Happy Mothers Day!

Hello Lovelies and a very Happy Mothers day to you! I've had a lovely day and have been thoroughly spoiled .... cards, flowers, chocolates, my daughters and my mum and dad - what more could a girl want?  Its been fab - thanks all - and a big thanks to my lovely mum for some more fabulous flowers! My house looks like a florist shop just now - its beautiful!

Today I have my latest make for our lovely christmas card club - the theme is anything goes and was set by the lovely Sylvie. Here are the two cards I made for this one - using a die'sire create a card die.


I tried two different colourways - the first using distress ink, the second versa mark and gold embossing powder. Here's a close up:


this is a big change from my usual cards but I think it works! 

Big hugs to you and I hope you have had a wonderful day!

  10. Both are breath-taking! Love the elegant look you've achieved with the luscious Die'sire die & the change-up with the colors made each card so unique. The warmth of the cream & gold versus the cooler effect of the pale blue distress ink & white. Yet each looked so shimmery with the gold mat behind the focal piece. I can never get this stunning effect with the few CAC Die'sire dies I have. Well done. Also glad you had a lovely day being spoiled, as you deserve to be! TFS &Hugs
