Three little fish

Yesterday was another training day but this time it was held in Locks Heath. I arrived late as usual and missed the talk at the beginning. Hubby and I are always getting lost and always arriving late. So much so that we are considering changing our names to Mr & Mrs Leightenlost. But that's another story. Believe it or not these fish were created using the petal stamps from the Build a blossom stamp set. How cool are these little guys. This was the project I was looking forward to doing all day and it was one of the last project I did. I have to admit I messed it up first time round so I used the emergency side of my paper and stamped it all again......The result was I messed it up even more, so I ended up using my first attempt. The eyes are just S.U 's crystals but the way the light has hit them has made them look as though I have used those nasty plastic wobbly eyes. The crystals look far better in reality.

Manhatton Flowers embossing folder was used to create this beautifully embossed background. we added the butterflies which were cut using the Bigshot and the Beautiful butterlies die. All are available from the mini catalogue.

The wings were stamped with a couple of the petal stamps from the build stamp a blossom stamp set.

Build a blossom card

I was amazed at how many people said they wouldn't have put these colours together...... I guess they weren't around in the seventies or too young to remember that era...... I'm giving my age away here. LOL Well this is a card using the Build a blossom stamp set and matching punch. I hadn't considered buying this set. but I now have a better idea on how versatile this set can be with a little imagination.( which is something I sometime lack,... correction often lack). You will have to excuse my less than perfect positioning of my greeting, as all the cards made yesterday were made in an awful hurry.
