Easter celebrations

I made this card for my Mother-in-law

for Easter.

I went with pool party card which I embossed

with a rose embossing folder.

The centre papers are from a retired set which

I matted onto some white card and used some

fancy edge scissors to trim it.

I hand cut the cross from some matching paper

and then layered it onto white card.

I wrapped a piece of white ribbon around the cross

then stamped a flower from Painted Seasons stamp set,

in pool party ink and layered it up.

I finished with a stamped sentiment from

Fable Friends stamp set and a pearl.

Stamping Sensations November Challenge

Our challenge over at
STAMPING SENSATIONS
is all about Traditional Christmas using the colours
red, green and gold - any or all!

I pulled out some old (painted seasons) and some new stamp sets to create this card.
It has bits of gold embossing. Each bauble was gold embossed then coloured and I also gold embossed the
edges of the sentiment.

Those little green thread bows where tricky to make but I like the effect.
I just wanted something subtle.
I had intended to stamp some little yellow stars/spots between the branches
but totally forgot. I will add at some stage before it gets posted out.

We are sponsored this month by

Chocolate Baroque

so be sure and get your stamped entries in for a chance to win.
