Friends ...

Last week it was the birthday of a very lovely lady, a very good friend of mine. Here's the card I made for her ...

Supplies used:
Cardstock & ink - Primrose petals & midnight muse, Stampin' Up
Paper - Stampin' Up
Stamp & die - Polka dot greetings & Fishtail flags, Die-namics
Punch - Potpourri butterfly, Stampin' Up
Embossing folder - Lattice, Stampin' Up

Her birthday lunch had to be postponed because of that pesky snow! But wasn't it pretty?! Me & my daughter went for a walk & found this ...

Very Narnia like, isn't it! So pretty.

But now it's all gone, my kiddies are back at school & we return to normality *sigh*

Thanks for popping by & take care x

Shades of blue

I'm going to try & enter some of the lovely challenges that are out there in blog land. I love the Less is More blog & their challenge this week is for a clean & simple designs in shades of blue. So I went back to my first Stampin' Up hostess gift of the Punch Potpourri stamp set & this is what I came up with ...

I scored 2 lines with my paper trimmer to define the centre panel. I then masked the top & bottom parts of the card & stamped the flowers in Pacific Point, Marina Mist & Night of Navy. I must give a shout out to Vicky as I saw the idea for the scored lines on her blog. The sentiment is from the Just Believe stamp set.
I seem to have a bit of an obsession with the colour blue at the moment, so watch this space for more 'blue' cards :)
