Elaine's Special Day

Good Morning to you

Well, the weather has certainly brightened up since this morning but it's still very muggy here, I am working on my next tutorial for you at the moment so this will be a bit of a quick post today.
 I have a card to show you today which I made for my good friend Elaine's birthday last week, I used my favourite colour combo again Sahara Sand, Blushing Bride and Perfect Plum. This combo is from the Colour Coach, Love that little tool!

Flower brads old the end of the banner, pennants are from Party This Way and the Alphabet is Just Perfect,

This Blushing Bride Designer Series Paper is the In Colour Stack (page 91) and I made a Ribbon Rose with the matching Poly Twill ribbon and XL Fancy Flower punch,

And a little decoration inside,

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you tomorrow :-D

From a hat to a card

Good morning,

Well, first of all today, if you visited me at the craft fair ay Lyndhurst yesterday I would like to say a big Hello to you! it was great to meet you, I will be there the next two weeks too so please do pop in and say Hi of you are in the area, it is at Lyndhurst Community Centre, SO43 7NY.

Anyway, I needed another birthday card for yesterday and as I was flipping through my Tesco's mag I saw this hat and I knew I wanted to make a card using it as inspiration! Love the colours, love the layers, love the flower..

And here is my card, I totally used the picture inspiration literally to make this card..

I die cut 3 layers of each colour to make the flower very full adding a tempting turquoise {retired} button threaded with with 3mm taffeta ribbon,

Sentiment is from Party This Way, loving banners at the moment too, had you noticed?? lol! I finished the end with a Tab punch out with a pretty Flower Brad and Rhinestone

and inside I added a little Daisy too,

Well, that's it for today, I hope you like this card and if you need any of the (all SU!) supplies I have used here then please do contact me for more details,

Thanks for visiting me today,

Stampin' Hugs,
