I saved the best for last

Hi All, this is the 3rd, and I think my favorite card I made so far with one of the Perfect Tears rulers, I used a water brush dipped in Tim Holtz Distress ink along the side of the ruler then I just tore it off.    I used the left edge on the first ruler in the set below.  I also used my Perfect Layers Square Ruler, to get the precise layering of solid color papers (Stampin Up) behind the torn images.  The gorgeous papers are from the Gecko Galz Shabby Chic Nature collection collage sheet, the image is from one of my favorite sets  Gecko Galz Beautiful Bookmarks.  Don't forget Gecko Galz Splish Splash Summer giveaway, check it out here
Here are the Perfect Tears rulers, look at all the different edges they have. These are really fun to work with and easy to use.  If you are interested in purchasing the rulers please use my coupon code Bove5% for a 5% discount on your order.
 Well that's it for today, thanks for stopping byI hope you are all keeping cool and dry enjoying the summer weather.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Summer Blooms


Hi All, my daughter went back to Kentucky, (boo hoo) we had a nice visit, and we made 50 bridal shower invitations for her friend while she was here.  
Sorry I fell behind visiting you, but I will catch up on your blogs later today.  
I made this card using my Perfect Layers Rulers, to get the precise layering of papers along with one of the Perfect Tears rulers, this time using the Refillable Water Pen.   It was so was so easy to make, I just dragged the water pen along the edge of the ruler and tore off the strips of paper. To complete the look I also tore the envelope liner inside and the new outside envelope sealer too.  The sweet print is from the Gecko Galz Children's Hour collage sheets.  Gecko Galz is offering a free item with any order this month, this week's offering is a beautiful paper set.  I trimmed the edges of the image and the yellow card stock behind the image with some raspberry ink, then I ran a border of yellow Stickles around the floral layer.  The floral paper was free from Gecko Galz and the card stock is Stampin Up.  The rhinestones are from Pizzazz Aplenty.  If you are interested in the rulers follow my links and use coupon code Bove5% for a 5% discount on your order.
Well, that's it for today, thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Queen Ellaire

 
I made this card with Scrolls Work #4077 Queen Ellaire for the Gothic Arches challenge calling for the use of a Queen.  The card measures 4.5 x 6.25, the Gothic Arch was a free image from Just Something I Made, it is called JSIM Crest Monogram Frames 8.  I love the stained glass look it has.   It is hard to see in the photo's but there are 3 tiny 2mm cranberry rhinestones in her crown and on her dress.  I also put a few 2 &3mm jewels in her treasure box.  The rhinestones were some of the free items Judy of Pizzazz Aplenty sent with my order.  I must admit, I never would have bought stones that tiny, but now that I've used them like this I know I will want more!  The glittered flourish was cut on my Cricut with the SCAL software from Penny Duncan's SVG Cut file collection.  The treasure box is a jewelery finding from Blue Moon Madame Delphine's collection jewelery pieces.  And I almost forgot, I used gold Stickles for the crown and scepter.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane
