Hello, I realise that I have been absent in blogland for several weeks, but I am glad to report that I have finally got some time back and am able to return. My husband managed to break his elbow before Christmas, which was very traumatic for us both and meant I had to step up to the challenge of supporting him and taking on all his household chores. I have to say that it has definitely made me appreciate just how much he does, and it has also made me admire people who live on their own even more. Thankfully he is now on the mend and I am getting a bit more time for my hobby again. I hope to be able to visit you all more now too.
I recently found a number of foiled pieces that hadn't been made into cards, so decided to put that right. Here are 2 of them. This little basket of flowers is a hotfoil stamp by Couture Creations. After foiling I cut it out with a circle die and matted it onto a circle of metallic card. The white panel was diecut and embossed with a stitched square die. The sentiment, by Uniko, is stamped and clear heat embossed.
The second card is made in exactly the same way, but I didn't have a piece of the blue glittery card big enough for a full mat so I just placed strips at the edge. I think it works.
I am sharing the first card at:
CAS on Friday #326 - Monochrome
I am sharing the second card at:
Inkspirational challenge 359 - shades of blue
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Both beautiful cards, love the embossed backgrounds and basket of flowers. Sorry to hear about your husband breaking his elbow and how inconsiderate just before Christmas lol-good to hear he is on the mend.
