Floral Sympathy Card

Hello lovely peeps, and welcome to my two new followers.

This was a hard card to make because I wanted it to be perfect (which of course it isn't). One of my work colleagues lost her 14 year old daughter and everyone at work is heartbroken for her family.  This is the card I made for us all to sign.

Love Petals for LOTV

Hello lovely peeps

Today's card is using 'Love Petals' from Lili of the Valley, made for my sister's anniversary.

I stamped the image onto watercolour card with Black Archival ink and then coloured it in with Tim Holtz Distress Markers:-
Bundled Sage, Vintage Photo, Fired Brick,
Hickory Smoke, Pumice Stone

For the base I layered up a 6x6 scalloped card with papers from 'The Promise' and 'Rose Garden' 8x8 pads by First Edition/Trimcraft, some red satin-edged organza ribbon and some cheesecloth.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts/The Ribbon Girl and the enamel dots are by Ranger.

Seeing Red for Crafting By Designs

Hello lovely peeps.
Firstly, I would like to give a warm welcome to all my new followers, I'm delighted to have you all.
I will do the draw for my blog candy later on (assuming I can get Mr Random to work, lol) .

And now....

I'm thrilled to say that I am appearing as a Guest Designer at Crafting By Designs this week. Why don't you pop on over and join in the fun? The theme is 'Seeing Red'  

 I've used papers from 'The Promise' 8x8 pad by First Edition/Trimcraft and roughened the edges with my scissors (sorry, I'm still not bored of doing this!)

The stamp is one of the Gorjuss Girls - 'I Gave You My Heart'

I coloured her in before Christmas and I don't know what I did with the list of Graph'It colours I used. I think the hair colours were 3250/70/80/90 and the dress colours were 5210/20/40/45
