Bon Voyage

Just a very simple one today, but I think it looks a little classy - Less is more as they say.   Pearlised card stock with some paper, ribbon, flower and large pearl from a recent docrafts goodybag.  Sentiment created with card candi stamped using Craftwork Cards mini alphabet stamps made to go with the candi, and a few little pearls from my stash.

Made for my young hairdresser who is having a year out travelling in Asia and Australasia!

Thanks for looking

Chocolate and Cream

Chocolate and cream seems to be my favourite colour scheme this year.  Most of the elements, including the card, came from a Craftwork Cards Goodybag purchased at Farnborough, plus some lovely chocolate ribbon that was around a pressie for OH at Christmas, which has found its way into my stash!  Craft candi centre was from my stash.

The pearlised flowers and the scalloped frame were diecuts in the goodybag, and although you can't see it I have used some of the pretty chocolate paper behind the flower.  I ran the frame through a new purchase yesterday, which I bought half-price in a little craft shop at a local tearooms.  It is a bit like the crinkle rollers you buy - only it has impressed hearts - think this may become a favourite tool, and quicker than getting the cuttlebug out!

If I knew how to enter a card I would enter this for a less is more challenge!

Chocolate!

My niece was raving about something incredibly "chocolatey" she had eaten the other day on FB - which inspired this simple chocolate card for her.

Ivory hammered card stock, chocolate and gold ribbon.  Image and chocolates from MCS.  Image is mounted on some gorgeous craftwork cards papers in ivory and chocolate, and mounted on foam tape, as are the chocolates.   The photo doesn't do the chocolates justice - they look good enough to eat!



Male birthday card (tongue in cheek!)

Made this card for husband of very good pal - think he may kill me when he gets it!   As the "chop chop" quote is a standing joke between us!  Hope he has got a sense of humour!

Cardstock - hammered ivory card.  Image is from Joanna Sheen Vintage Hollywood, mounted on to cream and chocolate paper from craftwork cards.  Same chocolate paper used at base with the cream paper threaded through it and ivory candi added, and also a craftwork cards sentiment.
