Busy flower arranging!

Evening all!  I’ve been having a jolly old time playing with my Flower Arrangement stamps and dies from Clearly Besotted.  This is such a great set and thought it would make for a perfect Mother’s Day card.  Have to say – that polka dot vase is my favourite – it would go lovely in my kitchen!!!

{Happy Mother’s Day}

Off to bed now – I think I need a holiday to get over the holiday we just had – fresh air is so tiring!!

Fun with fonts!


Our latest challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey is aptly named “Fontabulous”!  What we want to see this time is a creation with more than one font!  Either combine sentiments from different sets (or from within one set as I did here with Mega Mixed Messages) or use one of PTI’s many stamps that feature a combination of fonts.

 
{Welcome Baby}
Stamps: Mega Mixed Messages, Round and Round.
Ink: Sweet Blush, Raspberry Fizz
Card: Stampers Select White, Raspberry Fizz, RF patterned paper pack.
Others: Sweet Blush twill ribbon, raspberry fizz button, Spellbinders heart nestibilities.

Well, we’re still enjoying a great little break for half term up at Centerparcs in the Lakes.  Its been sooo chilly (even had snow today) but it’s been fabulous as always.  Don’t really want to go home tomorrow but we have to back to school/work sometime I suppose!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Glitter again!!

Hiya – just a quick post to share a card I made using these gorgeous stamps and dies from Clearly Besotted : Butterfly Wishes and Leafy Accents .  Whilst participating in the Clean and Simple Cardmaking classes I came to discover an old love – glitter!  I say it’s an old love – I have always loved sparkly stuff – but the fly-away-get-stuck-in-your-eyelashes-and-every-where-else-you-can-mention glitter is not something I reach for that often!  With the butterflies on this card I die cut and stamped them then swiped the die cuts in Versamark.  I then coated them in Sticky Stuff embossing powder and finally covered them in Denami crystal glitter.  I wanted a more encapsulated look though so covered them completely in a thick layer of Glossy Accents – that glitter’s goin’ nowhere baby!!
