FANCY FOLD WITH FLOWERS

Hi everyone

Such a very cold day again here with not a glimmer of sunshine but I am sure Spring is on its way somewhere!   Come on Spring, where are you?

Today I have a card to share which I have made following the theme of shaped card.  I opted to make a Gatefold card but I always struggle with the photos.  I have used another Hobby House Topper bearing an image created by Sylvia Zet.  I just love these images and as the toppers were a gift I am using them, and loving every minute of it!

WHIMSY METAL AND GDT

Hi again 

I have a card here to share which I made using one of the lovely Toppers bearing this lovely image created by Sylvia Zet.  I just love Sylvia's artwork, she always goes the extra mile with everything she creates, as does the very talented Design Team for Whimsy, which is what has inspired me to apply for the GDT post for April. 

Have you seen the new image just released by Sylvia Zet?  Oh my, another lovely one!  Her Design Team have coloured it up lovely also.  And there are other releases too on the Whimsy Blog I spy, all very lovely.  To get to play with such lovely images, would really be the icing on the cake for the lucky person to be selected for Guest Designer.

So, the card:

Doiley and charm form Ebay
Edges distressed and inked.
Machine Stitching
 Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
Ribbon from Live and Love Crafts
Charm from EBay
Everything else from my stash


I would also like to enter this into the Whimsy 'Add Some Metal' challenge

FLOWERS AND PEARLS

Hi everyone

First of all, just a quick heads up.   Papertake Essentials Magazine Issue 91 is due out on the 14th of this month, and there is a lovely free gift included this time.  It is a lovely Butterflies Embossing Folder.  I received my copy today as I have another article in it.

I have a card I would like to share tonight which I made using this lovely Sarah Kay image which has been coloured by a very dear friend of mine.

I made another card focusing on a different shape.  I am going through a phase of feeling I need to try something a little more challenging than my normal square cards you see, and actually I am enjoying it too.
