And D is for Daughter

Well I haven't got a daughter - just a son,

 but Emma is my God-daughter so that's near enough for me!

Her birthday was Valentine's Day and here's the card I made for her.

The colour combo is a very simple (but effective don't you agree?)

Sahara Sand and White.

Emma is stamped using the Epic Alphabet stamp set

and the sentiment "Sending Wishes your way" is from Butterfly Basics.

The flowers and leaves are from Painted Petals

The "Just because" is from a retired set, which I find really useful for many cards.

Thin strips of paper from Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper

provides the finishing touches to this card.

D is for Diamonds...

Yes D is for Diamonds but not the sparkling kind!

Remember  I made a diamond shaped stencil using the triangle punch last year,

well I decided to resurrect it and made this card using it.

The colours used were Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip and Early Espresso

sponged through the stencil onto Very Vanilla Card.

The star trails are from the Be the Star stamp set

and the letters are from the Epic Alphabet stamp set.

Think this could be a useful all occasion card.
