A bit of flower arranging!

Hey everyone.  Here with a card I have had in my head ever since Steph showed us the Love Birds stamps and dies released this month from Clearly Besotted.  I bought the Fresh Cut Florals from Wplus9 a few months ago but with Christmas and all that jazz – this is the first chance I’ve had to ink them up!  I die cut and stamped a load of flowers and leaves the other day and last night decided to get busy with a bit of flower arranging!  I adore the little birdcage from CBS so I die cut it in white and then made a “bed” of blooms for it to nestle into.  I am also slightly obsessed with the Falling Hearts die from Simon Says Stamp so used it again as a back drop created with embossing paste – you can’t see the dimension in the photo but it looks quite effective IRL!

Once again, I am able to enter the Wednesday Challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp blog as this time they are asking us to “Emboss It”.

Well hello again!  Did I imagine it or did Christmas just whizz past in a blink of an eye?!  So sad that it’s all over for another year but looking forward to 2014 – hope it’s a good one for everyone.

Today marks the start of the January Release sneak peaks over at Clearly Besotted.  Steph a fabulous set of stamps designs and dies this month which will be available on 6th January at 10pm.

Birthday Girl SpotsThis set features 2 of the new sets being released – In The Frame and Geometric Style II.  More great sentiments and font combinations – LOVE the polka dot frame especially!!!
