Falling Flowers falling together

Don't you just love it when a card comes together quickly without too much rearranging? I have been working very hard to clear a lot of thos 'bits and pieces' off my work area. I am a bit of a chaotic crafter and always end up with extra bits left over from projects  - which I struggle to throw away.!!!!
So this card actually used up 8 elements ( including a stamped envelope) which were left over from other projects and it all just fell together.
I am really glad I purchases the Falling Flowers set as it is truly lovely - nicer than the catalogue would suggest. I hope you get a chance to play with it sometime. the matching Framelits are brilliant, especially the large Dahlia, and I'll have more fancy fold cards to show you this week using it too.
Having said that, this set would work well as just the stamps on their own.

I do love the leaves from the Fabulous Flora set stamped along the edge of the card like this. It's a technique I used a lot for Onstage. they are then painted with the Aqua Painter.




and I have a special friend in mind for this card too which is even better.

thanks for looking, Liz

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
