peggy polka dot & peony branch
Hi all! How are you today? I seriously would rather be here today... Here is a clip of Faye at her concert in Hong Kong. We went to HK for Faye's concert about 4 years ago (yeah, hubby is also a Faye fan!) and it was a dream! She writes beautiful songs and here are two that I just love. Faye is also famous for her Chinese/Cantonese version of The Cranberies' Dreams here. She is THEE best! =)
On to today's cards. I made these for poppystamps.
I used the adorable peggy polka dot for my first card. You know she has to be cute with a name like that! =) This card is also posted here at the poppystamps blog.
The patterned paper is from the Enchanted collection by Memory Box. I stamped the Twizzle Tree from Memory Box on the background to build a little scene. The sentiment is from the Strawberries set by Flourishes.
To make the background of my second card. I pressed peeled paint and broken china distress inks on my craft sheet, spritzed water over the inks before I dragged the piece of watercolor paper in the pool of ink.
The versatile peach blossom poem background is then stamped with peeled paint and the beautiful peony branch is stamped with vintage photo distress ink. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. You can also see this card posted here.
That's all for today. Have a lovely day! =)
Thanks for stopping by!
