Good afternoon peeps

Well it's bank holiday Monday and I went for a little mosey out to Melton Mowbray, the home of the humble pork pie. I have to say I was a little disappointed, I imagined this quaint little market town with little tea shops and Artisan bread bakers popping up all over the place but nothing of the sort. I did however buy a small pork pie from the world famous 'Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe'.

For today's very simple but effective card I have distressed dotty card and layered it with a piece of corrugated card to add texture. The daisies have been dusted with crushed ice.

Hi everyone

Back today with this beautiful card.  I really like how this has turned out.
I first of all distressed paper from the 'Blissful Pink' pad. I then used a daisy stencil with modelling paste to create a raised daisy pattern  and added a crystal gem in each centre. I've torn the paper and added pink pearls to add another dimension.
Sentiment is from a set of quotes by Lili of the Valley. Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and are dusted with crushed ice.

Good evening peeps

Thought I'd make a start on my Christmas cards so for today's card I have used 'Blissful Teal' paper which I used white gesso  with a Dutch Doobadoo snowflake stencil for the background.
I cut pieces of hessian into small squares and soaked with Anna Marie Designs white structuriser, this acts like a starch and stiffens the hessian. I then placed them randomly onto a triangle shape that I cut out of card to make the tree using corrugated card with cream chalky paint for the base of the tree. I've used voile, lace, wooden stars,  dried flowers, mulberry paper papers which I dusted with Viva Decor Eiskrystall,  and pearl garlands to embellish the trees.
