Whispering Flowers

Good morning peeps

This morning I have a card made for Oyster Stamps.

For the background of the card, I have used a dusty pink card and layered with white card. In the corner of the background I have used the Memory Box Distressed Windham Collage and backed it with a double sided adhesive sheet. This has been covered in Crystal Glamour Dust.

From my computer, I have printed a sentiment and backed it with the dusty pink card. This has been shaped and placed across the card.

The flowers down the right side of the card have been made using the Spellbinders Marisa's Bouquet die set. I have cut out two of the different flowers, one from the same dusty pink card and one from a pastel pink card. These have all be covered in the Crystal Glamour Dust, shaped and a pearl added to the centres.

The leaves are from the same die set and have been cut from a pastel green card, again, they have been shaped and covered in the Glamour Dust.

The dies and the glitter can all be purchased from:

Garden Fun

Good evening

What a nightmare couple of days. I have had toothache for weeks, so managed to get into the dentist yesterday. The appointment was for 2pm, at 4.30 I was still sitting there waiting to be seen. To say I wasn't a happy bunny is an understatement.

I landed up having to go back at 9 this morning. The tooth is really loose, but she still wouldn't take it out, instead I got given antibiotics.

Tonight I have made a card in pastel colours. The digital stamp is from Sherri Baldy and I have coloured her using ProMarkers and Copics.

Other materials used are:

White card white

Lattice embossing folder

ProMarkers for the background

Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms stamp and die set

Whimsy Stamps Birthday Sentimentables die set

Wow white embossing powder

White lace

Blue Stitched ribbon

Pink gemstone

Pearl flourish

May Flowers

Good evening

That was a tough morning. I was already short on colleagues this morning and then another one phoned in sick. It left just two of us to make pizzas, set up the fish counter, cook chickens and work pre-pack stock. We did just about manage to do it, but I will admit, I had a little doze when I got home.
