Hi friends.
Thanks for your lovely comments about my stress head yesterday.
Everything is hunky dory again thankfully.
Families eh! Who'd have 'em! LOL
Had a bit of an urge to craft this morning after seeing a video by France Martin HERE.
This is my take on it.....
I used some CS that I THINK is Pink Petticoat, but not 100% sure.
Gotta tell ya about those flower stamps, coloured with TH Distress marker 'Evergreen Bough'.
(Matches the CS perfectly)!
The sentiment is from a Verve set.
I used the marker to make the polka dots on the bottom flowers
and to shade the petals on the top flower.
Here's the stamp set!
You can see that the stamps are a good size
and on the reverse....
Ten mother of pearl buttons.
I got this set when I went to the Happy Stamper Show in May.
Not from Happy Stampers, but a little church hall across from the venue!!
It cost me £1.50!! BARGAIN!!
Hope you're having a lovely weekend in this glorious sunshine!
Back soon with another project!

This is gorgeous Viv! Different from what I normally see from you but this is a great style for you as well. That colour is soooo pretty and I love your design.
You keep getting better and better. Love the design of this. Obviously your stress from yesterday didn't hinder your mojo. Pretty colour too. I have some Verve sets and love their sentiments too.
This card is so lovely. I adore the color. Have never made a card like this but I think it's time to try. Such wonderful inspiration. Hugs, joann sassy raggedy
Flowers and polka dots - I'm happy :)
Beautiful card...love the design! The inking and coloring matches the card stock perfectly. Sweet job!

Very pretty card Viv, and I see you used some of your new linen card.
Love the colour combo.
Hopefully I'll be with you on Wednesday :o)

Wowwwwww that stamp and button set was a BARGAIN... those mother of pearl buttons are so expensive in the shops - and you got the stamps too! Love it! And of course, I love what you've done with the stamps.. that turquoise is just perfect for this card... and as you know, I'm dotty mad, so it suits me perfectly! I love the curve too.. don't tell me.. it was your cameo??
Big hugs

PS,,, am not going to read your yesterday's post which somehow I missed!
Wow to the fantastic bargain you got with that stamp/button set and wow to the lovely elegant card design!
I really love that shade of soft green :-)
Big hugs, Kat xx
Hmmmmf yes I did read the top of your post.... but I didn't click on the link - which must explain why I didn't see the 'curve' bit! LOL! And I just noticed that I typed NOT going to read... in stead of NOW going to read.... and in any case, I HAD!! OMG did you follow that?? I thought I'd missed something, and you know me for not liking to do that... but it turned out I hadn't! LOL! IRISH i KNOW! x
