I really must stop photographing cards when the light has gone - even with a daylight lamp the colours are not coming out true. Trouble is my speed mojo has deserted me and I am so slow at making cards at the moment it's usually dark before I'm ready to photograph them.
Penny Black's challenge this week is embossing. I've used the 'It's Your Day' stamp and coloured it with pastels. The papers are Spring Collection by Doreen Stoltz and I've used the Cuttlebug Tiny Blubbles folder (thinking it would complement the bath bubbles) on the corners which I then distressed with pastels (I find these easier than inks on embossed paper). The flower is cut with the EK success retro flower punches, leaves with theLeone Em Ash branch punch. the sentiment is computer generated and ribbon and brads from stash.

I am not happy with the inside, might have to try and change it.

This is cute beyond words. I like the inside and don't think it needs changing.
I have the same problem with speed and lighting :-) so I've started to take my makes to work the next day and photograph them on a windowsill there. It means planning ahead a day if you have a fixed schedule but takes some pressure off. Sara

Georgeous card, was looking at my stamps from this set tonight and wondering why I bought them, now I know why! Must get them out and have a play. Love the green colour scheme, don't make many cards in green although its one of my favourite colours.
