Welcome to yet another wonderful ESAD blog hop!
I am so lucky to be in this group of talented demonstrators (friends) and I hope that you enjoy all our projects using new products from the current Annual Catalogue.
It has been a pretty sad couple of weeks in our family with the passing of my husbands grandfather (my childrens great grandad)
I have been creating for family members some sympathy cards.
Later in the week one of my school mum friends sadly lost her brother so I also made her a card too.
All four cards together
These cards are quick and easy to replicate and the four cards only used two of the 6x6 sheets of the Garden Impressions DSP.
Firstly I covered the background of the card and the strip that was left over was flipped over and used in the centre of the next card.
The pretty floral die makes a gorgeous background on the last card pictured.
The second card just had a flower stamp randomly stamped around the background for a bit of depth to the card.
I had a little brown box of amazing goodness arrive two weeks ago with the new colour revamp inkpads along with the matching cardstock and a new stampset and DSP stack.... I had to play with it all as it is gorgeous!
I am on holidays from Tuesday so I will be having a little break with my family.
I am really looking forward to the time out as May really wasn't a good month for us in many ways.
