Morning all.
It's official....I am freezing and in desperate need of warmth. Perhaps the posting of these cards may evoke some warmth??
I love finding a card and then working out, if you do not have the exact supplies, what you can use to make it yours! I fell in love with the idea of this card on SCS....and then the cogs started to clunk. The flowers...check...the grass...can alter but check but it was the stems that had me stumped. You really have to love one of those 3AM light bulbs...don't you?? This is the result of my light bulb moment....
I am so very happy with the way they came out. I got the chance to play with the Edgelit Dies on the grass. I am really loving the orange and purple colour combination. The sentiments are from Petite Pairs.
The Butterflies gave me the opportunity to try a trick I read on the net somewhere. If you want to have a certain coloured rhinestone.pearl, but you do not have the right colour, a permanent marker on a clear rhinestone or white 1/2 pearl will do the trick. I used a bright orange Sharpie in the rhinestone and viola!!!
The final thing was to pop the flowers on the dimensionals and I was good to go!!
Here are the 2 together........
Thanks for popping by. Let's hope that the warmth comes soon....or sooner!!!

Lovely cards Ms Lynda, good idea for the stems, and that punch makes the most lovely flowers, very cheery cards on a very dismal morning here in Adelaide!!! Have a great weekend my friend xx
Great cards Lynda. I am going to miss that punch when it goes. It makes great flowers. Isn't it great you can still have fun with it.
Try and keep warm,
Warm hugs,

Freezing! I am right there with you Lynda. Just a state away but freezing as well.
I love it too when you can adapt a card to your own style. These are so pretty and fab colour combos too.
Roll on Spring!
