Full Bloom Christmas

Tuesday, 24 July 2012
… quickly, so I chose a simple design, got out some of my solid flower stamps and made these for my students and some of the staff at the place where I’ve been working. Unfortunately, I’d already sealed a lot of the envelopes before I realised that I ought to scan or get photos, so this is only a small selection.
I’m looking forward to a break in a couple of weeks but before then, I hope to get down to at least a little stamping because, as of this afternoon, I’m OFF for a few weeks and don’t yet know when I’ll be starting again… Unless I find something else in the meantime, I just have to wait for them to contact me when they’re ready. Pity they don’t pay me for holidays!
Hope Summer has reached you – it’s not sunny here – this IS the North West of England – but it’s HOT and humid, so I’m not complaining; the good thing is, it’s DRY!
This is my entry for Crazy Amigos, which is a ‘FREE THEME’ for Summer and lasts TWO WEEKS until 31st.
Have a good week.

Yes this is a great way to make a lot of beautiful cards! Great collection!
Gorgeous, elegant cards! The colored bands behind the stamped flowers -- is that patterned paper, or is that also inked/stamped?
Oops! So sorry I missed this. The coloured bands are inked and lightly stamped, usually with text stamps, to provide texture.
Thank you for your lovely comment :-)
