Daisy Delight

This is an easy card to make and didn't take long to do. Most of what I've used is in the current annual catalogue.

I just loved the vellum daisy with the leaf behind it from the flourish thinlit set. I also thought cutting across background at an angle made a nice change and finishing it off with some linen thread.

The materials used are:

Card stock: Powder Pink, Whisper White, Vellum,Wild Wasabi

Ink: Berry Burst, Powder Pink

DSP: In Color 17/9

Stamp sets: Avant Garden (r), Daisy Delight

Embossing folders: Petal Burst

Framelits: Layering Ovals, Stitched Shapes

Thinlits: Flourish

Punches: Daisy

Ribbon: Taffeta Pink Pirouette (r)

Accessories: Linen Thread

Will be back again soon with more cards

Birthday Blooms

Soft and Beautiful

I enjoyed making this card, it was so simple and came together quickly. Considering when I came into the craft room I had no idea what I was going to do.

I'm still trying to use up some of my retired goodies and thought the doily could be quite easily replaced with the current doilies in this years catalogue.  There a loads of happy birthday stamps but I just love this one so keep going back to it.

The flourish thinlits are fantastic,I just love the open leaf effect.  And the triple banner punch is great if you are not good at fishtailing (which I'm not).  

Hope you like this card and it's a good one for beginners to start with as there is plenty to do but none of it is hard.

The materials used are:

Card stock: Very Vanilla

Ink: Sweet Sugarplum

DSP: In color stack

Stamp sets: Bloomin’ Love, Birthday Blooms, Create A Cupcake (retired)

Punches: Triple Banner

Framelits: Bunch Of Banners

Thinlits: Bloomin’ Heart, Flourish

Accessories: Delicate White Doilies (retired), Rhinestones, Scoreboard

Will be back again soon with more cards

Sunshine Wishes meets a little Flourish

Sunshine Wishes with a Flourish

I enjoyed making this card, tried some block watercoloring and thought it went quite well, teamed this up with the Sunshine Wishes thinlits and a bit of playful backgrounds, then finished with the Happy Birthday.  Felt it needed a little more so gave it a bit of a background using the Flourish thinlits and DSP. Just hope my Aunt liked it.

I'm keeping out of the way at the moment as there are workmen in and I no longer have a kitchen, yippee no cooking for at least 2 weeks, heaven!!!
