TGIF theme challenge #73 - Detailed Floral Thinlits

Wow, what a crazy busy week it's been. The kids seem to have heaps on, hubby had been flying all over the country for work and I've been getting lots of crafty stuff done. Then suddenly Friday has sneaked up on me and I suddenly remembered it was my week for DT at TGIF. Luckily I have a gorgeous card to share this week.

Firstly here is the sketch for this weeks challenge:

And now to share my gorgeous little card:

I actually used this card for my class this week too, I love killing to birds with one stone, and it was such a big hit. The Detailed Floral thinlits really are fantastic no matter which colour you use. On this card I wanted the negative space to be the hero which is why I used Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper for the background.

I never really make a lot of soft girly cards, even though I really love them. But this card is off to my kids teacher as a little thank you for all that they have done this year. Those teachers really do put in lots of hours and a little Thank You goes along way!!

Well that really is all from me today. I'm off to my craft room and get ready for my weekend of workshops!!

Make sure you pop over and check out what the other DT's have come up on the blog. I love being a part of such a fantastic and talented team!!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo

Congratulations - Floral Phrases and Detailed Floral Thinlits

While I currently wait for my main catalogue order to arrive, which seems to take f o r e v e r...  my lovely friend Kim offered to share her gorgeous new goodies with me (this is just one of the many reasons why I love that girl!)

So after looking through her HUGE box of new stamps, I decided that I really wanted to try out the new Detailed Floral Thinlits. This set was one of the first items that I saw in the catalogue and knew it was a must have. The matching stamps are beautiful and the coordinating Paper, Washi and Bakers Twine are stunning too. So after a very quick run through the Bigshot and a bit of sticking, I literately had this fantastic card all in about 15 minutes!!

The photo really doesn't do the die justice. It cut out beautifully with the precision plate and I used our nifty little Sizzix brush and mat to roll over the die and poke out all the little bits. It really was so quick and easy and the card has a huge wow factor to it.

I finished it off with a little stamping, using the matching stamp set Floral Phrases and there it was, done!

Oh and just a little note, the framelits have three pieces, two are the floral dies and the other one is an outline die that actually matches both of the floral pieces.... Now THAT'S clever!!

Enjoy the rest of your short week (Yippee!!) and Happy Crafting,
Chlo
