Pressing The Embelly Button

Now, you know me and embellys - they don't naturally go together, so you can imagine how I must have been feeling when I had the sudden and desperate urge to use some flowers.  This is a direct side effect of inhaling too much of the steam from cooking cabbage apparently!

 

 

This Uptown Girl is Fiona Loves Flowers from Stamping Bella

Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers) with a few Polychromos for her hair

Dies are from MFT (oval) and Tonic (scalloped rectangle)

Sentiment is Personal Impressions

Wood effect paper from Joy Craft

Flower from Wild Orchid Crafts

Pearls from stash

 

See, I even sat and fiddled with curling the wires on the flower stems,

I feel all lightheaded now.

 

Have a super day

Hugs to all

Happy 21st

Own up, who likes cake?  Who likes a really big cake?  Who would like a cake nearly as tall as they are?

 

Well yeah, I think we have all dreamt of a cake like that but actually faced with it we might feel a bit differently about it, lol.

 

This is a commissioned 21st birthday card - one of my ladies from Church, Doreen, asked for "something young" for her granddaughter, and what could be more young than an Uptown Girl!

 

So this is Bianca Loves Her Big Cake (Uptown Girls) from Stamping Bella

Painted in Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Papers are my new favourites from LOTV/Nitwits - Country Meadow

LOTV sentiment

Lots of Nestabilities dies - oval, scalloped oval, circles, and flower

Wild Rose Studio - Corner Flourish die

8x8 card base

 

and for the inside, another piece of that pretty paper, and I have simply stamped Opal The Optimist (with her champagne of course), and a Paper Smooches celebrate sentiment

 

I am so confused over the days this week - how can a four day week at work feel like a fortnight?  I might eventually suss it out in time for the weekend.  Just so long as I don't turn up at the office on Saturday morning!!

 

Hugs to all
