Lots of Flowers

Hi all,

Been a bit of a rubbish week this week - hurt my back at work on Monday and had to go to hospital :( went in an ambulance and got to have gas and air woo!  Haha was an experience!  Waited at A&E for 5 hours just for them to give me painkillers and send me home.  Anyway, been in lots of pain and had to take the week off work to recover and heal, but it's meant I've managed to make loads of card yay :) most were orders from my mum and brother so I have to wait until they're given to post some of those.  I'm trying to get a stash of different cards made so I can sell some, but until I've got a decent amount, I can't take them anywhere!

Anyhow, today's card I actually made a while ago for a friend and it uses a mixture of Stampin Up! and generic stuff.  Hope you like it :)


Stamp Set: Silhouette Sentiments, Basic Phrases
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Versamark
Stampin' Pastels: Pink Pirouette
Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry
Punch: [All non-SU] Butterfly - 1" & 1/8", fancy heart border, 1/8" Flower
Accessories: Mini Brads, Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon

Some of you may be wondering why I used Versamark and Stampin' Pastels - well, I don't have any markers and I wanted to use my chalks because at the time they were new so I masked off the flowers on the stamp and just stamped the green, then used the stampamajig to then stamp the versamark in the right place.  I then chalked the flowers I wanted coloured.  Sounds like a lot of work for not all that much point?!  Yeah, well, I'm unlikely to do that again haha!

Til next time then!
Have a good week :)
Loves,
Ally
