Lexie's Congratulations card

Lexie has been taking part in a Dance Festival this weekend. so I made her

a congratulations card in advance;

I was quite right to do so as she came second in her ballet yesterday (out of 12) 

and second in her Modern today (out of 27!)

Didn't she do well!

Here's the card that I made for her.

The colour combo is Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum and Wisteria Wonder.

(Lexie's favourite colour is purple)

The colours don't show up very well on this photo though.

Once again I have used the lovely Petite Petals stampset and I have 

cut the butterflies out from the Subtles DSP stack using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.

The sentiment is from Sweet Essentials,

Purple coloured gemstones from my stash for the flower centres.

All other items are Stampin' Up!

Petite Petals meets grunge - again!

I do think that these two stamp sets really complement each other.

What do you think?

The two stamp sets used were Gorgeous Grunge and Petite Petals.

Colour combo Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe, on White (with a little Gold)

Sentiment from Sweet Essentials.

I have cased this card from Lindsay Tindal

I love this card so much I don't want to part with it - better make another!!

Congratulations Mavis!!

Yesterday I made a congratulations card for one of my down-line, 

Mavis, who reached Bronze 2 in January.

Here it is.....

The colour combination on this is - Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana,

 Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding.

Once again I have used Petite Petals to stamp the flowers and then 

cut them out using the matching punch. 

I used sentiments from 2 stamp sets - Congratulations from Sweet Essentials 

and Celebrate Today from Perfectly Penned.

The background was created using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp-set.

Tiny Basic Pearls used for the flower centres.

So ... once again - Congratulations Mavis!
