I love getting two cards for the time spent making one and with Alphabets it is so easy to do. Just a little extra embellishments and these cards are perfect.
I started off by creating my background with Brusho powders and sprinkled with a little water to make the colours burst.
Then with the large Alphabet I cut the word MISS from the panel and layered it onto the letters cut three more times in white to make them stand out.
Add these letter to an embossed DL size card in Landscape and use any YOU die that you have in your collection.
I cut and coloured the flowers and leaves from the Landmark Occasions Collection and weaved them through the letters. Black sequins have been added to blend with the word YOU which is cut from glossy black card
The second card uses the waste from the panel that I cut the word MISS from.
Today I have a video for you and I hope you will like the result. I have used Gold embossing powder to make these simple flowers look really special.
The water colouring is not hard to do and you will be surprised at just how easy it is. and so I really hope you will give this technique a try for your next cards
The combination of the coloured flowers and the gold leaves makes it look beautiful and of course your flowers can be any colour that you prefer.
I really enjoyed playing with this idea and I want to try the gold embossing on some black card next to see what that will look like
I will of course film it to share with you and hope that you will like that idea as well as this one.
Moe tomorrow ...

It's still wet and windy here but this card gives a hint of spring/summer and the warmer days to come. These flowers are made with foamiran and they are really big and fluffy.
They certainly fill a card up and of course they will need a box to send them.
I have used heart dies to create my flowers but you could use any flowers dies that you have in your own personal collections with great effect.
The embossed back panel just sets the flowers off to perfection and looks much nicer than just a plain one.
This card could be for any occasion if you swapped out the sentiment and is sure to suit all the ladies that need a card.
More tomorrow ...
