C.C. Designs April Review

Morning all!

Hey! So today is review day for C.C. Designs and for my project today i've used the beautiful C.C. Designs Swiss Pixie Watermelon Abigail 

She really is a darlin to colour and fast becoming one of my many favourites of the Swiss Pixie Collection, ah whom I kidding, i love em all!!! how can ya not?!

My card today is pretty CAS for me, i didn't want to fill it up too much because i love how i've coloured her! 

I used my silhouette cameo to out the watermelon die cut, but did you know C.C.Designs also do a matching Cutting die! ohhh i think i'm going to need that!

I've used a mix of My minds eye papers and cosmo cricket ribbon and a few star buttons along with a jillibean soup label to finish off my card... which is here....

Morning all!

Hey! So today is review day for C.C. Designs and for my project today I'm using one of the newest Stamps from C.C. Designs called ''fluffy bear'' and what a cute fluffy bear at that i may add! 

I used my silhouette cameo to cut a circle in my card and layer/matt the cardstock and DSP around it, coupled together with this beautiful stamp coloured with Tim holtz Distress inks i used acetate to ''box'' my image and fill with glitter (which doesn't show great on photo) grr! and used lots of embellishments and an over sized bow to finish!
