I would also like to thank you all for you most wonderful comments on my posts, I think I am going to have to invest in a video camera at some stage, so that I can make my tutorials a little better. Maybe I could get Cameron Diaz to dub my voice LOL!
I used a slight different swirly frame from Birds Cards - fabulous free designs, she is awesome! The butterflies are from there too and those little teeny hearts are from the the wings of the butterflies - waste not, want not :-)
I did change the position of the leaves and the flowers, but only a little. I like how this one turned out.
The inside compliments the front and I used a stamp from a Recollections stamp set.
I am really proud of myself! I actually gave these cards to some dear friends as Thank You's. I don't know about you, but I have a very difficult time in parting with the cards I make and I told my friends that they were very privileged in receiving one from me :-) By the way, they loved them :-)
I hope you have all had a fabulous week and that you have a relaxing/crafting weekend.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Happy crafting.
I love this, especially the layer you cut on your Cameo. And what a great idea to cut several leaves for later use. I wonder if I did that if I'd remember where I put them?
ReplyDeleteThis version is beautiful too! Those frames are simply gorgeous. You're making me want a Cameo, Karon. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with both versions, these cards are spectacular Karon. Hugs
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous card Karon!!! I LOVE both takes on this design!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and have a GREAT Friday!!!
Stunning Karon~ love those layers on your card and the design is fantastic..

I love this card and your leaves and flowers. I need to go back and read you post on Wednesday and see how you made them. Thinking this is something I'd like to have in my ever growing tool/supply stash. :)

Why not make another, the second one is always easier! I love both. ha I re used my hearts little hearts as well, I'm sure they are too nice to waste. Like you I hate parting with my cards but when we part with them they do spread the pleasure, just hope they don't bin them oh no! Hugs Polly x

ReplyDeleteI had a chuckle at you actually giving your cards away, as I am the same.
ReplyDeleteIts an ongoing joke with my crafting friends that I hoard my finished cards, lol.
I am going to try and work on this, this year ;)
Your card is so lovely as is the last one.
I really love those rolled flowers.
Beautiful card Karon and I love how you used the pieces from the wings for your hearts, brilliant! Have a wonderful weekend my friend :D

Stunning Karon.......very pretty card! I too have trouble giving some cards away too..they are like mini works of art. I'm sure your friends really appreciated the time an effort that went into creating them.
ReplyDeleteKaron, this card is equisite! I love all the detail on it!

I don't think this look will ever get old! It's so pretty all of the lace and the way it jumps out at you. A very timeless look!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can translate things from Chinese to English spelling any better than you can! The writing is so different from our alphabet that your attempt is as good as mine! :)
I love it! The trellis, flowers and butterflies look incredible....and so springy!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Karon - this is gorgeous! So many beautiful details - that scroll background is so elegant. The butterflies and flowers are just amazing - I love this!
ReplyDeleteKaron, hi! It's been too long since I have visited your blog. I have been busy with a new little one at home. But it was an especially good day to visit today. What a lovely card! I love all the details. The little flowers, the butterflies - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely creation, Karon! Stunning. Parting with any of my cards is a gut-wrenching experience for me too! I want to be generous about it but it sooo hard! LOL!
