More Beautiful Botanicals

Wow - back to work this week........"the merry go round just gets faster and faster!".....as promised another couple of cards to share created using the Beautiful Botanical collection from Craftwork Cards:



I also treated myself to another couple of different botanical themed pads last weekend when Craftwork Cards had a 50% off offer with free postage............I wonder how long it may be before I can bring myself to use them.............Enjoy your weekend.................xxGaynor

Beautiful Botanical!

Easter Sunday...................and I've been having a play with my Botanical papers from Craftwork Cards which I purchased at the Harrogate  Papercrafts Show.  I felt very brave beginning to use the fabulous papers..............unfortunately I tend to admire and hold on rather than be creative.....silly really.  I created in total 10 cards this afternoon so time definitely well spent and I am pleased with my makes.

Here are a couple of shares for today:



I have added glitter glue along the matted edges and diamond glaze to the flowers and card candi.  I have used a nestabilities circle lace die.................and cut out and added some of the tiny butterflies.

One more day before returning back to work on Tuesday............sure it will be okay once I get there.......ha ha......see it isn't only the pupils that have wobbles returning after school holidays......

Little Claire's new blog challenge.

I'm just back from a lovely week in sunny Cornwall, such a massive treat to see all the very welcome signs of spring.  
Today I am sharing a card I recently made for the latest challenge with Little Claire - Lots of Layers.......I have used a stamp from a recent Project Stamp set released by Little Claire.....an excellent selection of stamps are contained in this set: Good Times


I have also used a Martha Stewart border punch, a memory box die and an inverted corner punch.  Coloured using promarkers, card candy and a little glitter glue.

Please check out below details of the latest blog challenge and the lovely prize for grabs.

Off now to check out my fellow DT's cards.  xxGaynor

Little Claire Shares - April Club Set

Evening all................yes I have been a bad blogger of late........sorry!

Just finished work for 2 weeks and 1 day........off to Cornwall in the morning for a breather......full of a cold......can't quite believe that escape begins tomorrow!  Yes I am so very lucky.  Vicky is joining us she suggests for her last family holiday.....this time last year she was talking to her soon to be employer in New Zealand.......this has been such a roller coaster year.....grabbing life and running with it so to speak.

Anyhow a catch up of some of my recent makes using Little Claire Stamps:


Will load additional piccies when I find them....................
