Thank you Wendy for my award!

It's what everyone says I know - but how did I find time to work full time!

EXPLODING BOX

 

And now for something different!

An exploding box based on 4 squares - 3 for the innies and one for the lid.

Used Spellbinders to cut embellishments and mounted the "floating" butterflies on acetate and added flowers.The centre of the smaller inner could be left plainer and a small gift put in (nail polish, gift card,lipstick chocolate rabbit!.Ideal for a Mother's Day or a Birthday Surprise.

Will make another soon and put the sizes etc.

The Stamp Barn

 

A quick card today using a flower stamp from The Stamp Barn. Used a fabric background in black and gold mounted onto gold mirror board and black card. Stamped the card using Versamark and Promarkers to colour. Used Distress inks to create an edge and added a simple sentiment.

PanPastels and stamping for this flower card....

Used Pan Pastels and a Glitter Girl's board to create the background to this card. Parisian Motifs from Spellbinders gave me the corner pieces and centre shape. Used a store cupboard stamp to stamp and embellish the flowers and when dry cut them out and decoupaged on the card. Randomly stamped the greeting......
