Sent with Love

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you had a good weekend and are ready to face the week ahead. This one will be a bit of a busy one for me. I will be helping with two Felting Workshops. Hopefully I will be making a purse at one of them. We visited the Royal Berkshire County Show at the Newbury Showground on Saturday. It was a good day the weather helped and there was so much to see and do. We even started our Christmas shopping. On Sunday we visited my parents who a constant source of worry. 

Last week I made a wedding card using these flowers and these colours. I had a lot of flowers  left over so I decided to made another card using them.  


As you know I have been struggling to craft. With John Next Door's Gerbera flower die you can make so many flowers so quickly in six different sizes. On the wedding card I used the smaller flowers. When the wedding is past I will share that card with you. The colours I used here are the colours of the wedding. I do think they go together very well. The background was created with one of the 3D embossing folders from Crafter's Companion. To bring out the detail I used Distress Oxide. 


This sentiment comes with the Small Butterfly die set from John Next Door. I think it is a lovely sentiment and I will be using it a lot. 


Here you can see the detail of the flowers I shaped them and added a pearl to each of the centres. The leaves were cut with the Star Flower Leaves die set from John Next Door. 


I think the butterflies made with these dies are really pretty. 


I was very pleased with how this card came out. I am not quite sure who I am going to send it to yet. I don't think it will stay in my stash for long. 

Have a great week. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Happy Crafting

Hi Jackie,
what a very stunning card and such a very lovely design too.
Love the colours used they look so luxurious in that pearl shade and then the touch of silver or grey not sure which.
Yes you are right that sentiment is very lovely and so useful.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
