Being off work sick has its good side

Here I am with a horrible cold feeling a bit sorry for myself but hey, I am still able to make cards.
I have made a card that I think is one of my favorites. I got the template from Sara Sandberg.

Hope you are staying dry

Well it is certainly blustery & wet at the moment. The forcast for tornados is a bit of a worry! The good thing about bad weather is that you have a good excuse to go to the craft room and have a play.
I have made a flower from some scrap brown paper and gold spritz spray. I found the idea on Valita's fresh folds & it uses brown paper from Stampin Up parcels.
I used the SU scallop edge punch and cruched the paper. After the spritz has dried, ink the edges and there it is! Quite easy and really effective. Give it a try.
Here is an easal card for my daughter in law.

Flowerpot card

Well, here is my first uploaded picture. I really enjoy making the flowerpot card. It can be as simple or as decorative as you like. I played about using Stampin Up shimmer paint. I love glitter & sparkles so anything that adds shimmer is great.
I have discovered I need some more softer coloured cardstock, I cant believe I have run out of SU rich razzleberry!!! Not a soft colour but one of my favorites =)
Happy stamping & scrapping
