Hi Everybody,
This is the card I added a few days ago as an easy card to make ... using just an embossing folder and the matching die.
It was a nice enough card when it was done ... but for me ... well if you read my pages regularly you will know it is not enough.
You see my problem is I can't leave things alone and I have to keep going back and picking at things.
Change a bit here ... add a bit there ...I am sure you know what I mean.
And so after looking at this card for a day or two ... and not really being excited by what I saw ... I had to go back to it and do a bit more
Out came the flower basket and the "Bling" box and after placing things around and seeing what went where I went to work.
And this is what I ended up with and it looks really elegant in real life.
And all this ... I might add ... was in the early hours of the morning.
I haven't added the list of dies ... because I did that on the original post ... but here are the other links for supplies.
The flowers are from
Wild Orchid Crafts and they have been sparkled with glitter from
Glitter Magic
I changed the black pearl for a larger pearl cluster that I bought in a pack from the local craft shop.
I pushed two small decorative pins into the knot and there are about 50 in a box from Dunelm Mill.
The satin ribbon is from
Mei Flower and all the beautiful Diamante is from
Want2Scrap
And so after messing about for an hour and a half I had the card I liked and went off to bed as happy as Larry for some sleep.
And a sleepy voice said to me .... "What time do you call this ...." Oooops !! Er 3.45 am
More tomorrow...
Hugs xx
