage out! Just makes me smile!

The sets I have used are: 

Crows, set of 9 stamps

and 

Each of Us Has a Song

The Crows, set of 9 stamps set has so much potential.  I started by lightly stamping the music sheet onto the Fleur De Elegance die, then using the Die as a Stencil and sponging the inside of the Die with Golden Glitz and a sponge dauber.  The bird has also been stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black, then cut out by hand/fussy cut and popped up onto 3D Foam Squares.

The sentiment has been stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut out using the Classic Oval Die, the inside of the Die has been sponged using Delicata in Glistening Gold.  This has then been layered onto a Fleur De Elegance in white, using Crafty Foam Tape for dimension, followed by Labels Forty Decorative Accents, also popped up onto Crafty Foam Tape.  The completed layers have been adhered to the card base using double sided tape.

 

Finishing off by adding Mulberry Paper Roses and Want2Scrap Bling

Love Lives Here - Guest Designer Linda Lucas

Hi, it is Linda here and I am so excited to have been invited to be a Guest Designer for Quietfire Design - I have always loved these beautiful sentiments - and the calligraphy makes them even more special.  I have to say it was nearly impossible to choose the ones I was going to use - they are all fabulous!

I did finally manage to choose, and for my card today I have chosen the Love Lives Here sentiment.  It works so beautifully with the Painted Lady Die from Spellbinders.  I have used the stamp to create a house sign, almost wreath like - it is what we would all like for our homes....

The sentiment has been stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut out using the Standard Circle Die, the inside of the Die has been sponged using Danube Blue Ink.  This has then been layered onto a larger circle in blue, using Crafty Foam Tape for dimension.

Flowers are the perfect embellishment, framing the sentiment, along with a double Seam Binding bow.  I love the way that such a small sentiment can say so much!
