Playing around

Been doing a bit of playing around today!
(I was supposed to be making 44 swaps ready for our All Day Training event
that's just two weeks away!) 
Still haven't decided what I am doing for these.
Here's what I made today.


I am a little unsure about this card.  I set off distressing the embossed areas
of the card, then I changed my mind. Hence the top half only is distressed!!
The colour combo is Pool Party, Island Indigo and Very Vanilla
I played around with a teeny set of stamps that you will be able to see more of in the 
Spring/Summer Seasonal Catalogue - I love these little leaves!.
I matched up a new S-A-B punch and stamp-set with the Curly Label Punch
and added some S-A-B ribbon.
Two basic pearls finish it off.
As I said, I am not sure about this card - let me know what you think.

  4. Those little leaves are gorgeous. Bet they'll prove invaluable. It's a great card...having the top half embossed adds interest.

  9. IMHO, I would add a little of the brown colour to the edges of the blue punched to bring it all together. It is a very nice card however :)
