Evening again, hope you've all had a good Monday.
Got to admit, I used to hate Mondays (along with most other people)......but now, they're the same as every other day : ).....and even better because Alan usually works from home on Mondays.
Anyway, today I've made a few cards and thought I'd show you two of them.
My inspiration came from the gorgeous colours of the ribbon, and as you've probably guessed from previous posts, they're my favourites.
I'm trying hard to convince myself that I need the Spellbinders Moroccan
and Persian dies, as I do love using the borders designs and think they
give drama to the card. This border is from the Parisian set. I've
used the flower stamp in a previous post....it was a freebie with the
Craft Stamper magazine.
The flowers on this card were cut with a Quickutz die. The leaves, as above, are Spellbinders and the flourish is a Sizzix bigz. I 'glazed' the centres of the flowers, but took the pic before the glaze had 'cleared', whoops!
Hope you've enjoyed looking at my cards. As always, I'd love you to leave a comment, I like reading them all.
Many thanks for looking xxx
