Two new cards - Easter

I made these two cards yesterday. I've used the free stamps from the April issue of 'Cardmaking and Papercraft'. I've coloured in the images using watercolours. For the top card I've used acetate as the base card and placed a piece of green paper directly behind the front so it covers the double sided tape. For the bootom card i've added the same flower paper inside the card for the insert and added the butterfly embellishments - with out them the card looked quite plain.

Been having a play with..

The ribbon tool which i got on Saturday. Made two flowers -well one looks like a flower not so sure about the other one.

Good Weekend

I had a good weekend (well Saturday!) My mum and I had a girlie day out in Glasgow, where we went to the Creative Stitches and Hobbycraft Show at the SECC. We had a fab time looking round all the stalls. Got so many ideas for cardmaking. I picked up a few goodies. I got - a clear away tray, some Flower Soft (Sweet Pea) , a Decoupage sheet, a ribbon stripper for doing this, and also a counted cross stitch called 'Weekend in Paris'.
They also had this cool 'Kinitted Gingerbread House' there. It was very impressive all the details they had thought of. You read more about it here .
