Yellow Roses for Mother's Day

I never used to like shaped cards, it was one of those sign and "put your big girl panties on" challenges. But I treated myself to a set of the new XCut Large Nesting dies and now here I am completely voluntarily making a shaped card! I'm loving how easy it is to make the card look "finished" without sitting there staring at the awkward space in the corner wondering what will fill it.

Madame Payraud's Autumnal Fairy

Distress style projects are not normally my forte so I was a bit phased when the Madame Payraud's range arrived in stock. I let it sit on the shelf for a while until inspiration struck.

It started with the DoCrafts Enchanted Challenge - Shades of Brown, an excuse to buy myself a paper pack, then a sketch from Creative Inspirations and I was away! I just kept adding more and more embellishments from the range, creating lots of different layers and textures.

I'm so glad I invested in these flower and leaves dies, I did uhm and ahh for a while but I was getting bored with my simple daisy punch. It's great to have such a wide range of petals to choose from. These weird looking fantasy style flowers were just the thing for this project.
