Prima Something blue number 1
Recently i bought some of the new Prima Something blue collection. I bought the A4 paper pad and a pack of atc sized cards – I think there were 36 or 48 cards – ( I will check before next blog post and let you know) and these cards had all sorts of images on them. This is the first card I made using them.I did some layering, sponged the edges with tea dye distress ink and rounded my corners. I added some lace and ribbon and liquid pearls, and a vintage style card done! til tomorrow….

fairy card,little girl card.
A couple of weeks ago when I was on a mission to tidy up my paper collection I found some sheets that I had bought while on a trip to Robe, at a little shop on the way there.I can’t tell you the name of the papers, as I can’t recall, but these are some of the cards I made with it. I used stampin up cardstock and sentiment stamps, a scalloped circle die, and some ribbon as well as a little bit of fussy cutting. I like the combination of yellow and pink on the bottom cards! Today in the craft room, I have gone back to my graphic 45 botanical tea paper and have been making a few more Mothers day cards to take around to the school this week. Til tomorrow….
