Flower Garden and creative way to make a shape without a framelit!

Morning all!

Not fed up of the heat yet? I certainly am not lol!

So here is another card I made at Jen's on Saturday...

It was my first time playing with this gorgeous new set, Flower Garden. (yesterday's card was the second play lol) I love flowers, and any way to use a stamp and punch combo is always going to be a winner with me! 

Isn't it gorgeous? I am particularly loving this colour combo too! The stripe under the panel was done by rolling my Blender Pen onto the Crushed Curry ink pad then swiping it across my card.

Oh, speaking of the panel...have you seen the shape of it? Want to know how to create it without a die?? Simple really...I cut my panel out, then I placed the rounded edge of one of my ink pads along the edge of it, drew round it then snipped it using my super sharp Paper Snips! I finished it by using my distressing tool.

Supplies

Stamps - Flower Garden, Fabulous Phrases

Ink - Basic Gray, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry

Tools - Blender Pen, Paper Snips, Stamp-a-majig, Distressing Tool

I have the day off today, but it's not going to be a relaxing one lol! I have the school run, a doctor's appointment, have to get a parcel to the courier's, gym, shopping, school run, swimming....it'll all get done eventually! I hope your day is slightly less hectic!

She Believed!

Good morning!

I hope you're having a good week so far?

I had a very productive day in my craft room last night and made 2 cards! Here is one of them...

I have used the ever inspirational Feel Goods stamp set and I embossed it in Basic Black EP onto a die cut piece of DSP from the lush Print Poetry paper stack. The strips of DSP are also from Print Poetry, which I distressed using my distressing tool, and the card base is Midnight Muse. I finished with some bling!
