Flower Power


We got up to an absolutely beautiful day here, clear blue skies and warm spring sunshine. You could almost see the flowers opening. I took my mug of tea out and sat in the garden this afternoon and it was bliss to feel warm sun on your face. I hope it was as good where you are.

Well back to crafty things.

I managed another cuttlebugging card, this time using the build a flower embossing folder and dies. I thought just using 3 petals looks a bit like a tulip so I wiped pink brilliance ink over and then used pink gems to create a stalk. The background is sprayed with Amaryllis Burgundy Starburst stain which leaves a lovely gold sheen when it dries and then I stamped a butterfly all over with crimson brilliance ink and used that again for the greeting.


I seem to be a bit cuttlebug obsessed at the minute. I think it must be time for a change!

No no, not time for a change Lisa, carry on just the way you are, your use of the cuttlebug is really creative, I love this flower.

Hi Lisa

You have beautiful cards and photographs on your blog! I love seeing what people have done with our stamps and stains too. I'll pop back another time to see more of your work.

Thanks
