Something.........Wedding

Hi there lovely friends (and hi to new friends too) xoxo

So in between all the un-packing of the dusty boxes and bags from the house move I've managed a little time-out here and there - about 2 days worth of lovely crafty time and oh I've enjoyed myself - as usual lol Can't wait till i'm crafting full time again.......soon, so soon - YeY!!! (just a few more boxes :-)

This card was a special order - I had total free reign and this was the result - I hope you like......

There a few close-up piccys for all the tiny detail.

I've used new stash I bought from my Fabulous workshop day with Finnabair aka Ania Dabrowska - that extra heavy gel medium sure does the trick Ania (thank you for sharing your art :-)  and I can't get enough of Ania's photo-shopping techniques - just love the Luminartes over the top of the Tim Holtz chalky distress paints - adds a little zest to my shabby-chic style.

So it's off to Cyprus with this little card - hope the bride and groom likes it.

I'm off for now too (not Cyprus - boo hoo lol - cuppa tea time now x

Thanks for popping by Kassa xoxo

This is a little card that I soooo enjoyed designing from scratch - I was so happy how the heart easel turned out - I cant wait to create more cards with it cos it's so easy to work with x

Yep you've guessed - this is a little creation for Easter x 

A little close-up to show all the detail x

I loVe my magic toadstools - they make me smile from cheek to cheek x

A little boho bloom with sparkle - adds a pretty touch x

The heart wreath is covered in ruffled ribbon - green for grass,  blue for sky and yellow for the sunshine x

Now then here are piccys of a few new yummy bits that will coordinate nicely with all your other CWC stash - coming soon to the CWC are these fabulous craft flowers which I have loVed playing with!

White foil 'n' kraft - Mmmmmmmmm a real dream!

I created the rose in the centre of the flower from the waste  petals  of the larger outer flowers x

LoVe, loVe, loVe these new Kraft postcard cards - so delish x 

The large bloom pictured  in close-up here is created from the daisy flower from the new flower packs - the smaller flowers were created from the tattered flowers from the same pack!  I adore this new pack of flowers - they're like sweeties to crafter's lol x

Hmmmmm, shall I or sharn't I?......
