Flower Power

Morning Crafty People

Today I have a card for you that I have created using various different techniques. 

I am not 100% on the flower but it is my first attempt of making this type of flower it turned out a bit bigger then I realised and by the time I had noticed it was stuck fast to the card. 

Hay Ho that's what crafting is all about tho isn't it? trying new things things and seeing how to make them better next time.

I treated myself to a couple of new things this week mainly using up some of my Christmas pennies that I had left over. 

I treated myself to a set of the Grand Nestabilities Label 1 - The card with these used on will be up next week.  Then I popped to my local craft shop to to see what he had new in (he is always tempting me with new things) any way in I go not really wanting anything and then I come out with a set of A2 Curved Labels One Borders by spellbinders and Oh my goodness I LOVE them, they make such a beautiful design to the the card.

I love this card colouring the dark green with the pastel purples and blue really make me feel like it is a spring card perfect for a spring anniversary, and the bit of glitter I put in the center of the flowers gives it a fab shimmer to the card.

Anyway enough of me rambling on here is the card. 

Some of you may have seen it on my twitter account as I put a sneaky peak on there earlier in the week. 

The Card

 The Flower

To make the flower I used my circut machine and the cartridge Flower Shoppe.
