Good morning all

I really enjoyed making this card even though it was a bit of a faff.
I used papers from Anna Marie Designs 'Blissful pink' pad.
I used a hessian design stencil with modelling paste to give  a raised texture
at opposite corners.
Then I pleated contrasting papers and fanned them out adding mulberry
paper flowers dusted with crushed ice and a chipboard accent.

Wedding Day

Good morning everyone

I'm back today with a wedding card using 'In the Chapel' chipboard.
This chipboard is just fabulous and the world is your oyster when it comes to the dress.
I have chosen to add tiny pearls to it and it looks gorgeous.
I have added a die cut pergola around the arch to which I also added 
tiny handmade Foamiran flowers.
This would make a wonderful keepsake for a special couple.

I've made the flowers using Foamiran, I am so addicted to this stuff and could easily
spend forever playing with it.

Soft Peach

Good Morning all
For today's card I chose lovely peach colours, I always gravitate 
to these colours when I look in shops as they are my favourite.
I've stamped the sentiment  by Lili of the Valley onto a white circle and 
added a larger peach circle underneath. Then I surrounded the circles with
a much larger ornate chipboard circle as the main focal point.
The daisies have been dusted with crushed ice, and I've just added a tiny ribbon to 
the leaf on the left hand side for balance.
