Spot the Difference

I ran out of time to make Faith's playgroup leaders' thankyou cards - I'd forgotten that they broke up a week earlier than the school. I had started colouring in some of the new mangas from Sugar Nellie, but quickly realised I just didn't have time. So... I thought I'd go with clean and simple... just a cuttlebug embossed panel, matted, and a wee embellishment flower. Well that was the plan , and you know what happens to the best laid plans....

In my infinite wisdom I decided to use one the gorgeous Marianne D ribbon flower die cuts - bit of a pain in the bum and surprisingly time consuming!

So, I made each of the flowers slightly different...

I embossed the SU Kraft cardstock with the Thankyou cuttlebug folder, then trimmed and matted it onto either lilac or purple core'dinations card and attached the panels to craftwork cards scalloped card blanks

The Marianne D ribbon flowers were cut from the same purple and lilac core'dinations cardstock and threaded with ribbons from Angel Crafts (apart from the purple satin ribbon on the 2nd one) The little swirl is an EK Success punch from Simply Create.

Seeing as the sun is in hiding today, I'm going to have a quick scoot around doing the housework then nose to the grindstone to make 7 more teachers cards for Scott and Willow, and hopefully a start on some cards for Jacqui's Save the Children event at Simply Create. If I'm not back by the weekend, send a search party lol
