Even so I managed to come up with something. Much as I love flowers this is way too flowery for my liking and a bit OTT but all I could think to do with time running out was fill up the space with flowers. I was actually too tired to take a proper photo of this card last night (I've promised myself an early night tonight so this will be a shorter post than usual) so I grabbed some quick shots this morning before heading out the door for work.
Hubby said it HAD to have '70' on it somewhere and after frantically searching high and low I managed to locate my PTI number dies. It drives me mad that I don't have use of my craft room right now and that I can never find anything I want, when I want!
And I even prettied up the envelope to match. One of the things I've discovered I LOVE about stamping with these fabby flower designs is the different look they have when you take a Pro Marker to them. I even used a Pro Marker on the inner and outer edges of my stamped label. This was a pastel beige coloured pen. The flowers on the card are stamped, then cut out and layered onto the card. The ones on the envelope are stamped directly onto it and I used a mask of the larger flower so I could stamp leaves and smaller flowers around it.
I am soooo lovin this flower - I think it has to be my favourite ever of WMS flowers. I have lots of ideas rolling around in my head whenever I look at it.
I didn't put an asking price on this card and just left it up to the gal who ordered it to pay what she felt she wanted to. Hubby handed me £4 this evening which was a lovely surprise. I know I wouldn't have put that much on it if it was left up to me. And today at work the girlies liked my 'Orla Keiley' style cards so I might make a few of them over the weekend to take in and sell Monday. It would be kinda nice to get back the money I just shelled out on my new stamps huh?
Well I'm off to Bedfordshire for an early night. Hope you see something that inspires you to craft.
Nighty, night!
