I was always going to do something with this image on one of the Graphic 45 french Counrty papers.

I used a strip of paper to make into a corner and added a seam binding bow tied with bakers twine and a charm to finish.This one may end up framed on my craft room wall!Had a lovely afternoon cardmaking with one of my most favourite people, and now I am ready to sit and watch a little t.v. with a nice cup of tea! til tomorrow….
True romance 5 and 6
For these two cards i used one of the 12 x 12 sheets from the Kaisercraft True romance collection to cover my card bases, and the tags are from a sheet from the same collection – this sheet was great it was full of tags!. On the top card i did some fussy cutting to decorate, and for the card above I just added a big bow and a resin flower which I made – Stampin Up have clay and moulds now, and my sister, mum and i spent an enjoyable Saturday afternoon trying out different ways to colour them. My favourite technique was to sponge with ink, colour with a versamark pen an( thats to make the next step stick) and brush on perfect pearl powders. I love the subtle vintage finish. Til tomorrow….

Very Blingy card!
This is a card I made for our cardmakers club challenge. We had to have a go at making ribbon roses, which I failed miserably!In the end I just covered a die cut circle with glue, piled on the ribbon and crossed my fingers, but oh well we all have our weaknesses and making ribbon flowers is mine! I do like the rest of the card though, and for it I used – Stampin Up Pink Pirouette cardstock,spellbinders D-Lite die – ornamental tags two, a cheery lyn die, and Melissa francis paper – C’est La Vie. I added lace, a bling swirl,large pearl and prima flowers to finish. I have had a good afternoon in the craft room today, and I am heading back there now to put my head down and come up with some Ideas for my August classes. Til tomorrow…..

This is a pretty one! The paper is from the 6″ pad, which along with the collectables are from Kaisercraft Flora Delight.I punched a butterfly, and added some bling and ribbon. I found some letter stickers to spell out Mum. Posts will be a little erratic over the next couple of days – I pick up my new car tomorrow afternoon and I am teaching a class on Thursday night, so that’s a bit busy getting home from work and organising tea before I go – we will see what time I have – Til tomorrow – hopefully,….
Lavender haze and Labels Dies
I had started a new series yesterday, but I have abandoned it for the moment as one of my Ladies requested some ideas for useing her Stampin Up labels dies. i have come up with a few quick cards which i will show over the next couple of days.

This is the last card using Tea for two designer paper ( stampin Up) for just now, and here, I have used very vanilla, basic grey and pink pirouette cardstock, ( embossed the vanilla with Stampin Up lacy Brocade embossing folder) and a couple of dies – spellbinders D-lites medallion four, and stampin up Dress up framelits.The sentiment is from my stampin up vintage verses set, and I added lace, ribbon,liquid pearls and a prima flower to finish.Today I bought up a storm buying lots of new release papers, and tonight I am going to spend some time going through them all, and fussy cutting some of them ready to use.
