Fabulous florals please !

Good morning hope you are all well. I seem to have caught the bug which Issac had last week so I’m not feeling too hot unfortunately !

And I have spent hours on the phone to technicians who don’t seem to be able to get my Internet connection sorted – it’s driving me crazy - actually I am typing this in word on my computer as I can’t get online – ahhhhhhhhhh !

As well as all that my printer doesn’t want to work either so I can safely say that I’ve had better weeks !!

Anyway onwards and upwards !!

Well today is Wednesday so it is of course it is time for the new challenge over at the creative cottage challenge blog x

This week it was my turn to choose our theme and I chose fabulous florals – so we want to see those flowers especially if you’ve pushed the boat out and made them yourself !

For my card I have used a DP from the gorgeous poppy delights paper kit available here at the creative cottage store - just £1.99 for 12 digi papers !

I added some bling swirls which I have been saving for a special card ! My flower was made using the spellbinders dahlia die and a habitat store bag which I have also been saving with this flower in mind – I love the natural look it lends and I love using recycled items on my craft projects. I have used a tri-colour brilliance ink pad to give the flower a pearlescent sheen

The sentiment is a rubber stamp from do crafts I’ve had it ages and love it and that beautiful butterfly is a metal accessory that I got from a local floristry trade store.

I would also like to add this card to the following challenges;

Digital Tuesday - Use a die cut

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Putting on the glitz

Bunny Zoes Crafts - Spring flowers everywhere

Paper Sundaes - Flowers and distressing (both on the flower)

Pile It On - Use some plaid

Quirky Crafts - Recycled romance

Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Make your own embellishment

Paper Issues - Birds, bee's and butterflies

Well thanks for stopping by I do hope you will join in with us at the creative cottage challenge blog this fortnight - I can't wait to see your blooming creations !
