Fred She Said May Blog Hop

Good morning,

Hello and welcome to my first ever   Fred She Said  Blog Hop!

If you've come to my blog from Marlena's marvellous blog then you're in the right place.   If you've just happened across the hop you will need to start at Tracey-Lynns' blog to be in with a chance to win.  We have an awesome prize for one lucky winner.  The winner scoops FOUR  fabulous prizes:


Bearly Mine Designs - £15 gift voucher
Pizzazz APlenty - prize package worth $15.00
Custom Creations from Carolivy- 3 digital downloads
$30 Gift Certificate to FSS Store

I've got two cards to show you for this blog hop, and I have done something I have never done before - decoupage.  Both cards are also using the pre-coloured digis.  For the first card I have used Fred She Said called Wee Humming Bird and Petunias.  You can buy this beauitfully coloured image here.  These petunias are glorious and the colouring is so realistic.  No patterned papers on this card, but I have put the peachy/pink and white background card through en embossing folder and then mounted it on to blue card.  A couple of butterflies, some stickles on the flowers, a few glittery gems, and some seam binding to finish off.






My second card features The Hearts and Roses set which you can find here.    I have printed this in the golden yellow verson, and again have decoupaged this.  The roses have some stickles around the edges.  I have layered on to semi-matt shimmery gold card, and also some pretty Papermania paper which I have had for some time.  I have added some lace and ribbon, which just shows, and decorated with pearls.

    decoupage. I especially like
    your hummingbird card - because

    embossed background adds to it.
