Oh happy day!

I decided to go a bit "girly" today, which is unusual for me!! I wanted to do something feminine with the paper roses I created and what better colours for this than Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo. I embossed the background with the fan embossing folder from Stampin Up and used the bird punch to create leaves for my pretty rose. But disaster!!! A stray bit of ink crept onto the page and the whole thing nearly found its way into the bin. But then I remembered reading, that there is no such thing as a mistake, just "an embellishment opportunity"! With this in mind out came the Beautiful Wings Embosslet folder and a little butterfly fluttered onto the card. hiding my disappointment!!!. Hope you like it x

The Queen of hearts

If you have been following my blog recently you will realise that i have a passion for simplicty, texture,shape and shadows.With this in mind i used the hearts framelets to cut four hearts into very Vanilla cardstock. I rounded the corners and then backed it with dimensionals onto a piece of Early Expresso card stock that i had embossed using the Square Lattice Folder. I then finshed the card with a Designer Builder brad.

Paws for thought

I cased this lovely card from the very talented Mary Fish www.stampinpretty.com. I love the simplicity of this card and the limited colours. The card relies on the use of shadow and space. Hope you like it as much as I do x
