How can we get out??

OK, here's my flowersoft card which I cased from a lady called Jak , mine is a bit different I hope. Thank you so much Jak, I just love this card.

My reindeer faces aren't as dark and I've used an EK Success punch which fits in the middle of the small oval and large oval from SU.
I used my Martha Stewart branch punch for their antlers, 1/4"circle punch for eyes and noses with little black peel off dots for pupils of their eyes. Right at the end I added Crystal effects on their noses for shine. I also used Crystal Kindyglitz for my snow. The Polar White flowersoft is gorgeous. The cuttlebug embossing folder I used is called Distress Stripes and I just ran my new Rich Cocoa memento ink pad all over the strips.

I did add half circles for their bodies but they are covered in snow.

I do feel my reindeer faces are a bit light but in real life they do look ok.
Thanks for looking.

Flowersoft

Good afternoon all,
I've been playing with my flowersoft. Love it. The two bicycle cards are toppers that Katy Sue Designs make to compliment Flowersoft, all that has to be done is to add your own flowersoft colours, mat and embellish, voila, you're done. As you can see I've used different colours on both cards and I'm really pleased with them.

The bottom card was an experiment with apeture cards, in this case, holly. Again I'm really happy with the way it came to life especially after adding peel offs and bling. Ignore the bits of green dots, I had already sealed the bag so had to take the photograph through the plastic.

These cards are for Anne's display in her shop. It was quite a challenge because I had to stick to using items that Anne has for sale which restricted me somewhat, being used to having all of my stash at my disposal.

ETA: The Holly leaf card is simple I know, but after listening to customers in Anne's shop one day, there are quite a few people who like simple and this card I know will appeal to quite a few of the older people who make cards and but want to keep expenses down and still be effective.

I have made another flowersoft card for myself and I absolutely love it. Will put that one up later. It has to dry first before I can photograph it.
Still no rain here and with the wind blowing, it's like watching everything go brown to browner before your very eyes. The fog at 5.30 this morning was so thick. Sure sign of a hot day and yep, it's definitely a hot one.
Thanks for looking,

Thatched cottage

My friend Jan requested a special card for her sister's birthday. So here is the result. I used my PSX thatched cottage stamp. I absolutely love this stamp. Thatched cottages had always been a favourite with me . I had been wanting to use my Flower Soft for ages so I did today.
I'm absolutely stoked with the way this card turned out. The sketch is from Whiff of Joy. I'm not entering the DT challenge but loved the sketch.
Also my brand new Martha Stewart doiley lace punch arrived yesterday so that had to be used too.
Cardstock - Bazzill, SU very vanilla, K & Company K-ology Hannah cardstock pad
Stamps - PSX Thatched cottage, SU Think Happy Thoughts
Ink - Stazon timber brown
Accessories - Martha Stewart Doiley Lace, SU round and round scallop punches, bling, cream lace from stash, Flower Soft in colours of Heather, Spring, Summer, Sweet Pea, Prismacolour pencils and solvent, dimensionals.
Thanks for looking and I hope you like my card.
