Perfectly Preserved paper flowers

Good morning! Having been away for much of the weekend, I'm in catch-up mode so today I'm showing you a card I designed a little while ago to give to my lovely Stampers 6 club members. Come and have a look:


I used some of the paper daisies to pop into the acetate jar that you've seen me make before (click on Perfectly Preserved in my side bar index to see how carried away I've been with this beautiful jar!) I arranged the jar on a piece of 'wood' made with core'dinations card stock run through the Big Shot with the wonderful Woodgrain embossing folder and sanded back to reveal the lighter colour inside the card stock. The background was spritzed using a Summer Starfruit marker tucked into the Colour Spritzer Tool.

EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to mention that I have only one place left for my Stampers 6 group starting in November. Would you like to join? I really do look after my lovely members: In return for a minimum spend of £25 per month over 6 months you'll get to choose what goes in your parcel each month, you'll get free full-colour, glossy catalogues packed with ideas, freebies of at least £25 at the end of the 6 months, handmade cards and gifts from me each month and as much coaching from me as you'd like. Book your place by emailing me here.

Here's what you'll need to make this card
Stamps: Perfectly Preserved, Itty Bitty Banners
Ink: Summer Starfruit, Stazon white
Card stock: Crumb Cake, Summer Starfruit, core'dinations Early Espresso
Other: Acetate, paper daisies, circle punches, Woodgrain embossing folder, Itty Bitty Banners and Cannery Set framelits, Big Shot, markers, Colour Spritzer tool

We had soup for lunch yesterday, which I served with crusty granary bread and little bowls of sliced salad vegetables, and I guess I'm not the only one in our family with a crafty streak...



Voila! My youngest son's radish and cucumber sculpture!

I'll be back tomorrow - perhaps with a Christmas card... after all, I'll be needing to actually send some of them in the post in 45 days!

  11. Hi Vicky. Love the rustic natural look to your card.

    Per your comment on my post, If you can get Hubby to agree, I can highly recommend the Glasshouse in Edinburgh and yes you do need to sit down re price but we were lucky to be there on an Itison deal! Much more manageable.
