First up today, Colorful Options is asking for "Blue" (truly and undoubtedly my favourite colour) and both Christmas Craft Creations and Jingle Belles want "No Stamping".
I used a scrap of background from my box, made (I think) with various inks or sprays applied to an embossing folder before running it through the Cuttlebug.
I die cut the reindeer and joy twice, once out of white glitter cs and once out of scrap cs, glued them together for more dimension, and added them to the background.
My other card is for Double D "Flowers" and Triple B "Birds Blooms and / or Butterflies".
As I said in the subject of this post, pink is an okay colour, but definitely not my favourite! I do grow some beautiful pink hollyhocks in my garden so this celebrates them and it uses up some of my decorative paper for the background. In real life, the pink in the dp matches the pink I painted the flowers with perfectly, but somehow the tones are messed up in the photo.

I LOVE that Christmas card. The background is so vibrant with the sprays and the glitter reindeer and sentiment are so pretty! Your pink hollyhocks are so pretty ... and so is the patterned paper. Lovely card Susan! xx
ReplyDeleteI love that reindeer cut using the glitter card Susan and what a fabulous blue toned background using your sprays and a very pretty embossing folder, and then the wonderful Hollyhocks and the pink and gold paper is beautiful and complements the flowers perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteOh, Susan, the blue with reindeer is gorgeous! That background just grabs you and keeps on going. Love it! Your pink card is super pretty with the sweet old fashioned hollyhocks and that fabulous paper. I have certain favorite colors, but I do like ALL colors. Thank you for sharing your flowers with us at Double D!
