Flowers

Good afternoon everyone. Welcome to my room . Just spoke to our Son in Roxby Downs and the temperature there is over 40 . I think it is that here too. I'm here thinking of Mina , who has often suggested that I could send some of our warm weather her way as it is snowing in her area . Well Mina please take it!!
I am so over hot ...
Any way , remember a few days ago when I said that I would like to try and add more embellishment to my cards . Here is another of my attempts to do just that .

 

recipe

SU retired card stock , Whisper White .

Dot embossing folder , Big Shot

Diecut, Movers and Shakers , Jim Holtz

Image 'spring is back' Sarah kay

Basic brown ink

Various Markers .

Border punch Fiskars

Stampin'dimensionals.

Flowers , green leaves , rhinestones and ribbon from my stash .

I think that it is harder to add more to C6 size cards than the larger square cards but I think I am getting the hang of adding bits .

Hope you like the card I share today .

catch you again soon , cheers Shirley-Anne
