Sneak peek Vintage Floral

Morning all my lovely friends, followers & visitors, hope you`re all having a nice bank holiday weekend, i`m off to London today with hubby & my youngest, so excited, we are doing the open top 3 hour tour bus to see all the sights & are visiting Tower Bridge, & hopefully as many other things we can fit in. We`re then off to the O2 to watch my daughters favourite band `Little Mix (she is off the chart with her excitement lol) Then tomorrow we are cruising the Thames in a speedboat tour (very James Bond!) All very exciting.

What also exciting is the new

The new collection contains:

- One PDF-based CD-ROM

- Six A6 Sentimentals rubber stamp sets (Vintage Floral Phrases, Vintage Floral Verses, Vintage Floral Greetins, Vintage Floral Sentiments)

- One A6 acrylic stamp set (Floral Sentiments)

I`ve tried something a little different with this card 

as i really wanted to show off the some of the gorgeous papers on the cd

so i made a blind, i`m sure for the really technical out there, 

a proper functioning blind could be made, but mine you have to push up yourself lol

The papers & the colours are so amazing, i just love them 

The embossalious folder i`ve used is the 8x8 Decadent Rose

which i`ve highlighted with gilding wax

The sentiment & flowers are also on the cd

Crafters Companion have the most amazing goodies coming to you this year, i just know you`re going to love them.
