In Heartfelt Sympathy

Hello crafters.  Hope all is well.

A lovely topper from a very handy Little Book.

On Your Birthday

Good sunny morning crafters.  Hope all is well.

I've layered the circular mat and off set the lower circle so there's a hint of pink peeking through. The blue square mat already had the white frame printed - saved me a job!

Opulence indeed

Hello crafters.  Hope all is well and you've had a great weekend.

It was a busy one for me - lots of gardening (and some crafting!).  I did find time to visit some garden centres.  So many plants I wanted to bring home with me!  However, with great self restraint, I restricted myself to a few hardy geraniums and geums. I could not resist one extra purchase which was the new Eastern Opulence paper pad from docrafts.  Gorgeous!  One of those you drool over first!

So many beautiful, rich designs - you really don't have to do much.

Butterfly Dreams

Hello crafters. Hope all is well.

I've dipped into Heartfelt Creations for today's card. I adore butterflies, so this collection was a must! 

I stamped and cut the butterfly with the matching die.  Distress inks were used to colour it - I kept to the original colours on the paper and then finished with some Spray n Sparkle and gems.

I love the colours in the paper pad - some quite bold, but also some more subtle and they all work so well together. I can see me using this a lot and almost wish I'd bought another pad as it was almost 'painful' cutting up the paper and losing the other side!

Items used
