Sending love




Well, I can tell it's Wimbledon time of year. It's been raining heavily all day, I didn't realise how deep the standing water was at one of the roundabouts on the way back from the supermarket, it washed my windscreen well though!
As it was definitely the weather to stay indoors I had another play with the Botanical Orchid Bouquet stamp. I multiple stamped it with black memento ink on thin cardstock and coloured it in with my copics and then fussy cut them to decoupage up the image. 
I used a 6" square card blank and die cut a sheet of matt silver card and a sheet from a Lucy Cromwell for papermania 6x6 pad. It doesn't show up well, but the bunting on the paper is glittered. Before sticking the paper onto the silver card I die cut a banner die (no idea who made the set but they are purple) out of the paper. I then inserted a banner that I had die cut out of white card into the aperture, so that the front of the card was flat but with the silver showing through the fancy edges of the banner. I stamped the message from Clearly Besotted's mini messages set and added the decoupaged image to the card. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring some sun!

  2. Hey Cara, I really like this, I love Lucy Cromwell's stuff for Papermania. Love the hummingbird and the orchid, stunning. I'm afraid that it is still in the high 30s here and my boss was just complaining on a call to me about how grey and wet England is...Cx
