More Cards Received

I got another two cards recently and meant to blog them earlier but this lethargy of mine just got in the way and I was enjoying seeing them in the window along with the others.

Here is the one from Carol Q


Hope the dry embossing shows up on your screen as it is quite striking and looks perfect with those flowers at the base.  I would never have thought to use patterned paper like that but it works so well that I might just have to try it.  Of course, one needs the die (is it a die Carol?) for it to really work.

The second is another from Sam


Another of her delightful characters from Stampotique.  Love the way she has coloured this one in and enhanced the Kraft paper she has used.  The touches of orange in the dress are picked up in the flower in the top corner.

Apart from wanting more of these stamps myself I think I will have to hunt out my Kraft paper and get using it a bit more, it is a really nice weight (think it is 300 gsm) and works so well - bet it works with PP's.

So there you are - I may not have anything made myself but I can share the lovely work of my friends.
