Beautiful You in Black and White

Today is a slight change to the planned programme, ! I had planned to publish a video on the Botanical Butterfly papers and examples i made. Then I realised that the pictures I had taken of the items were odd, I am not sure what my camera was doing but all the words are all blurry. I have not had chance to work out what went wrong or retake the pictures, so instead I wanted to show the gorgeous card I made using one of my favourite sets.

I have loved the Beautiful You stamp set since I won it at a Stampin’ Up! event. There are so many gorgeous ideas on Pinterest using this set and that it matches with lots of different sets. I decided to go simple with this card, using Whisper White and Basic Black. I used a ‘missing you’ sentiment from the stunning Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set. I added a bit of bling, with the Black Mini Sequin Trim. I think it rounds off the card perfectly but is not too over the top.

This could be done in so many different colours. Do you have a favourite colour to use for Beautiful You cards?

Gorgeous Stampin' Up! Daisy Birthday

I have been making example cards over the last few weeks. I have been using some of my favourite items from the catalogue. One of these is the Delightful daisy suite, I love it. I have loved it since I first saw it at 'OnStage' in April. I love abstract patterns, my favourite papers last year was the Blooms and Bliss, this paper reminds me of that. The swirlsand colours add to the beauty of the leaves. I think that the colours are not what you expect and that they give you so many colours to choose from. I love Pool Part and Soft Sky, I have always been a blue, person I think I get it from my mother she always seems to be drawn to blue. I used the stamp set from Beautiful You. It contains some gorgeous sentiments.
