Gerbera Happy Birthday.........

Hello......

Today I have a card to show you...using a set by Flourishes. Love these stamps.....I love rubber stamps, but these clear Polymer stamps are excellent quality and always stamp well..

I have used 'Gerbera Daisies' for my card today...

I have just stamped with Black Memento Ink and used my long forgotten water colour pencils...loved using these.
The sentiment is off another Flourishes set 'Violet'........One day I will learn to cut and stamp straight!!!! The sentiment didn't quite fit on the small block I had out and being the lazy thing I am I just tried to fit it diagonally, instead of reaching down and finding a larger acrylic block!!....It did look straight when I stamped onto a piece of scrap card..................

Thanks for looking and I'll catch up with you soon.....

She xx

Better Late Than Never.......

Hi there....
I did intend to write this post this afternoon......but I couldn't finish the card in time...

Why is it the most simplest and cleanest looking cards take me so long to do?? Really underestimated this one!!! But I like how it turned out..

I've used some of my favourite stamps by Flourishes, available form Emily here

My Mojo is sadly lacking at the moment...so I had a look on the Flourishes gallery here and took the idea for my card from a few different images, so thanks girls....you really helped.

I used the gorgeous Gerbera  set for the main image coloured with ProMarkers and I coloured the background with Distress Inks.. The sentiment is from the Orchids set. I used an Embossing folder through my faithful 'bug and I've just noticed that the pattern on the mattand the background matches!! How I managed that I don't know!!

I'll hopefully see you again soon....Thanks for looking.

She xx
