Best of Flowers and Mixed Bunch

Two cards to share today.  This daisy image is from the Best of Flowers stamp set.  Don't forget the best of 25 years stamps sets are only available till 31st March 2014.  You can view them all via the links on the right hand side or click on the Promotions tab above and scroll down to see all five sets.

The shadow effect is achieved simply by stamping once then stamp again without re-inking.  The base card and ink used is Coral Calypso, stamped on Whisper White.  Other products used are the Honeycombe Embossing Folder, Apothecary Accents die, Linen Thread and Pearls.

A similar design here, just using up bits really.  Same colours as above with the addition of So Saffron.  I used the Beautiful Butterfly Bigz die for the butterfly. The stamped image is from Mixed Bunch stamp set and 'Hello' is part of a stamp from Regarding Dahlias. 

The paper is from Subtles Paper Stack and embossing folder Perfect Polka Dots.  Thank you for visiting x...

Peaceful Petals

Hello crafters.  Peaceful Petals here for you today.  There are 7 stamps in this new set.  You'll find it on page 20 of the spring/summer catalogue.  Another great one for colouring in, and for jentangling me thinks.

I stamped the image in black Stazon and used Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Crazem Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz to colour in the image.  The embossing was done with Modern Mosaic folder and the shape cut with Apothecary Accents die.  I've been using that set of dies a lot lately. I keep forgetting I have the paper piercing pack that coordinates with this set of dies.  I think it's a simple yet very effective accent to finish off a card.   I'll add a sentiment later.

Simply Sketched

Hello crafters. Today I want to share this beautiful card with you.  It was sent to me by one of my lovely downline's, Alice Eaton.

The flower is from the Simply Sketched stamp set. It's a hostess set available to purchase with hostess £s only.  The sentiment is from Wetlands stamp set and that embossed script is Pretty Script which was available in the autumn/winter 2013 catalogue. 

Alice used Oval Framelits and Apothecary dies to cut the shapes.  Lovely :)
