No Flowers !!

Hi Everybody,

Here I am again .... minus the flowers !!

This card is created with  white and a dark blue pearl card from  Papermill Direct  which is based in  Kendal .. and is a really thick at 300 gsm

I buy a lot of my card from there and it is always good quality,  and  I love the white card which is usually the basis of my designs.

The sentiment is one of the  Sentimentals Range  from  Crafters Companion  and there are lots of verses for you to choose.

They are a  rubber stamp that will last you a lifetime ,,, but they are unmounted.

Can I just  stress to you  that the list of  Spellbinders  that I add at the end of the  post is there for your information.

It simply shows you what the dies look like if you should wish to look for them in your local shops

I am not suggesting for one minute that you buy the dies from that list... what I do say is ...  shop round for the best price you can get.

You may get the best deal from a craft show you go to ... your local craft store ... or one of the online suppliers that are plentiful.

The dies featured  here I have bought form either  Sunrise Crafts  or  Once Upon A Stamp ... and both of these are UK companies with excellent service.

But please, please do your research for the best price possible before you buy.

Now the links that I add to the actual page are where I get the items that I have used from.

 I do not get paid for the recommendation but it is there for you to take advantage of if you wish and to know that it has come from me because I know it is good quality.  I would not add it otherwise.

Don't forget to add your name to the list for January "Give Away" 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

    Good morning Christina beautiful card ....... BUT no!! flowers!!!
    You will need to lie down for a while, well that's how I feel if I have not used flowers on my cards.
    I love that you list your ingredients, for any new crafters it must be a great help
    Have a Great Day

    This design is not too fussy so would be great card for the men in our lives Christina - but then pink card and a bit of bling and it's perfect for the ladies too! Pat x

    Beautiful cards - no flowers work for me - especially as I post a lot of my cards to friends and relatives - which means they can go as standard not large. Thank you for your blog it is a source of great inspiration. Joan x

    Hi Christine,
    Todays card is so very striking with the dark blue and white and yet it's so stunning!!
    Wot no flowers! Lol!...but as you said it would make a great man card but change the colours to pastels and add flowers and it becomes a girlie card. Many thanks for sharing your fabulous creations with us.

    Love Sheila xx

    Hi Christina, great card. I always used to buy my card from the papermill shop and really miss it since it closed down. I was never sure about buying card online as I like to see and feel the quality, after reading the all the comments I will seriously think about it now.
