I hope you have had a lovely bank holiday weekend! My husband was working on Saturday so I met up with my friend Mitchell for a cheeky hog roast roll and crackling at our local butchers then I met up with my friend Jaci in Taunton and went to the cinema to watch Guardians of the Galaxy (such a funny film!).
Yesterday, my husband Phil and I went to Bath for the afternoon for a spot of shopping and finished the day with a lovely meal at Jamie's Italian. Of course the British Weather couldn't last so thankfully we planned a day at home today.
I am going to head up to my craft room soon to spend a few hours playing with my new Christmas supplies! In a few days time, the new Autumn Winter Catalogue will be available so keep an eye on my blog for all the details and sneak peeks of the products.
I hope you like my project today. Its a set of thank you cards that I sent out recently. The edges of the white cardstock have been distressed and the flowers and butterflies have been placed randomly to give this a more relaxed feel.
I used Blackberry Bliss and Wisteria Wonder for the card on the left and Island Indigo and Soft Sky for the card below.
I used the stamp set Gorgeous Grunge for the background stamping and the Bitty Butterfly, Petite Petals & Itty Bitty Accents Punch for flowers and butterflies.
I punched out the larger of the two flowers onto whisper white cardstock and sponged the edges with the two colours I was using for each design. I just love this effect.
The butterflies and small flowers were punched out onto coloured cardstock, using the darker of the two colours.
I then used Rhinestones & Pearls to add some interest to the centre of the flowers and butterflies.
I added a sentiment to the front of the card from the And Many More stamp set. I choose the word Cheers..... but you could choose any sentiment you wish!
To finish, I then decorated the inside of the cards using the Papillon Potpourri and Lots of Thanks Stamp Sets.
I would be thankful if you could leave me a comment to let me know what you think of these cards and also what you have been doing this August Bank Holiday weekend?
Beautiful cards, but what's gorgeous grunge? xx
ReplyDeleteHi, thank you for your comment. Gorgeous Grunge is the name of a stamp set from Stampin' Up! which I am a demonstrator for. If you scroll up and click on the first picture of the supplies I have used, it will take you to my shop which will provide a little bit more information on the stamp set x
