Embellished Florals in White

Just before I came back to the UK I caved and bought the Embellished Floral cartridge for my Cricut. I had resisted it because the handbook shows really hideous combinations of colours, and it wasn't until I had a good look and imagined the cuts done in tonal shades, that I realised that the cuts really were very pretty, so for this card I rebelled totally against the strong colours and used all white......................

Butterfly cut at 3" - I wanted it BIG and I added texture with a swiss dots embossed layer, and added lots and lots of pearls (oops, just noticed the pearls from the antennae have slipped). The butterfly was cut from white pearlised card which has a subtle sheen
The base card is by Craftwork Cards, and the sentiment label was cut using Elegant Edges, and a Stampin Up stamp

I have had such a busy weekend with the children - yes, I took lots of photos but haven't had a chance to edit them yet. Kiki danced beautifully bless her, the babies greeted me joyfully so they hadn't forgotten me, and Max immediately wanted a trip to the park (in the pouring rain....), so all was well
I do hate driving in London though. It's a very nippy sort of place - people nip in and out of lanes, zipping in front of you and behind you. I need to go on a nippy course, I dither and miss the moment, so dither even more, indicator blinking madly - giving rise to the dreaded London toot. They are great tooters down there, hesitate for a moment and they all start tooting their horns like mad. So I drove, and dithered, and in a cacophony of toots found my way around, and eventually, exhausted, back home
See you tomorrow

  22. Gorgeous Enfys! Just gorgeous. I've not seen that cartridge. So I'm off to check it out. Elegant edges is on my wish list. So this one will probly be too. Thank you very much! lol I can imagine what driving is like in London. I've said for years that SC drivers are some of the worst I've ever known. If it rains it's like 'just add water and you get instant idiot!' I often wonder where these people got their drivers license's .. I'm waiting for the new pix of the kiddies. Hugs, Jessica

  23. Stunning card, this puts a really different perspective on the Embellished Florals Cart.
    Have been born in London I learnt to drive there and it is the one thing I am thankful for about the place lol. Now when my son asks for a lift back to the Household Cavalry Barracks I really don't mind and quite enjoy the rat race of the traffic because compared to East Anglia where everyone drives at 20mph it is a like a thrill ride!!!
