For my birthday a friend gave me a bag made of card and inside were 2 note books it gave me the idea to create the little bag below. I have used Basic Black, Whisper White, Basic Grey and Pink Passion card stock and inks and Day and Night Specialty Paper. I had to adapt the size and shape as I wanted it to hold 6 Cards and envelopes inside.
Stamp sets used are: Vintage Vogue, Very Vogue, Bird on a Branch, Loads of Love, Frames with a Flourish. I would love to know what you think.
I decorated the envelopes to match the cards.

These are the 6 card I made to go inside:

I have just finished planning our next workshop, I am hoping we will make the following four projects. The first one below was designed by Jenny Moors, You are so incredibly clever Jenny. It actually has four little pouches inside which hold four After Eight Mints - Yummy -
I have used Love You Much stamp set and Real Red, Whisper White and Black card stock.
I have embossed the red heart with white craft ink.


Inside

I have used Real Red, Close to Cocoa, Whisper White and Black card stock for this card and usd En Francais for the background.

The base colour card for this one is Rose Red with Chocolate Chip and Rose Red mats.

The car and hearts have been water coloured with Rose Red and Real Red.

The trees have een daubed with Mellow Moss and the sky and road I have sponged with Bashful Blue and Basic Grey.

Last but not least, if we have time after making the above in between cups of tea, coffee and bickies and lots of chat this card which used Sage Shadow, Braveo Burgandy and Very Vanilla card stock and the Medallion stamp.
