Flower Fair

Good morning
I hope you are having a good day so far?
Today's card is very a simple card using the absolutely gorgeous Blackberry Bliss coloured card stock by Stampin'Up!.  I think you will agree that  this lovely rich colour just screams out to be used on white!

Thank you for stopping by today

Scalloped Tag

Good morning
I hope you are having a good day.

Today's project is a very simple tag using the "sponging of inks all over the card technique".  I then stamped the flower with gold embossing powder then coloured it in.  Then added a little butterfly.  I was thrilled with the end result.  I must add this is a bit out of my comfort zone!

Vibrant Pink!

Good morning, hope you all ok and enjoying your day.

Vibrant pink this certainly is!

I love this card so there is no  way that I will ever be sending it out to anyone!  

I tried out the sponging technique again on this one and I even used gold buff it on the chequered stencil.  The flower was gold embossed on velum and shaped.
Absolutely loved this card and like I say, it won't be sent out to anyone!

MIL Birtday Card

Good morning,
Today I am sharing my MIL's birthday card.  Very simple and very quick to make.  I needed to do it quick because to be honest I had forgotten the date and had to make this in a real hurry.
Very minimal I know but I think very elegant.

Swaps for May Play day

Better late than never!   I cannot believe that I have had these ready to share with you since the end of May and here we are in September!
These tags were made using Speciality DSP (has now retired).  This DSP was wonderful for making tags and boxes because it was so thick.  I also loved the clear embossed patterns on it.
I sponged the edges using Chocolate Chip ink giving them a distressed look.
It was then decorated using the Flower Shop stamps and Little Leaves embosslit (also sadly now retired).  Of course there was the customary bling added.

Close up of the bling!

May play day M&T

Morning all
Well no excuses!  I am very slack and totally disorganised (which I am trying to rectify!)
This card, I am ashamed to say, was made and used as the Make & Take for the May playday!!

I waited ages for this lovely punch and stamp set  (Petite Petals) to come back into stock.  I loved making the dimensional flowers and I was very happy with the result.
I think my playmates enjoyed making this card on the day.

Anyway, thank you for stopping by today

Happy Post to Liz "Friends"

Good morning,
Once again this one has been sitting in my photo folder waiting to go on my blog!  I have GOT to start making time to do the blog.  How many of you know the feeling?!

This was my happy post to Liz in May!, I hope she liked it.  I love the colours on this one and I especially love the flower.   I did notice that the "friends" were a bit lop sided, should have got the stamp a ma jig out shouldn't I ?   Oh well I hope Liz didn't notice it.

Thank you for stopping by today
