Spots



Today's card is for the Tanda Teaser this week which is Seeing Spots. I used a backing paper from the new Papermania range and then cut some of the flowers from another sheet and layered them up making a very simple card from just a couple of sheets of backing paper - the layering doesn't really show in the photo. The idea for this came from the launch of Joanna Sheen's new CD Cottage Gardens. One of her DT made a card this way with one of the papers from the CD, it was Suzanne, and you can seen her card here. So thank you Suzanne for the idea and inspiration. If you haven't visited Suzanne's Blog you don't know what you're missing. Not only does she make fabulous cards , but she does some great tutorials and product write ups. Do pay her a visit you certainly will not be disappointed. I added a piece of black grosgrain ribbon from Poppicrafts and a couple of spotty Flora Doodles. Thank you for your visit and comments, all of which are really appreciated. Beryl x

    Whoever would have thought that a 'spotty' card could be so elegant Beryl? Lovely choice of colours too

    Fabulous card Beryl, definitely a prime example of 'less is more'!
    I saw Suzanne's card and I was inspired by it too, such an elegant look.

    Goodness Beryl you have been on overdrive. I haven't been on your blog for awhile as you have been poorly then you creep up on me and go mad. All your latest cards are lovely and you well deserve all your awards. I am glad your back is a bit better. Cathy xxxx

    Those swirls are just to die for. That backing paper on Joanna's cd is the main reason I've ordered it. I do like this card of yours. It's so elegant and clever.
