I had a wonderful time at a recent workshop - hosted bythe lovely Val! It's traditional to give flowers to the hostess, so I decided to make mine the stampin' up way! I used the daisy die to help me create these lovely flowers - hopefully they will last a little longer than the real thing! I can't claim credit for the design - I saw them on another blog - I think it might have been Caroline Skinner's and just had to give thema go myself. I then created a card to accomany them using the garden greenhouse set and the vintage wallpaper embossing folder. Finally I was able to present Val with a little extra thank you - one of the sale-a-bration sets. If you woud like to host a workshop - drop me a line and arrange a date - you never know what goodies you may receive!
I used a mixture of very vanilla, crumb cake and marina mist for this card. I love the effect that using the marker pens directly on to the stamps creates. Here I used two different greens and two blues to help give a little extra dimension.
You can see just how effective the embossing folders are at creating a textured background. it looks stunning and is so simple - just a few seconds and it's done.
