Blue & White With Love Card

Hi Everybody,

I am using the 6x6 Collection again today for this really pretty floral card and I have made the box to match

The card stand means that your recipient can display their card wherever they like and it will look good from all angles

The card is a lovely shade called Marine Blue from Papermill Direct and is my favourite shade of blue to use for card making as it teams so well with white 

My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

All You Need is ....

Hi Everybody,

Today's card has combined dies from Crafti Potential and Spellbinders and the brick stencil from Craft Stash.

The result is a pretty simple card and you could add any word you wanted to the design to suit the recipient and the occasion.

With the stencil I inked the pattern and then I embossed it in the die cutting machine to impress the pattern into the card for a lovely effect.

I matted it onto some Kraft card to enhance the brickwork and added the flowers with foam pads underneath

Dot with a few pearls and the card is finished.

Quick, easy, clean & simple !!
