Good morning, how's your week going? I kind of feel like I'm on the home straight to the weekend as i've got Friday off. I do love long weekends :-) Here are a couple of cards made using the gorgeous new Floral Edges from Chocolate Baroque. When I stamped this card, I though the floral border would make a lovely lacy border so had to have a play and created the second card.
I don't usually do CAS cards but I thought this would make a pretty card without lots of embellies. I stamped the border stamp with memento ink, added the bird (from Curly Birds) and added the sentiment (from Best Relative Ever. I added some colour with Flexmarkers and matted the image on some black card.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Broken Box Stock: happy birthday
Creative Card Crew: birthday
Sentimental Sunday: flowers, flowers, flowers
Stamping Sensations: Fur or feathers
I had to try using the floral border as a lacy stamp and I think it looks really pretty. I stamped with versamark on kraft and embossed with white EP. I've added some seam binding ribbon, paper flowers coloured with a mist of diluted vintage photo reinker.
The main image is a Stampsmith stamp, I do love these stamps but hardly ever use them as I really struggle to get a good image, this was about my 20th attempt lol. I've layered it up over a doily and added some vellum leaves and a few little pearls.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Addicted to Stamps: use kraft
A gem of a challenge:add a bow
LEJ Designs: Lovely lady
Simon Says Stamp and Show: stamp you love but don't use
