How is your week going? Today there will be no invigilating for me as I am having lunch out with a lovely group of people that I used to work with. We go to a restaurant at a local college where the students wait on you and others cook the food. I must say that the food is amazing and the price is fantastic.
When I made my splat card (which you can see here) I had lots of flowers left over. Here is was I decided to make.
I saw a challenge somewhere to use a doily I am too late to join that challenge but it did remind me that I have lots of doilies in my stash. The patterned paper in the background is left over from our daughter's wedding.
The cornflowers cut with the Cornflower die from the John Next Door range are very pretty. It you lay a 2.5 inch strip across the middle of the die you get two small flowers and all the centres. As all the dies are on one plate there is no chance of loosing the small dies. I used the Star Flower Leaves dies to cut the leaves. This design is a great way to use up Snippets of card and paper.
The banner die and the thank you both came with the Crafter's Companion Advent calendar.
I did enjoy making this card. It is so bright and cheerful. I am taking place at the Hampshire Studios event again this summer and I am already thinking of what I can make for it. This year I will have much more time to plan.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Happy Crafting

ReplyDeleteLove the profusion of colour and the gorgeous flowers on the doily background. When my daughter was at Catering college they had the same arrangement where they had a them waiting and cooking the food in the restaurant. It was good practice for them and I think it went towards their practical exam marks too. Hugs Mrs A.
