Let's Take a Selfie

#kerriegurney 

Hi it's Kerrie and it's my day on the Couture Creations Blog today
My daughter Taylah is queen of the selfies and when her little second cousin Willow came to visit what does she but teach little Willow how to take selfies ...this one was my favourite

 To start off I created some masks using the Moulin Rouge Ornamental Lace Die and Acetate

To die cut acetate I highly recommend using the Metal Adapter Plate

I die cut 3 x Moulin Rouge in acetate and cut one in half

I then placed all the masks on a piece of white cardstock

and sprayed with a shimmery mist.

remove the masks and you are left with a lovely background

I  used the NEW Couture Creations  Craft Mat under my work 

and as you can see the mist beads on the mat, I wiped it clean using a piece of paper towel. It is so easy to clean up after yourself with one of these mats. They are also heat resistant so great when working with a heat tool too.

I embossed the patterned paper to add some texture to my page, I just love this Retro Flower Embossing Folder

I also ran a metal frame through the embossing folder

and then sanded it back to reveal the silver metal

 I die cut 1 x Chandeliers border die from green patterned paper and 1 x Simplicity border die from silver Glittersilk cardstock, this i cut in half and only used a portion of it tucked under my photo mat.

I die cut 2 x Aurora Vine from Silver Glittersilk  cardstock and cut them in half using the top halves tucked in under the main flowers. Sprinkle a few pearls

I die cut 1 x Splendour ornamental lace die from white cardstock and cut it in half and tucked it under my photo

I coloured the chipboard title, trim and the flowers using the same mist as my background.

NEW Imaginisce Monster Mash

I created the following layouts, card and candy holders using the new Imaginisce  Monster Mash Collection and I am bringing Shrink Plastic back ....look how cute the stamps are when stamped on shrink plastic and then shrunk down (they are on both layouts)

for the candy holders I used toilet roll holders, covered them with patterned paper sewed one end, added a crepe paper fringe, punched spiderweb and popped on an embellishment. ...perfect for trick or treaters

(sorry the photos are not great ...bad lighting and as they are FT work I don't have them to rephotograph)

World Card Making Day 2011

Here are the cards i made on WCMD ...they are all very quick and easy as i needed to get some cards in my stash and as most of these will go to friends of my children i wanted them not too fancy.
I have left them fairly plain with space to add on a message or age so that they can be  personalised  for the person receiving the card. Ashleigh wanted some male cards but that was just boring so I only made one "male" card ☺

I have used Kaisercraft 6x6 paper pads for all the cards.
