Grateful Bunch meets Rose Wonder

For Someone Special

I am still trying to use DSP and ribbon as I have a cupboard full and don't usually tend to go for it, but one of my NEW YEAR resolutions was to try, so here goes.  It's handy to have old DSP as a lot of the main colours are not included in up to date DSP, they tend to be the new colours.
This card was made for someone I've known now for a few years and really enjoy being with so wanted a nice bright happy card, as she brightens my life up when I see her.

The materials used are:

Card Stock: pear pizzazz, pool party, whisper white

Card Base: NSU

DSP: frosty white (retired), sycamore street (retired)

Ink: pool party, rich razzleberry, tangerine tango, versa mark

Stamp Sets: grateful bunch, rose wonder

Embossing Powder: pool party (retired)

Punches: blossom bunch

Framelits: secret garden (retired)

Thinlits: rose garden

Ribbon: ruffled (retired)

Accessories: basic pearls

Will be back again soon with more cards

Rose Wonder meets Swirly Bird

Summer Birthdays Are Here

It was a good friend's birthday yesterday which gave us an excuse to go out and have lunch which was lovely. We went to the local garden centre chatted and wandered round looking at everything before heading home. 

We were supposed to do it on Friday but I was waylaid by my husband and ended up spending Friday in Shrewsbury where we met up with friends of ours from Wales, it's a beautiful place, we went for a walk along the river and a dip into town for the shops (oops spent too much).  It was like being on holiday relaxed and carefree with the sun shining down on us all day.

The materials used are:

Ink: Crumb Cake, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum

Card stock: Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum, Whisper White

Stamps: Rose Wonder, Swirly Bird

Embossing folders: Brick Wall, Woodgrain

Thinlits: Rose Garden, Swirly Scribbles

DSP: 16-18 In Colors

Accessories: Basic Pearls, Silver Metallic Thread

If you are wondering where I used the woodgrain folder, I embossed the die cut swirls to give them a bit more dimension.

Will be back again soon with more cards
