Have A Beautiful Day!

Hello dear friends and followers, hope you are all well.
Sorry for my absence, but with one thing and another, until this evening, I just haven't had time to blog. But I promise to catch up with you all A.S.A.P.
When I saw the beautiful Spring colour palette for this weeks challenge at 'Colour Throwdown #239' I just had to make a card.  But I'm working very close to the edge, as the challenge closes very soon.
Here's my card...
I used white, lemon and pink card stock. Cheery Lynn - Sophia's Heart and SB circle dies. I cut some roses and leaves from white vellum and tinted them with PM's. My sentiment is from the 'Tulips for Friends' set by Flourishes. Finally, I added a fussy bakers twine bow and some swirly pearl accents.
Here is the gorgeous inspiration photo...

Friendship

Good afternoon dear friends and followers. Hope you are all well.
Just a quick post from me today.
I recently got the SB 5x7 Enchanted Labels 28, but haven't had the chance to have a play until this morning.
Here is the card I created...
I also used one of the SB labels 28 as a layer and embossed it. Both my stamps are from Flourishes sets...'Cherry Blossoms' and my sentiment is from 'Sweet Days of Summer'
My ribbon, tiny heart pearls and decorative pins are from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. Sarah has a Spring Sale on right now, so pop on over and grab yourself a bargain.

Spring Blossoms

Good afternoon dear friends and followers.  Hope you are all well.
Today I have a card created from Flourishes beautiful new release stamp set called 'Spring Blossoms'...
As you've probably guessed by now, I adore flowers, and floral images are my favourites to colour. 
I stamped my image onto a SB oval die then mounted it onto the lovely SB A2 Filigree Delight. I coloured with ProMarkers.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend, and for those of you in the UK who are going to Ally Pally...enjoy a fabulous time! I am so envious!!

Wishing You The Happiest Of Days

Hello dear friends and followers, and a warm welcome to my new followers. Hope you are all well and enjoying some Spring sunshine, which here in the UK we have longed for!
Today I have a card made with a cut down version of the SB Framed Labels Eighteen 3D M-Bossabilities, and using the letterpress technique. For this I used the Brilliance 'Aurora' multi coloured ink pad.
My sentiment is by Anna Griffin, stamped with black memento ink onto a SB Labels Eighteen. For my flower I used several silk flowers and a decorative brad, both from my stash. My leaves are cut from a Marianne die.
My new craft room is almost complete.  I have had the most horrendous customer service from the company who supplied my stationery cupboards. It's taken weeks for them to get my order right.  They sent damaged doors, wrong replacements, missing parts...a complete shambles!! On a brighter note, I ordered a storage system for my ProMarkers from CardCraft-UK, which was the best deal on the internet, and their customer service was second to none...free P&P too!!

With My Love, Sasha xx

Flourishes April Beautiful World Tour - Childhood


Hello everyone and a warm welcome.  It's April 1st and time for another  Flourishes Beautiful World Tour. Once again it's time to travel the world with us for the chance of winning a FREE Flourishes Stamp Set!!!  But please remember that you will need to leave a comment on every designers blog by the 30th April to be in with a chance of winning.
If you arrived here from Dina's blog then you're in the right place...if not, you will need to start your tour back in Florida at the Flourishes blog.

This month, Anne-Elise has challenged us to create something with the theme of 'Childhood'.
When I  was a little girl I spent many happy and long sunny days in the garden with my lovely dad. He gave me my own little patch and taught me how to sow seeds and I grew my own flowers and veggies.  The image I used is from the Flourishes 'Sweet Days of Summer' stamp set which was a perfect choice for me...

For my image, I first sponged my colours and then stamped my image with tuxedo black ink. My sentiment is also from the 'Sweet Days of Summer' stamp set.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. Your next destination is Aleksandra in beautiful Slovenia...
