Floral Essence Black & Gold

Gold embossed images from the Floral Essence stamp set combined elegantly with the
Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper that's FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration

When I first saw the Annual Catalogue, I immediately knew that I had to purchase the Perennial Essence Suite - its beauty captivated me.

The Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper has been my go to paper since it arrived and the coordinating Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon has decorated many of my cards.

But, here's the strange thing, I'd never used the Floral Essence stamp set, Floral Centres or Perennial Flower Punch until this week!  It's incomprehensible!

So I found myself on two quests: use as much Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration) as possible and use the Floral Essence stamp set!

Et voila!  Some Versamark, gold embossing powder, a heat tool and a bit of judicious masking was all that it took.  I did use a different stamp set for the greeting though.

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

A versatile card featuring the Free As A Bird stamp set, Painted Labels Dies and the gorgeous Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper that's FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a qualifying purchase

Well, I'll admit it - I cheated a bit for this card and CASEd one of my own cards!  But I'm very happy with result as I think it's quite versatile - I think it would make a good birthday card for either a male or a female recipient.

I stamped and watercoloured the bird and then cut it out using a Layering Circle die and the Out Of The Box technique (to free his tail).

The gold swirl is cut with one of the Painted Labels Dies (part of the Painted Poppies Bundle).

I sponged the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (FREE with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration) with Bermuda Bay ink.

Thank you so much for joining us today and we hope you'll join us again next month when our theme will be "Thank You".
