Fresh Flowers

I made this card at the Stamp Camp run by Marelle and Teneale earlier in the year. Can you imagine a whole weekend of stamping without interruption?! Bliss! I used Old Olive cardstock and stamped the 'Polka Dot' background in Old Olive ink and layered Pumpkin Pie cardstock. On the Whisper White cardstock I have used the felt flowers from Flower Fusion (Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red and Old Olive) with silver brads through the middle. The stems I created by freehand cutting and for the leaves I used the 5-Petal Flower punch. The grass was also created with some freehand snips and the "For You" sentiment is from the new stamp set 'Fresh Cuts'. Sorry for the poor photo, the light wasn't very good.

Finally, a Christmas Card!

This card is a CASE from the very talented Marelle Taylor. It uses the 'Season of Joy' stamp set (Spring Mini) and 'Polka Dot' background stamp (pg. 108). The colours are Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi and Whisper White. The ribbon is Purely Pomegranate double-stitched. The 'Season of Joy' set is definately one of my favourites! If you love it as much as I do, you better get in fast because the Spring Mini finishes on November 30th.
