This is the last of Maria's spotlights for this year and she wanted to make it extra special, so she asked a few ladies who had previously done a spotlight on the blog if they would like to make a card and join in.
Of course we all would!
I really wanted to make a card using my most favourite image..but which one to pick? I have so many favourites! In the end, this little lady from the second release of stamps won the top spot.
The very beautiful Bella Bunting.
( Dena...you may need to sit down first, embellishment overload again hee hee hee!)
I forced myself to cut and use some more of these gorgeous papers - Maja Design 'Fika'.
OK, you know I'm a simple girl so the embellies are always minimal. I started off with a Doo Hickey swirl, a punched flower with a little rose in the middle and a few pearls. But it looked too bare even by my standards so I added the strip of lace...a lot of embellies for me to use on one card!
Thank you for asking me Maria...it's always a pleasure to get the opportunity to show some love to a Sassy.
Now I'm off to go and visit the Simply Sassy blog myself to see all the other ladies cards...they will be awesome!
Thanks for looking.
Love Elaine xxx

Such a stunningly gorgeous card, Elaine, as always! I can understand why it would be a bit of a task cutting into those beautiful papers, but they do Bella such justice! Susie x
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine
ReplyDeletelove the colour combo that you have used, very pretty, (I am sure that I have that paper somewhere), also love the sweet image.
I had to laugh when I read that you think that you have overload on your em-bellies. Let me assure you, your's are not a scratch on mine, poor Andy had to post a card for me the other day at the post office. On his return home he asked me if I had put bricks in with the card, as it cost him over £8.00 to send it lol.
