Buttons or Pearls (DT) As You Like It Challenge

Well hellooo there Thursday!  Morning all, hope you are feelin' fine and dandy.

So, off we go with another challenge from AS YOU LIKE IT

and our theme for this one is

Buttons or Pearls (your favourite and why)

I like using both, buttons particularly for "younger" cards, but for a little bit of sophistication I think pearls just take the edge, particularly for feminine cards.

A simple card

Wild Rose Studio - Milton With Tulips which I have

watercolour painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Clearly Besotted - Laugh Out Loud

MFT leftovers from scraps box

and a good old fashioned sprinkling of pearls

AYLI (DT) Favourite Flower

Hello chaps, and welcome to another Thursday challenge with the girls at AS YOU LIKE IT

This time the theme is FAVOURITE FLOWER

For me, flowers are seasonal, I love daisies all year round, but there are certain flowers that fit the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter slots too.  For Spring, when the air is full of hope and promises, there is nothing like the splash of colour from the nodding heads of tulips to make you think everything is going to be just fine

For this card I have used

Wild Rose Studio - Milton with Tulips

Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

The word die is from W Plus 9 Design Studio "Sending Hoping Wishing" set and I have made a stack using two layers of kraft card for depth before adding the top layer

The gingham and polka dot papers are from My Favourite Things

and the matting layer is a sheet of First Edition

Die shape is Spellbinders Labels 18

I'm "hoping" that on this chilly January day, this has helped you feel a little more Springy!

Yay!

Morning all.  How are you?  I can't believe that it is already over halfway through my holiday week, sob.  Still, it has been a lovely and relaxing week, which is just what the doctor ordered, and I have managed to get some crafting done, not much, but some.

I could not resist this little guy from the latest Stamping Bella release

He is called "Milton"

Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Sentiment is from Paper Smooches and just seemed to match his expression so well

Papers are LOTV/Nitwits Butterfly Kisses

Hugs to all
