Morning and happy Saturday
First of all I would like to thank everyone for the
welcoming and encouraging comments left
on my own blog and Less is More
following my DT announcement last week.
You are an amazing set of blog buddies
and it's much appreciated.
I've had a fabulous week visiting all your blogs which are packed full of incredible inspiration.
I have also gained some new followers so thanks for joining you are most welcome.
So this week the theme is flowers and lilies are my all-time favourite flowers, which brings me onto my
first card which uses a brand new MFT Die-Namics set of dies called 'lily'coloured with Promarkers.
For the background, another newbie; an MFT chevron stencil used with distress inks.
Both of these products have been on my wish list since their
release so I had a little spend at the weekend.
The background panel has been die-cut
using another MFT product (Pierced Rectangle Stax) and adhered to the card with
3D foam. I love this pierced rectangle set so you may see it popping up quite a bit ... the problem is I'd now like all of the MFT Pierced shape sets!
To finish I've added a 'Happy' die-cut sentiment, also coloured with
Promarkers and a stamped birthday greeting; both from Clearly Besotted. Last but not least a
little bow of hemp cord to tie the stems together.
It's another die-crazy card which is this week's theme at Simon Says Stamp so
I'll be popping over there with this card.
For my second
card I couldn't wait to try out the newly released Clearly Besotted products
and this set is Bridal Bouquet. I've stamped different sizes of the
flowers and foliage then die-cut some of the blooms and leaves, attached
with 3D pads to add a little dimension.
The
'Congratulations' sentiment is another word die from Clearly Besotted which is
cut from some silver pearlised card. To finish off I've swept my clear Wink of
Stella brush over the blooms
and added pearls to their centres.
I've used the colours from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge so
I'm heading across there shortly.
Ok it's your turn now!
Thanks for stopping by and I am looking forward to visiting all your blogs again this week
to see what you've come up with for this week's LIM challenge.
Great cards. I especially like your congrats card - the pink is so vibrant, beautiful.

ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards, but for me the lillies are a firm favourite - they are my favourite flower and they look truly striking against the green background.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are stunning, Sarah! I love how you used the flowers and coordinating dies. Thanks so much for playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Die Crazy!
ReplyDeleteA striking card for the LIM challenge.
