Hello, and thanks for visiting today, just thought I'd share a very simple card that's nice and flat for the post. I bought this Tim Holtz Thinlits set from Ebay for about a third of it's normal price and it was new, such a bargain! I used the Tim Holtz Linen background stamp with Pumice stone DI and then spritzed with Tarnished Brass stain, added a piece of torn gold handmade paper before adding the die cut poinsettia.
That's another for the box, think I need to write them out as I know there's not nearly enough, and I'll need to buy some!
I am entering this at:
Stamping Sensations - Floral Fancies
Allsorts - CAS
Thanks for calling in, I do appreciate it, especially as I've been such an intermittent blogger of late, hopefully this will be a better week.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, the linen looks fabulous behind the Poinsettias. How wonderful to find nice dies at 1/3 the price :) Cheers, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card, the warm colours and air of elegance.
ReplyDeleteI resorted to some of my cards being shop bought this year, it was just impossiblel to make each and every card. I always promise myself to begin earlier in the year but I never do!
