A Rose By Any Other Name …..

This card measures 5ins x 5ins and is made using white linen effect card.

I’ve used  K & Co adhesive dimensional stickers sent to me from Florida by Dianne (a wonderful follower of both my blogs)

I particularly love K & Co packaging because usually the advertising bumpf/backing sheets can be cut down, then mat and layered   as I have done here.  The dragonflies are brass charms that I have had for ages and found on e-bay.

Three Organza Flower Cards

These cards were experiments after Marc sent me a parcel that included a bag of these very delicate organza flowers.

I’ve tried to keep them as “less is more” as I can, adding only brads and settings to each of the flowers, which were made up of four layers of flowers, some leaf effect ribbon and a scattering of tiny flat backed pearls.

I think my favourite is the top purple one.

Life’s To Short For Housework!

I got a pack of DoCrafts Born to Shop glitter rub on transfer stickers a while back, usually they are not my sort of thing  but I thought they were a bit different and would be good for making a quick card.  I've used the sticker of a lady and her laundry basket and although the packet also contained the same phrase and a washing line, I remembered another embroidered washing line patch  I've had for ages and this was a chance to finally use it.

I always write on a card with trepidation, especially in this case when I had already applied the rub on, but it's turned out OK and I have managed to position my writing just right.

It’s a pity that the rub-on wasn’t repeated in the packet as I have another washing line and would have liked to have made another card the same, oh well.

Sorry about the pictures, they are a bit dark.
