Printed Petals Workshop

What fun we had with the Printed Petals stamp set and matching roller Petite Petals. We started the evening off by making the top card, a simple stepper card that even I can do (and now my ladies can do too).

We then moved on to the chocolate, none of us ate it (though I was tempted to open one bar so we could sample it!). We wrapped it up beautifully, this makes a 5 for £1.29 bar look so much more than it is.

Next I challenged everyone to make a similar card to the first, but to do thier own thing and here's what we came up with. Mine is the first, the rest are my ladies', they came up trumps with some lovely designs. Well done ladies!!

You might have noticed that a rollered some Very Vanilla to make a border, but it's in Pretty in Pink and Rich Razzleberry. This is because I purchased an uninked cartridge, but it's sponge was in 2 halves. I decided to ink each half in 2 very different colours, You can buy 3 cell cartridges that you can ink in whatever combination you want, but this was an unexpected bonus!!

Thanks for another great night ladies!!

Take care,

Sweet and Sour Cards

After the last team training event (thanks for hosting it Steph), I was well and truly inspired by Jayne's swap. It was gorgeous and she told us all how to make one. It sounded simple but I wanted to give it a go.

So the next day, as soon as Hubby was watching the Grand Prix and Ben was playing Star Wars, I sneaked into my cupboard to try and create one for myself. Here are the 2 cards I created and they were a lot easier to make than I thought they'd be.

I started off with the stunning Sweet and Sour DSP. Rose Red and Pumpkin Pie is not a colour combo I'd have thought of, but it works!

Jayne is going to be my room buddy at convention this year (can't wait) and I can tell we are going to have such a ball! She's so lovely and super talented, better get my thinking cap on for convention swaps as we only have 3 months to go (did I tell you I can't wait?).

Take care,
