Marie Berquist (You are here)
I
have several cards to share with you, starting with the sweet Fiona the Little
Irish Lass, designed by Michelle Perkett.
She is now available in rubber as part of the new Irish Shamrocks set.
I
colored this image with markers and a dove blender and cut it out with a
Spellbinder label die. After adding
Shamrock glitter with a glue pen, I popped it up on the front of the card with
dimensionals. To get more details on
this card, visit the SNS gallery here.
My
next card uses the beautiful bird house image from the new Shabby Chic Birdhouse set, from designer Beccy
Muir. I stamped this image in Peacock
Feathers Distress Ink and colored it with the same ink and a dove blender. I distressed the edges and sponged ink on all
the layers.
The lovely floral flourishes
on both sides of the image are die cut from "Tear-ificTape" on white cardstock
and covered with Priceless Peacock glitter.
I used more of the Peacock Feather ink to color the floral ribbon along
the bottom. This card can be found herein the gallery.
It

Marie, they're both beautiful, but the birdhouse in all it's shabby chic glamor is just gorgeous in all it's sparkly splendor
Two beautiful cards. My favorite is the birdhouse one. I especially love the glittery flourishes you added.
Both cards are great, Marie! I love the frame on the first one and the glittery flowers on the second one.
Fabulous card, love that stamp set and the colour that you used! Great Job!
The green is above and beyond fun! I love your take on the birdhouse. This stamp is anew favorite of mine.
Marie, two wonderful cards! Love the darling irish lass in her striped pinafore, and all the pretty, glittery goodness surrounding her. Nothing compares to that peacock glitter, does it? It's one of my absolute favorites. What you have done with this dainty die cut is amazing! Just beautiful!
Fiona looks like she's about to do the Irish jig! Gorgeous in green! Love all the glittery goodness on the birdhouse card though and the lovely little flowers - so pretty!
You die cut the Tear-ific Tape? I never thought of that. Very pretty.

Both of these are gorgeous. Never thought to use a Dove blender with my DI inks.
