spotty and dotty and flowery too :o)

I like the brown and the pink now but I am not keen on the mess I made of the circle flower thing on the left top corner. I am unsure of it whilst I like the rest of the card. In truth I tried to take it back off but the glue had gone off and so it is there for good. I saw a very similar design on inking idaho and so I thought id give it a go.

The four corners are a bit of a cheat, it is not real brads it is candy drops that I got at the craft show SECC and NEC last year. Tiny paper circles that look just like brads and are so addictive because they do much less damage to the finger tips :o)

I wasnt sure about the pink and brown together but loved the spotty paper so well here it is like it or not.

Now I am on the hunt for a stamping up christmas ornament punch if anyone knows who has them in stock please let me know. I am going to SECC on saturday next week cant wait to see what fun stuff I get to play with for Christmas Cards.

thank you very much!

Cheery chirpy happy thank you card. Simple sweet and relatively easy, especially when you have bought all those aperture cards and have no real reason to use them :o$

The finished card!

I am a bit of a recycling fiend. So..............the buttons were rescued from shirts my husband decided had seen better days and were heading to the big green wheelie bin. The fibres or wool type trim is a piece that came free with a magazine I bought on hols in Canada.............sorry!

The design of each is up to you.

I used the peel offs I already owned. They are something I was keen on when I started crafting but to be honest I think you can overdose on them and now I tend to not to use them although as you can see they do have their uses. ;Op

Hey, well today I am posting a previously made card. I was clearing up months of mess in my craft room and came across this card that I made for my daughter last Christmas. She is every inch the drama Queen and we had been in London to see a show for a little treat and I tried to make her an equally dramatic card for the festive season. I used a sheet of A3 BLACK CARD and I brought out every black silver and grey peel off I owned. I had a template of a theatre mask I had bought and I had sheets of flocked paper and self adhesive velvet papers so I set to work.
