Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Yupo Flowers

Hello Everybody,

Gosh it's cold here today and wet and windy. Definitely the day to stay home with the heating on

Here is a card I made a while ago when I was playing with Yupo paper and Alcohol Inks and with the scraps I decided to make some flowers.

It's a really simple card and I surrounded the flowers with leaves from Spellbinders

The oval has been added to an embossed panel for a little more decoration and you can add any sentiment to the front of the card that suits your occasion.

Friday Freebie 

I will be starting the card and magazine gift "Give Away" again this week so please be sure to add your comment if you would like the gift.
  And my apologies go to Jean Marmo who won the last prize because I still haven't sent it to you. 
But it is in the pipeline Jean and I promise I have not forgotten about it xx

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

    2. Oh wow ! Stunningly beautiful ! Thank you so much for the link, I missed this video when it first aired. I was having lunch with a friend (non-crafting) today and was talking about you and saying how wonderful your how-to videos are and here is another one. Thank you.

      Hope sweet Ruby is ok - big hug to her.

  17. Hi Christina
    The card is so pretty. I haven't used yupo paper yet so must get some to have a play. Thanks for sharing. It's been raining all day here up in South Yorkshire so my craft room has had a blitz and have got rid of some old magazines. Also, I've been ruthless and got rid of some stuff that was put on one side 'just in case'. Take care
    Hugs,
