My new DT Postition

I've just been accepted on the DT for a new Digi Image blog, Ethereal Forest Designs I didn't hear from Darsie, so thought I'd not been lucky enough to be picked for their DT. I got an email just the other day, unforunately one of the DT had to give up her position due to health reasons and I was the next on the list. Why not pop over and become a follower, there are some really lovely images coming up.

A a close up of the stitching, I did machine stitching on the centre panel and faux stitching round the edges of the card.
I made the flower using a sizzix flower layer die, my favourite!

LGS on Craftbubble 13th February

This weeks it's Laurens turn to host the challenge over on Let's Get Stamping on Craftbubble, she gave us a lovely sketch and quite a different twist. We couldn't use a stamped image as our topper, we had to make something. But she wants to see stamping of some kind on the card.
As I make flowers for most of my cards, I thought I'd use them as my topper for a change, would never have thought to do this before though. My bit of stamping is the greeting.I inked up the flowers before putting them together, just dabbed them with the ink pad. I used a sizzix die. The papers are from Pink Petticoat.
