Best of flowers …..

Morning Dear Reader, BBC Weather App tells me that it will be sunny all day here so i plan to empty my laundry basket and get it all smelling fresh on the line, i also need to get ready for a night with the Girls Brigade i will be helping them make Mother’s Day cards.

Here is a card that could easily be used as a Mother’s Day card or really any occasion if you just switch out the sentiment. 

This card uses one of the flowers from the Best of Flowers set i stamped it by eye {you could use a stamp-a-ma-jig} to create a monochrome background with staz on. Then i simply mounted it on a black card blank and with a pop of Melon Mambo for the sentiment banner it was done. A nice quick card, which i think is quite effective. What do you think?

Right on with that washing, have a good day.

Until next time

Telford Projects and Swaps. . . .

Hello Dear Reader; i do hope that you are well on this sunny Sunday? Unfortunately i have been very unwell lately as has my youngest H; which meant that posting on my blog fell to the bottom of my to do list.  In light of the fact that my ill health is likely to last a few weeks i shall be scheduling some posts to share with you what i am working on or what i have been working on but have not shown you yet. I will be posting these on a Sunday for the time being; i hope that you understand.  I just want to say a huge thank you to all that read my blog and comment they mean so much and i really love to hear the feedback on my projects and i hope that you will continue to bear with me through this bumpy patch.

Now in May i went to the Stampin’ Up! Training day in Telford; and of course there was swaps and little gifts that had to be made;

 

The long thin book mark was my general swap for the day; then there is my name tag; the candle that i made for Sue {I've already shown you} the card was for my project for the Team Shoebox Swap; and the gift box had some lovely little toiletries in for my travelling companions Sue and my Upline Bekka.

All were made using the Summer Silhouettes stamp set and the colour combination is Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Pool Party and Midnight Muse.

Stippled Blossoms

Afternoon Dear Reader; how's the weather where you are?  We have a reasonable amount of snow at the moment i really wish would go as i am really over winter i am bored of wearing tons of layers and i want to get my washing out on the line and smelling of fresh air rather than tumble dryer sheets!! I know easily pleased eh? lol But the cold weather does have advantages …. time to craft! As if we need an excuse!! lol

So on to today’s project; 

It is an Easter card using the lovely Stippled Blossoms stamp set which is just the most beautiful flower.  Its a 2-step stamp set meaning that there is a stamp for the main block of the back ground, which is best stamped in a lighter colour and then another stamp to add the detail in in a darker colour.  I hand cut the flowers and leaves once i had stamped them before arranging on a whisper white panel that was then mounted on a Lucky Limeade card blank.  I think that this could easily be adapted for any occasion just by changing the sentiment.

I shall be back soon with more Easter Projects
