Simply Stampin'

It's a few weeks since I joined in over at Simply Stampin' so today I made a card just for their challenge - the theme being Lace.
I was having a rootle through my card stash when I came across some retired card stock in Almost Amethyst which I thought matched perfectly with one of the new In Colours - Concord Crush. What do you think?


My lace isn't SU but I did use one of the stamps from the Precious Butterflies Hostess Set along with a few flowers punched in the Boho Blossoms punch. Some small pearls finished them off.
My ink is also a retired colour - Sage Shadow and my image is stamped on to Very Vanilla card stock.

Wasn't it nice to see the sun today - hope you got some where you are.
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    I love to see retired stash still getting used, I always think it's a little sad when we have to say goodbye to crafty stash! The preciouse butterflies swirl looks great with your boho blooms!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
