Beautiful Blooms to send you on your way...

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Well the working week is well and truly under way. I had such a fun filled crafty weekend it was hard to go back to work and settle back into routine. It is nice to have good things to look back on and to look forward to.

We are getting near the end of term and a few people are leaving. This means there are a few leaving cards to make. In fact I shared one last week. The one I am sharing today is an A4 version. There is lots of room for signing inside.

It might not look it but is definitley A4. The best thing is I downloaded a cutting file from the internet put it on my ScanNcut and I had a beautiful trellis for the background. I cut two and cut of a side from each and overlapped them to cover the whole card. I stuck the trellis to a patterned vellum. 

The flowers were cut from white pearlised paper with my Tattered Floral Bigz dies. They were coloured with Distress ink and shaped with a ball tool. The centres were cut with a small Spellbinders die that came from another flower set. I used CS Pearl PVA in the centre of the flowers. The green flourishes were made with a Tonic die. 

The sentiment was cut with  Signature die.

I used so many snippets making this card I would like to enter it for Pixie's Snippets Playground weeks 181 / 182.

I would also like to enter this for challenge 26 at Crafting Musketeers - Shades of Summer. 

Happy Crafting

Scribble and Scrap Challenge 47 - Always Anything Goes

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I had a fantastic time at the workshop yesterday. I really enjoyed it, John Lockwood  is so talented. I must admit that I messed up two of the three projects but I am going to have a try at home to see if I can do better. I was talking too much I did meet some lovely people.

This is a rather sad post. Today see the start of the last challenge at the Scribble and Scrap Challenge Blog. I have enjoyed being on the Design Team I have met some wonderful people but now it is time to move on. There will still be a prize for this challenge so why not join in one last time. The theme is always "Anything Goes".

I made this 8" x 8" card for a commission. The brief I was given was to make it girly. As you know from yesterday's post my favourite colour is mauve so that is the colour I chose to use.  The background I made with a Sue Wilson Striplet die called Eternal Rings to which I added CS white pearl PVA glue. This I left to dry for a long time. 

I made the the flower with Sue Wilson dies Delicate Daises complete and open petal. To the centre of each flower I added a punched flower and some more CS PVA glue. I also used the trailing ivy die. 

The tag was from another Sue Wilson set Pierced Tags. The sentiment was cut with some Britannia Dies.  

I had finished the card but I was not happy something was missing. Well I ended up  doing the classic thing and adding a butterfly again cut with another Sue Wilson die this one from the Magical Butterflies set. Do you get the impression that I have a lot of Sue Wilson dies. Yes I have. 

I really was there and I did meet him.  

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday. I am off to the Portsmouth Sincerely Yours Papercraft show. Not exactly a Father's Day treat we are going to the cinema after. Also we are dropping off the wedding invitations they are finished. 

I would like to enter this card for Challenge 33 at the Butterfly Challenge Blog. 

Happy Crafting
