New York Socialite

Sometimes I like to visit old friends and that is exactly how I feel about this stamp, no matter what I do with it I always end up with something nice it is made by Stamps Happen and is called New York Socialite. The backing papers used is a silk screen scrapbook paper and is double sided made by Papermania.
I stamped the image using coffee bean brilliance ink and watercoloured the image with distress ink.

Floral Punch Craft - Clematis

the base card was stamped using Autumn Leaves Flourish stamps and Plum Pudding ink by PTI then I scored the lines on the bottom half with the Scor-Pal board.
Using the long Nestabilities I cut out the rectangle base for the flower and stamped with PTI sentiment and flourish and added a couple of gems.
I then glued the scalloped shape directly onto the card and wrapped the ribbon around the centre of the card then added the plain rectangle with foam pads.
Last but not least I made the floral punch craft Clematis and added it to the front of the card.

Punches used;
Mega giant Dahlia, large daisy, medium sparkles, small sparkles, mini sun & large oak leaf

A Baby Girl Card

A new Baby Girl Card for my Niece and her Husband
Stamped, glittered and Cuttlebugged.

This is the Little Lady herself Jasmine, I've not yet seen her in the flesh as I don't want to take any of my germs anywhere near her so my Daughter took her card and present for me and took some snap shots so at least I could coo.
