Been a bit busy. . .

Canberra was awesome! We had the best time and met heaps of talented and inspirational people.  I can't wait for Convention 2013 which will be a little closer to home in Brisbane. If you would like to join me, let me know and I can suggest some methods of saving.

My friend Jayne celebrated a special birthday yesterday and put on a lavish spread for her friends and family. I made her a special card and hope that she enjoyed her party.
So the card was a little larger than usual ~ I had a lot to say inside! Fifth Avenue Floral is a big favourite of mine and it is due to be retired at the end of this Ideas Book & Catalogue.  I stamped the roses on Whisper White card stock in Versamark and heat embossed using white embossing powder.  I then wet the whole image and placed a few drops of Cherry Cobbler re-inker in the centre and let it bleed with the moisture to over the whole flower.  I love this effect.

Also wanted to mention the beautiful ribbon idea which is a combination of Victorian Lace, Very Vanilla and Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and Very Vanilla Grosgrain ribbon - the amazing Teresa Dabrowski prompted us to use our ribbon off cuts like this in one of her workshop wows in Canberra.

Back later

    Stunningly stylish Shanni!! I love this set too. I love seeing the way you find so many ways to create with it. The embossed flowers are so beautiful and I love the ribbon and lace combo.

    Thank you for sharing with us at Make It Monday this week.

    We missed you while you were knee deep in swaps for convention.
