A Special Lady

Hi Crafters,

With Mother's Day at the weekend I have had quite a few orders and some were rather specific in their requirements. The card I'm sharing today was one such order.

~'It must be pink, with a large flower as the focal piece and have the word MUM on it'~

Hopefully this fits the remit...

Magnolia Scalloped Half Circle Die x2 for the background frame

I also ran my WoS clear glitter pen over the flower petals but of course that doesn't show up here.

Love...

Hi Crafters,

Happy Leap Year Day!

Monday morning soon comes around and I have a card to share with you all.

I have been playing with the CD Rom that comes free with this quarters Crafters Companion Magazine. There are some lovely taster images on it from the 4 featured CD's and here's one of the cards I've made.

It was created using a card companion from the 'Downton Abbey' section of the CD Rom. I have cut it out and layered it up for a little dimension and added some glitter, paper flowers with flower brad centres and the word 'love' is a fancy brad too.

Challenges I'd like to enter:
Try It On Tuesday - Transport
Cute Card Thursday - #414 Florals
Crafty Friends - #26 Floral - Feature a Flower

It's a short post today, thank you for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment, I read and appreciate every one.
It might be a little quiet here for the upcoming week as I have a stack of orders to get finished and if I get drawn in to the computer then I will never get them done. Is it me or does your computer suck hours out of your day too?

Take care and stay well.

Floral Birthday - Take 2

Hi Crafters,
A lot of my customers like to have names put on their cards to personalise them and make them extra special. So I thought I would use the same layout as in yesterdays card but using a different colour-way and adding the recipients name.

Floral Birthday

Hi Crafters,
Hope the weather has been better today where ever you live, and lets hope for brighter days to come.

Here is a card I was commissioned to make which has a Spring, floral feel...     although I must say that the green leaves were not that vibrant in real life, as you may have noticed Santa didn't bring me a new camera after all :(  anywho on to my card...
