Today I have three not so special generic cards to show, and they will be added to my collection of charity cards. I apologise for the poor quality photo's, unfortunately the sky was very grey with heavy cloud when I took them.<br />
<br />
The flowers on my first card were printed and cut on my Cameo then laid across the Cheery Lynn 'Mexican Tile' frame and given a little dimension.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I created the background on my second card using four Spellbinders 'Corner Flourish' dies. The central die is by Marianne. I stamped my flowers and coloured with ProMarkers. I added some enamel accents to the flower centres.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my final card I embossed the background with Spellbinders 'Garden Lattice' EF then added cosmic shimmer 'Vintage Pink' faux pearls. My image is from Flourishes '<a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Tulips_for_Friends_p/ss228.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Tulips for Friends</span></a>'..... I love this stamp set!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I coloured my tulips with Anna Griffin water colour markers.</div>

This month Anne-Elise is our hostess, and she as asked us to create something with a vintage feel. <br />
Here is my take on the challenge.....a card with a soft vintage feel.....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPDHMkGDl8JYvbPg8zlBU1pxoT00DdNJx-vu_74qJTnZUAuZJpZkm2Jp714SNpV7OG9SHiaayZ1ovu4rd8OO_5QytHkzmgTIWd7HYMtKuprZv_vii3eidk9YZrKWXKp1BIi8BRtUCc0Gvd/s1600/DSC_0005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPDHMkGDl8JYvbPg8zlBU1pxoT00DdNJx-vu_74qJTnZUAuZJpZkm2Jp714SNpV7OG9SHiaayZ1ovu4rd8OO_5QytHkzmgTIWd7HYMtKuprZv_vii3eidk9YZrKWXKp1BIi8BRtUCc0Gvd/s400/DSC_0005.JPG" width="325" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see I used two doilies as my focal point. I sponged the edges with <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Ranger_TATTERED_ROSE_DISTRESS_PAD_p/thtimp20240.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Tattered Rose distress ink</span></a> and stamped the top doily with one of the sentiments from <span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Garden_Gate_p/ss236.htm"> <span style="color: #e06666;">'Garden Gate'</span></a></span> set of stamps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOK-MP_UYGnqHe5cqro5-2o7K7EWEltjeVaqpIrVBHTi9R-cDosroWRmGUylM2p5P139HCS8d-gYCHvpRz0p0wIVJJ4WfYjZsxjd5TlT-Cwi8OBiiyZaWevm4EecpxVMWtdAv61X7LlP1/s1600/DSC_0003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOK-MP_UYGnqHe5cqro5-2o7K7EWEltjeVaqpIrVBHTi9R-cDosroWRmGUylM2p5P139HCS8d-gYCHvpRz0p0wIVJJ4WfYjZsxjd5TlT-Cwi8OBiiyZaWevm4EecpxVMWtdAv61X7LlP1/s400/DSC_0003.JPG" width="323" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut some flowers and buds on my <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/SearchResults.asp?Search=Cameo"><span style="color: #e06666;">Cameo</span></a> and coloured those with Tattered Rose distress ink. I then added some pearl stamen to the centres. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuA2NnZQkXDoZcsPhBP3BYbfG3cVekl1Xi9o19i3UUDQNYVdkOPP-PVYA6WoqxML9ZfrPBUO12KxXl5SSv_JxC71_Kx4Ozto3Q4Ao-876ZrqT9EHeb6kEFdQwUvM2glGDH_TTXG1c1tgvk/s1600/DSC_0015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuA2NnZQkXDoZcsPhBP3BYbfG3cVekl1Xi9o19i3UUDQNYVdkOPP-PVYA6WoqxML9ZfrPBUO12KxXl5SSv_JxC71_Kx4Ozto3Q4Ao-876ZrqT9EHeb6kEFdQwUvM2glGDH_TTXG1c1tgvk/s400/DSC_0015.JPG" width="323" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The rose leaves were stamped from part of the <span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Lenten_Rose_p/ss147.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">'Lenten Rose'</span></a> </span>stamp set. I cut them out and water coloured them. I also stamped around my base card with the <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Lenten_Rose_p/ss147.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">'Lenten Rose'</span></a> stamp. To complete, I added an organza bow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqzVXv_hRuKa1RuSqp55xC4tn62EAzEURll1YLkmsSQ-aOF2YmBnsQkBgprRLEin34ESYMRg8vsSrEspmtQVann-yH2njSBZSQy35V2u-WakyB1tsJY_bmvYkRsdTYdMV9JRep6f11GUfB/s1600/DSC_0011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqzVXv_hRuKa1RuSqp55xC4tn62EAzEURll1YLkmsSQ-aOF2YmBnsQkBgprRLEin34ESYMRg8vsSrEspmtQVann-yH2njSBZSQy35V2u-WakyB1tsJY_bmvYkRsdTYdMV9JRep6f11GUfB/s400/DSC_0011.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

This month Meredith is our hostess, and she has asked us to create something 'White As Snow'. Anyone following my blog will know that I love white on white cards.....so that is what I decided to create.....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEOFHjQrN3DRYFP8wYpOYqU99bMXBt6JH_OUAJt_HCT9g1-faUdFUkZGZ4NVeDWKV7KLJp71p6ZwFpb2nIaW8BQIE0BhmdjP6ksHmmSY3oe9iXOvpfmYfhPeN_mv2uGl7SjkmhLsEgByHr/s1600/DSC_0005+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEOFHjQrN3DRYFP8wYpOYqU99bMXBt6JH_OUAJt_HCT9g1-faUdFUkZGZ4NVeDWKV7KLJp71p6ZwFpb2nIaW8BQIE0BhmdjP6ksHmmSY3oe9iXOvpfmYfhPeN_mv2uGl7SjkmhLsEgByHr/s400/DSC_0005+(2).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see I used several Spellbinders layers. I then stamped my holly image with <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Ranger_BUNDLED_SAGE_DISTRESS_PAD_p/thtimp27102.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Bundled Sage</span></a> distress ink using Flourishes <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Naturally_Merry_p/ss214.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">'Naturally Merry'</span></a> stamp set. I stamped the image again, fussy cut, glittered, then layered it to give some dimension. For my berries I used enamel accents.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stamped 'Joy' onto a Spellbinders label die using a stamp from the beautiful <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Poinsettia_and_Pine_p/ss211.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">'Poinsettia & Pine'</span></a> set of stamps. I then tied this onto an organza ribbon bow, along with two silver bells.</div>

For my insert I stamped randomly around the edges with the holly and then stamped the 'Merry Christmas'. Both stamps are from the <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Naturally_Merry_p/ss214.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">'Naturally Merry'</span></a> stamp set.</div>

This month Bridget is our lovely hostess and she has asked us to create something off the page. I have created a money wallet.....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

For the flap of my money wallet I used Spellbinders Borderbilities, I then stamped three times with one of the stamps from Flourishes '<a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Picking_Wildflowers_p/ss243.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Picking Wild Flowers</span></a>' set.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div>
I then stamped the leafy frond using a stamp from '<a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Summer_Blossoms_p/ss197.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Summer Blossoms</span></a>' set. I slightly curved the stamp to follow the line of the borderbility.</div>

<div>
I coloured with markers and then added my decorative bow.</div>

On the inside I attached a ribbon and label to hold money. I then stamped my sentiment with two of the stamps from '<a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/In_Out_Just_Because_p/ss217.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Inside & Out Just Because</span></a>' set of stamps.</div>

First of all, I apologise for only just posting this.<br />
Thank you to all who have PM'd me, or stopped by and asked if all was well, it really is appreciated. <br />
I've had a few nasty health issues and I'm still awaiting more test results. During this time I have had to put crafting and blogging on hold for a while, but I'm hoping to be back ASAP.<br />
Thank you for sticking with me, and I apologise for my lack of commenting on all your wonderful crafty creations!<br />
Sending love and hugs to all of you.<br />

Hope you are all well.<br />
Today I have been working on some more Christmas cards. Although I don't have lots to make, I thought that for a change I would get organised.<br />
My first card is one of the images I have had since last Christmas! It's from the Hobby House, Mo Manning Christmas Fairy collection. She's 'Holly Fairy' a topper...I didn't need to colour her! I just gave her dress and wings a bit of sparkle with glamour dust...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-O1JtETAhk8afu6F7p00YubcGqHOT7UcEk7igKA4HkX__G2wUlJGWi5_SvDo6i1RgIta_2YwgLNtlquygk8TamyIyEEBL4L_hWJjhZtXifq4d5F8-OvT3TuhzmdMFV7uFDhE-PqrudSg/s1600/DSC_0005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-O1JtETAhk8afu6F7p00YubcGqHOT7UcEk7igKA4HkX__G2wUlJGWi5_SvDo6i1RgIta_2YwgLNtlquygk8TamyIyEEBL4L_hWJjhZtXifq4d5F8-OvT3TuhzmdMFV7uFDhE-PqrudSg/s400/DSC_0005.JPG" width="371" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started with a circle card and then stamped my background randomly with one of the Hearfelt Creations - Holly Berry stamps. I then did a bit of fiddling around with the dies from Spellbinders 'Holly Motifs', glittered them and arranged them around my topper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr9oSC0OIpLR8Yjfd4pqaBjBHjD1CgazqzgOAfxEZoJeP3Ny32Ps9oimmpEOoh6x6GQZglCNCq6gi-EKv2APZ1zywpEyEFkx4pwXFvmyY-goBuKPYTApKkyRDC7wG0-Vr5VidDNfA8bewP/s1600/DSC_0004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr9oSC0OIpLR8Yjfd4pqaBjBHjD1CgazqzgOAfxEZoJeP3Ny32Ps9oimmpEOoh6x6GQZglCNCq6gi-EKv2APZ1zywpEyEFkx4pwXFvmyY-goBuKPYTApKkyRDC7wG0-Vr5VidDNfA8bewP/s400/DSC_0004.JPG" width="357" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, I added some red pearls for holly berries, and an organza bow trimmed with a Hobby House crystal embellishment. The crystal was pale green, I coloured it red with one of my Promarkers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My second card is also created using Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies along with Spellbinders - Majestic Labels Twenty Five...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stamped with bundled sage distress ink and added glamour dust here and there along with some rhinestones berries for a bit of Christmas sparkle.</div>

For my postcard I used some designer paper from my stash and stamped using the same image from the <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/SearchResults.asp?Search=Lenten+Rose"><span style="color: #e06666;">'Lenten Rose' set</span></a>. I stamped the roses several times, coloured with markers and then cut them out and layered them. I added dimensional paint to the centres. My sentiment is stamped using one of the stamps from<span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Tulips_for_Friends_p/ss228.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">'Tulips for Friends'</span> </a>set of stamps.</div>

They look fabulous left just dry embossed on white card, but I thought I would try colouring them. My first card was printed with Pink Petticoat Ombre in Dainty Daffodil. I then cut and embossed my Anna Griffin die. I coloured the flowers and leaves with ProMarkers, then added my butterfly, which is from Spellbinders Les Papillons Two. I then stamped my sentiment from JustRite 'Good Friends Labels Twenty Nine' set of stamps.....<br />

And a warm welcome to my newest followers.<br />
I've made my first Christmas card, which is really early for me, but I felt a touch of sparkle coming on as it's a bit cloudy and dull here today in West Yorkshire.<br />
To create my card I used lots of white card, and quite a lot of Glamour Dust!! Spellbinders, 5x7 Elegant Labels 4 dies - Poppy Stamps, Blooming Poinsettia dies - A flourish cut on my Cameo, and my sentiment is from <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Naturally_Merry_p/ss214.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Flourishes 'Naturally Merry' </span></a>set of stamps.<br />

Today I have a card that I made for someone who wanted yellow and blue flowers. It's quite a while since I made a CAS card, and I noticed that the theme over at <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/week-129-theme.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">Less Is More </span></a>this week is hand made flowers, and my card does have some of those on it. So without further a do here is my card...<br />

I used a LOTV image and coloured with PM's. I cut my flowers and leaves from card stock and coloured them to match my image. I cut my image out with SB Grand Decorative Ovals One.<br />

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend...and for those of you here in the UK who are experiencing this unbelievable heatwave!! I hope you are a bit cooler today. It's very overcast here in West Yorkshire, and a welcome change from the sweltering 30 degrees yesterday!!<br />
Today I have another quick collage card. Because of this heat, Ella is indoors most of the time and she has been a real minx this week. So no time for crafting again!!<br />
Here is what I managed to put together for a friend who is going away for a month to visit relatives abroad...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used papers and elements from the Tilda 'Seaside Life' collection. The entire collection is so fresh and beachy. My sentiment is from Pink Petticoat 'Beach Cottage' download collection. There are some pretty designs and you get a free sheet of 'Tiny Seashore Sentiments'. I layered everything onto one of the circle dies from SB Grand Decorative Circles One. I then placed that onto my base card.</div>

I added glamour dust to her pretty bathing costume, and her wings. The pink pearl is from my stash.</div>

Hope you are all well, and a BIG warm welcome to my newest followers.<br />
It's been quite hectic here over the past couple of weeks getting Ella settled in. She can be a little minx at times, but she is sooo loveable, too. I haven't had much time to craft, but I've been able to catch up with you all when I get some time to myself.<br />
Today I got some free time to make a collage card...no time for stamping, unfortunately...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

My papers are all from the Tilda 'Country Escape' collection. (I just love roses, and especially ditsy prints). I also embossed some pale pink card to make my tails.<br />

Finally I added a multi bow made with pink crochet silk and added a pink heart gem.<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by. I'm hoping to try and get a few more cards made this week, as I have a few family birthdays coming up...although I may not get the chance to upload them.<br />

She's just eight weeks old, and already a big girl. She is as soft as velvet, sooooo cute and sweet!</div>
I know she will never replace our lovely girl, Cookie. But she will fill that emptiness in our hearts and our home.<br />

Sorry I've been missing for so long. We had a three week holiday, and since we got back I have had problems with my blog. I have now changed over to Bloglovin, and I'm hoping I don't encounter any further hitches.<br />
I hope you can all still see my blog and that you will continue to follow me.<br />
I will be back to visit you all ASAP....Lots of love, Sasha xxSashahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09225109266349707049noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252270454008320556.post-60906396216899391482013-06-03T06:00:00.000+01:002013-06-03T06:00:01.327+01:00Flourishes Beautiful World Tour - Neutrals With Texture<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello, dear friends and followers. I am on holiday right now, so here's hoping that Blogger has behaved and that this scheduled post is up and running.<br />
It's the first Monday in June, and time for another <span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="http://flourishes.org/category/blog-hop/beautiful-world-tour/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Flourishes - Beautiful World Tour</span></a>. </span>Once again we invite you to travel the world with us for the chance of winning a FREE FLOURISHES STAMP SET!!! To be in with a chance of winning, you must leave a comment on each designers blog by 30th June.<br />
This month Meredith is our hostess, and she has challenged us to create something using neutral colours with some texture.<br />
Here is my card, and for some reason the colours look much darker than they really are. My roses are light cream in real life.....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I used a cream base card, and added some embossed card stock in dark beige and pale peach. I then added some ribbon lace from my stash. My sentiment label is from Flourishes '<a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Country_Charm_Labels_p/ss153.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Country Charm</span></a>' set of stamps. I stamped with cocoa chalk ink onto cream card and coloured with markers in pale peach. The sentiment is from Flourishes '<a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Sentimental_Favorites_p/ss210.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Sentimental Favorites</span></a>' stamped with cocoa chalk ink.</div>

I am up to my neck in commission cards, and need to get them all done and dusted before we go on holiday.<br />
I don't usually show my commissions, as they are personalised. But this one is for a lovely lady who is in a nursing home and will be soon turning 90! A friend asked me to do this for her, and requested that I didn't put 90 on her card. So this is what I came up with...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a large 8"x8" card and I used two SB dies for the centre, one from 'Floral Ovals' and the other from 'Grand Decorative Ovals'. I also cut a butterfly from 'Les Papillons Two'. All wording is computer generated.</div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;">Please scroll down to see my May Flourishes BWT Post</span></div>
<br />
Hello lovely friends and followers. It's time for another challenge at the <a href="http://theprettylittleribbonshop.blogspot.co.uk/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Pretty Little Ribbon Shop</span></a>, and this month our lovely Marlies has asked us to create a card, or project using lace.<br />
Here is what I created...<br />
For my first card I used an Anna Griffin embossing folder a SB die from A2 Filigree Delight and a flourish die. I made a flower and bow using blue <a href="http://www.prettylittleribbonshop.co.uk/userimages/procart51.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">38mm sheer wrinkle edge ribbon</span></a>. I added some <span style="color: #e06666;">white <a href="http://www.prettylittleribbonshop.co.uk/userimages/procart29.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">22mm cotton lace</span></a> </span>and <a href="http://www.prettylittleribbonshop.co.uk/userimages/procart36.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">pearls</span></a>. All from the <a href="http://www.prettylittleribbonshop.co.uk/index.htm"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Pretty Little Ribbon Shop</span></a>. I computer generated my sentiment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1iuOCX09jG7wMI2pPIR7_CeKfFrad9cuQJzQy59OkHarFxKjdbJT1Ga269nbNCGpGN1VodE1PEuu6iigWIKlXgkqlaHEM2TISrRg5FsSrBGjFu02DMjgTDeCsvAXyHiwLgYaQgqgHAa-/s1600/DSC_0032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1iuOCX09jG7wMI2pPIR7_CeKfFrad9cuQJzQy59OkHarFxKjdbJT1Ga269nbNCGpGN1VodE1PEuu6iigWIKlXgkqlaHEM2TISrRg5FsSrBGjFu02DMjgTDeCsvAXyHiwLgYaQgqgHAa-/s400/DSC_0032.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My second card uses an image from the 'Frou Frou' CD. The image was very pale and blurry, so I re- coloured it with ProMarkers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXJSVQ08LJTVTDPwZ0wpCjIS52oaXIspGoEyo8cF2QSRZoat76Uc-8Qv3kGreHlJ8PbDz8mv-qkXAzAK_2MvTxeMLd8fw-eTkpYbiMiUT63ukh7TF1sT_4BW_0KK4i7yEzfRZWZ93fNfmn/s1600/DSC_0045.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXJSVQ08LJTVTDPwZ0wpCjIS52oaXIspGoEyo8cF2QSRZoat76Uc-8Qv3kGreHlJ8PbDz8mv-qkXAzAK_2MvTxeMLd8fw-eTkpYbiMiUT63ukh7TF1sT_4BW_0KK4i7yEzfRZWZ93fNfmn/s400/DSC_0045.JPG" width="323" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added some beautiful <a href="http://www.prettylittleribbonshop.co.uk/userimages/procart20.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">guipure lace</span></a>, <a href="http://www.prettylittleribbonshop.co.uk/userimages/procart37.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">tiny heart pearls</span></a> a ribbon bow from <a href="http://www.prettylittleribbonshop.co.uk/userimages/procart34.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">white 25mm organza ribbon</span></a> and some <a href="http://www.prettylittleribbonshop.co.uk/userimages/procart16.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">white hip rosebuds</span></a>, tinted with PM's.</div>

If not then you will need to start your travels back at the <a href="http://flourishes.org/category/blog-hop/beautiful-world-tour/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Flourishes blog</span></a> in sunny Florida.</div>

This month Kathy is our hostess, and she has asked us to use an image and no sentiment, and to give our reason for why we chose that particular image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you know me you will be aware of my love of flowers. For my image I chose the beautiful blossoms from the new '<a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Garden_Gate_p/ss236.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Garden Gate</span></a>' set of stamps. I chose this image as the blossoms signify the arrival of our long awaited Springtime here in the UK. I just love to see the trees bursting with blossom at this time of year.</div>

I embossed my background and also used Spellbinders. I coloured my image with markers and I sponged with <a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Ranger_SPUN_SUGAR_DISTRESS_PAD_p/thtimp27164.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">spun sugar distress ink</span></a>. I then added a fussy white and silver bow.</div>

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.<br />
When I saw the beautiful Spring colour palette for this weeks challenge at '<span style="color: #e06666;">C<a href="http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/color-throwdown-239.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">olour Throwdown #239</span></a></span>' I just had to make a card. But I'm working very close to the edge, as the challenge closes very soon.<br />
Here's my card...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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.</div>

Just a quick post from me today.<br />
I recently got the SB 5x7 Enchanted Labels 28, but haven't had the chance to have a play until this morning. <br />
Here is the card I created...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I also used one of the SB labels 28 as a layer and embossed it. Both my stamps are from Flourishes sets...'<a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Cherry_Blossoms_p/ss114.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Cherry Blossoms</span></a>' and my sentiment is from '<a href="http://shop.flourishes.org/Sweet_Days_of_Summer_p/ss165.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">Sweet Days of Summer</span></a>'<br />
