Another card for Liz

Liz's husband Alan, asked if I could make him a card for Liz's birthday 

and this is what I came up with.

Colour combo is Bashful Blue and Whisper White.

I have used 5 different Textured Impressions embossing folders-

2 Delicate Designs, 1Adorning Accents, Fancy Fan and Square Lattice.

The hear was cut with the die from Hearts a flutter.

Embellished with ribbon and basic rhinestones.

Friend

Each year, one of my  golfing friends asks me to make 6 special cards for her special friends.

This is the first one that I have made for her.

I have cased a card that I received for my birthday from my friend Cheryl,

 I just changed the colours around but kept the layout (you can see some of her cards HERE)

This is only the second time that I have used this stamp set - it was one that we received  at

Convention last year - Affection Collection and I really should have used it more.

If you fancy this set, then it is only available until the end of the month

when the Seasonal Autumn/Winter Catalogue finishes!

I have used a colour Combo of Pink Pirouette, Pool Party and Soft Suede

on a Very Vanilla base card.

The flower is made by stamping the flourish from Creative Elements in Soft Suede onto Pink Pirouette card, then punching the set of petals out 6 times,using the Blossom Petals Builder punch.

These are then assembled and stuck together to form the large flower.

The Little Leaves Sizzlets die was used for the leaves, and I stamped the Friend sentiment then punched this out using the Modern Label punch.

I used the Fancy Fan Folder to emboss the Pool Party Coredinations card, then sanded the top

(look out for this in the new Seasonal ) catty.

I used a Vintage brad on top of the 3 stamped Pool Party pennants and voila!

I love this - thanks for the inspiration Cheryl!

The Fancy Fan embossing folder has been used and then distressed,
