Thursday Thanks featuring... Beautiful Friendship


Yes another Beautiful Friendship  and Ornate Thanks card for you.... as I had to try a completely different colour scheme for a yellow loving friend...

Which reminds me of my first colour range when I became a papercrafter nearly 20 years ago!! Which was yellows, greens and cream... bet no-one guessed that one!! 

It is funny how colours affect us... yellow used to my favourite colour... but I wouldn't have thanked you for a yellow car! 

And I didn't even wear a lot of yellow... though I did have an amazing dress nicknamed the "Gin and Tonic dress"... which yes you guessed it ... had a very large lemon on the front... though I didn't realise that the pips were rather large holes... as I wondered why all the blokes were staring!! Gosh that takes me back about 35 years!!

But I digress... back to today's card... Balmy Blue hydrangeas, Bumblebee roses, Mossy Meadow sprays and Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz leaves... rest of details as per this card shared earlier in the week... 

And favourite colour ranges today... mmm.. Black or Navy with white or cream... with a pop of a bright (or neutral!) colour...Though I don't get to use much black and white in my cardmaking anymore... not many of my class ladies that like it!

Oh and Pretty Peacock of course! Stand out favourite for now! With a splash of many a blue or green to wash it all down... This is probably the range you would best guess at!

Tuesday Trio - Beautiful Friendship

Love love love this Beautiful Friendship trio... 

The first being pretty much a complete CASE of this card by the very talented Austrian demonstrator,  Michaela Windhager at Papier Vampir... 

Whose card actually inspired me enough to finally buy the stamp set... as I was indeed very late to the "Beautiful Friendship lovers party!"  Always a liker... but this is the card that finally got to me! 

I just changed the colour combination... to Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Rich Razzleberry, Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz...

And I dropped the polka dot ribbon... I tried it... but (and it must just be me!) either I don't get the wrap right... or the angle right... but either way I make such a feature look rubbish! Though I still appreciate it on others' cards! 

And please ignore my boo boo!! ie the Mossy Meadow spray to the bottom right hand side!

And then I carried on with slightly different colour combinations ... Flirty Flamingo hydrangeas in this second one... and less or more stamping...

Oh and again I added the extra layered up parts onto the front... which made an even bigger difference on these cards...

And off to make some more... as this is officially still my favourite Beautiful Friendship layout! Thank you Michaela... still really loving your card!

Also used Stitched Rectangles dies and Ornate Thanks stamps...
