Dynamic Duos #61

Hello there, another quick post from me as it`s absolutely baking in the loft today. Not that I`m complaining, we`ve waited long enough for some decent weather. I hope you are all enjoying it while it lasts.

I`m joining in at Dynamic Duos this week. It`s ages since I last participated and the colours for this week are lovely, take a look.

Here is my entry,

Dp is from Kameo Cards but I think they`ve stopped trading now.
I cut out a Spellbinders Floral Oval in pale pink card and placed it using foam pads.
The Cherry Blossom flowes are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I`ve cut the leaves using a Memory Box die and some sand coloured DP from Papermania Capsule Collection.
I`ve added some pale pink stamen to some of the leaves and dotted some flat back pearls around the card.
The sentiment is PC generated and cut with a fishtail.

Right, thats me done. I`m in danger of melting into pool on the floor :)

Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx

Birthday Wishes

Good afternoon all!

I hope I find you well and happy. Not too soggy in this terrible rainy weather? For a couple of days I really thought summer had turned up, just goes to show.
I`ve been in a really strange mood this week, sort of...blah! Not sure if it`s post holiday blues or what but it`s playing havoc with my mojo. I keep getting the urge to make a card but then can`t come up with an original idea at all.So I`ve Cased one.
I`ve been stalking following Debbie from Lime Doodle for a while now, she really is the Queen of CaS and has some fabulous designs. My card is made using This card as inspiration.

 I`ve changed the EF and the colour of the panel. I used a flower instead of a bow but the overall design is the same.
My flower is made using lots of layers of black tissue paper, cut out with a nestie scalloped circle, scrunched up and then prized(?) apart again, all held together with a gorgeous pink sparkly brad.
I`ve added a piece of thin ribbon in black too.
The sentiment is a mix of Layers of Color (birthday) and Waltzing Mouse (wishes).

A close up of the sparkly brad. Not the best piccy I`m afraid.
After I`d made this card I realised I could enter it into this weeks Dynamic Duo`s #7 which is Melon Mambo, black and an option of ribbon.

I`m going to have to hurry though as the challenge closes soon.
