Simple and I hope elegant

I don't usually do this size or style of card but decided to give it a go anyway, it was quick and very easy.

The photo doesn't do the card justice, it's more 3D in real life.  It's a C6 card,  made from a creamy white pearlescent card.  I used the largest nestie from the Spellbinders Labels Eight set to cut the largest mat, it then went through the Cuttlebug with the Flourlished Farm embossing folders and the edges were chalked with a mix of orange and yellow.  The second size from the bottom of the Labels Eight nesties was cut and chalked like the large one and foam pads used to centre it on the larger mat.  The butterflies are dies from Joy Crafts, this is the first time I've used them and was well impressed, they were cut out of the same pearlescent card as the rest and then chalked.  I added jewels to give the card some interest and that's it, a quick and simple card which I think looks quite elegant.

Tonight is the second meeting this month of our craft club and I need to decide what I'm  taking and gather up the stuff I need, this takes me absolutely ages.  Decisions, decisions!!!  Have a great day.  Hugz, Janice.

Floral Get Well Soon

I made this card with the hope that I won't need it in the near future, all my friends are keeping well and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  But like an umberella, if you don't have one to hand then you'll definitely need it, and so this card was born.

The pretty pink paper was from my stash and bought so long ago that I've forgotten what it was called.  The matted and layered circles are from Spellbinders - Eyelet Circles and Large Scalloped Circles.  The sentiment was a stamp from Stamp-it, an Australian company, it was stamped with Versamark and then chalked.  The leaves and trims are Marianne dies and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, although I can't be sure about the white rosebuds.  If I'm going to blog, I'll have to pay a lot more attention to the little details.

Well, I hope you like this card, do let me know.  My enthusiastic husband is down by our local river with his fishing club, celebrating the start of the fishing season which opens at midnight.  This is why this post is getting done now and not in the morning, I'm not going to bed until he is in and I know he hasn't fallen in the river in the dark. Have a nice Tuesday and enjoy your crafting.  Hugz, Janice
