CAS-ual Friday - Baby Blossoms

Today, I've a day off and thought I'd try the CAS-ual Friday challenge - Week 51 - Happy Birthday (http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.co.uk/).

Last week I started playing with SU Baby Blossoms, and was aiming for the pink/blue effect that I used in the centre of this card.  The blue and pink is such a nice colour combination - reminiscent of a summer day.

The flowers in the centre, are actually on the inside of the card, and were embossed in clear EP, and the blue was sponged on top.   The border, was cut from two layered nesties using the same coloured card with a bit more texture, which was sponged in blue and green.

This weekend is a long weekend, with a bank holiday monday, have a lovely weekend.

Baby Blossoms

Home alone again, daughter at work and hubby doing various chores for his Dad.  It was meant to be hoovering, washing and ironing.

Yesterday, I tried to make a card with SU Baby Blossoms, and it was bugging me, that I couldn't get it quite right.  I couldn't decide whether to buy these stamps, as they were so fiddly, but in the end I gave in to the cute roses and forget me nots.  However, for months, every time I look in my cupboard for inspiration, they look back with reproach as they never come out to play.  Eventually I've given in. So today, I used the LIM sketch and tried a different idea.

I think I may need more practise to get the position of flowers and leaves just right, and to ensure I don't spoil the effect by stamping in the wrong colour (joys of layering stamps).  Or maybe use for gift tags.
