Cards from Diva Red workshop on Saturday 6th April

So this is my first blog - how exciting! 

Obviously I have to post a picture of a card!!  Inspired by a lovely lady, Eileen Godwin, these were done for the Diva Red workshop I run with my crafty friend Moira.  They are very easy to do,

  •  blend pan pastels over some lovely linen effect cardstock
  • fix with cheap hairspray.
  •  Stamp the Cherry Blossom Claritystamp with versamark  and emboss with black powder (remember to use something anti-static first)
  • Colour in the blossom with an opaque white pen
  • Attach butterflies with a brad.  The butterflies are dies from Spellbinders
  • Mat onto black card, then onto the white base card
  • Voila!
