Berry Bliss

Well here goes, the start of another week and another post. I hope you've all had a good weekend and were pampered and treated like a Queen on Mothers Day.

Today, I will be entering my card in for three challenges,

The colours are from Pals Paper Arts, 

the sketch from Paper Craft Crew,

and Make My Monday are looking for 

                  HEAT EMBOSSING

Here is my card

I randomly stamped the flower and word onto cream card in the three colours, then wrapped a ribbon around one end, and stuck this onto a cream card on which I'd coloured the border of Razzelberry. The flourish was stamped in ink, before I stamped over it with Versamark ( Using the Stamp-a-ma-jig of course!) and heat embossed it with clear powder.

Here is a closer view of the shiny embossing.

This flourish was cut with a Nestabilitie in the Big Shot and placed on the card on 3D pads. For the finishing touches I added a bow, the sentiment, and the butterfly which had also been heat embossed.

Supplies :
Card = Cream card and base FMS
Stamps = Bliss, and Verve sentiment
Inks = Rich Razzelberry, Calypso Coral, and Crumb Cake
Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Heat Gun
Extras = Clear EP, 3D pads, and ribbon


I had an unusual visitor waiting for me on my doorstep over the weekend, have a look

We've looked him up on the Internet and discovered that he's a common lizard found all over the Midlands and south of the UK. I just thank my lucky stars that he wasn't a tarantula, because if he had been I'd still be sat in the car!!! As it is, I'm not afraid of lizards, and I had to pick him up to move him, as I had triggered my security light, and the bright beam scared him stiff, literally. In case you think I'm being sexist, he is a male as their markings and colour are slightly different to the female. I'm going to call him Dusty, as I've put him in a cavity underneath my dustbin.

OK, enough of the Crazy Lady talk. Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you again soon
