My favourite card...

Hello lovelies!

Well out of the projects I've been blogging with you all this evening I really do feel that I've saved the best till last. I have to say that this is one of my favourite cards that I have made.

I think it is really nice to have a favourite of your work, this is just perfect as I absolutely love vintage and I love butterflies.

The collection is the Vintage Bloom Collection from Aspire Crafts.

I have used Dekro mounts which I have coloured with distress ink. 

The die is a Joy crafts die, butterfly border.

I love the Vintage  Bloom Collection, it is so very pretty!

Well, that is me all caught up in blogland for now...I will be back very soon with some more crafty creations.

Thanks for stopping by I always appreciate your visits.

Happy crafting,

lots of love

Aspire Crafts Design Team Cards...

Hello lovelies, well I hope you are all keeping well and have had a lovely Christmas and a very Happy New Year celebration!

 

It feels like it's been a while since I posted any cards. It hasn't been that long really...December is a busy time for me at work so I don't get the chance to create as much as I would like. When I do its usually finishing rushing with some last minute Christmas cards, family cards and a calendar I make for my hubby every year.

 

So, today I have dug out all of my ASPIRE CRAFTS  VINTAGE BLOOM COLLECTION 

and made a couple of cards to show you!

 

Of course it would have been unusual for me not to make a 'PINK' card. So one is pink! The other card is a colour I don't really use very much so I thought I would go with 'GREEN'.

 

 

'PINK'
