Reverse Nestabilities....

Now I had never heard of this term before, but after watching a video on Stamp TV here it was actually quite logical. I literally stumbled across Stamp TV and Gina K...but I am very happy I did. I have found a couple of things and put them away for things later on.

My cousin's daughter Rhiannon recently turned 15. It is a real milestone as she was not expected to survive even 2 days when she was born. She has many special needs and difficulties, but our lives would be emptier without her. She loves bold colour and texture, so using what I found on Stamp TV and some cupcake fun....I came up with this....

Isn't the paper PERFECT???? It is by Papercraft and called "Sweet Party". I found it in Big W. It went perfectly with Big Bold Birthday. The hardest thing was matching the colours!!

I dry embossed the icing with Devine Swirls and popped it and the heart up on dimensionals to add some fun. To get the frame I used the Nestabilities Scallop Circles on the cupcake paper and then a plain circle on the Summer Sun CS to get the inlaid look. The wee heart on top mimics all the cherries on the DP. I love it...and can't believe I had not discovered this sooner!!! Here tis up close......

To finish it off...I used the same principal with the Curly Label Punch and the Vintage Labels set. A bit of Crystal Effects on the heart....and we were good to go!!

Thanks for sticking with me through this long winded post. Hope you are having a creative weekend. Have fun and thanks for popping by.

Starting off on the Right foot....

In my last post I made a couple of creative promises...so I am upholding one of them here...and that's to give pink a better go than it has previously had on this blog. I went to my (ever increasing) stash of stamps and pulled out Great Friend that I received from Tanya Kitto Christmas 2009. I then went to my case file and found this and this (if it is yours, thanks for the inspiration) as I thought I found it on SCS and now I cannot.

These are my two efforts...

I got to bust out my Square Lattice Embossing folder...and I LOVE IT!!!

And the So Saffron cards are a further testament to my paranoia about not having 2 cards the same!! Opps...just realised I forgot to pop the pearls on.....DOH!!

                                           

Apologies for the inconsistent colour as it has been very VERY bright (and hot) her these past few days. Glare is a real challenfe for my son's small pocket digital camera.

Hope your new year is fun and fabulous!!
