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!
    Thanks for joining us this week at Simply Stampin'

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

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
