Hello friends
Happy Monday to you all!
I had completely forgotten to share this card with you, created a month or so ago for
Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine.
It is what I call a 'panel card'. Panels of patterned paper matted onto cardstock and then just a few embellishments. The sentiment is stamped and inked onto Lacey Ovals.
I was asked yesterday what paper I use that looks like hessian. I can confirm it is from Glitz Design and called French Kiss - all of the collection is gorgeous! Hold onto your purses if you go shopping for it.
I managed to get quite a lot done in my studio over the weekend which feels satisfying.
I even squeezed in a visit to Bluewater to sort out setting up Wi-Fi in the studio - I now have a nifty little gadget that means I can connect my iPad there and a further four other devices if I need to.
It is portable too so I'm going to see how it deals with a commute to London.
I can now reply to emails quicker when I'm out and about because typing them out on my phone
always takes a little longer.
Hope you all had a good weekend.
Take care.
morning Christine - fab card - just shows how different the dies look with fancy papers - I am guilty of using a bit too much plain colours.

Hi Christine - this card is lovely - a simple design (if you don't mind me saying) but looks so good with these papers. I think those flowers are glorious.
ReplyDeleteThose hessian papers are beautiful - I think I would just sit stroking them though - not sure I could bring myself to use them!!!!! LOL
Hugs to you
