In the Frame

By
I've been having a play with some new stash today - my Pleasant Poppies stamp. It's huge but gives a beautiful crisp image nevertheless. I also added just a bit of colour with a So Saffron Stampin' Write marker. Yellow poppies remind me of my Mum's garden in the summer - it's literally festooned with yellow and orange Welsh poppies.
As I am entering this into the Less is More 'Frame It' challenge I added a die cut frame using my Window Framelits dies.
I will also be entering this week's challenge over on the Dynamic Duos blog


Here is my card


And a close up


Materials: Stampin' Up
Stamps: Pleasant Poppies
Ink: Black Stazon, So Saffron (marker), Basic Black (marker)
Card Stock: Whisper White
Accessories: Windows Framelits, Big Shot (yes I have one now!!), Dimensionals, White Gel Pen.
(Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like to order any of the above products - all my details are in the top tabs)

Thanks for stopping by today - hope you are enjoying your weekend. I was in a really good mood yesterday especially after Wales won the rugby, wasn't it a good match?
My husband is dragging me out later to a local club to hear some St Patrick's Day music - hope I like it!!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    These poppies look really good in that colour and the frame really sets them off well.

    Hi Jacqueline, I see you're not a million miles away as I live in Birmingham. I love Malvern and wouldn't say no to a cottage on the hillside! Love your card, so stylish and elegant. Have a happy Sunday, Jo x

    Ooh I love the colour, makes the Poppies look so elegant and beautiful. I only just used this colour myself last night with Perfect plum on the little notelets and have to say that the So Saffron has just been added to another ink favourite!! xxx

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...
