With these two cards I wanted to show what a little upgrading can do to a card .  They are both exactly the same colours and stamp sets Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey.

 

The second card has the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and I have punched an extra decorative Label in Blackberry Bliss, I have also curled up the top flower.

 This card is my first attempt at using our new Blendabilities I have used Old Olive and Daffodil Delight.  I had great fun with these and thought the card has come out very well.  The Daffodil Delight cardstock is coloured with our new Dots & Striped Decorative Masks then embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.

 I hope that you enjoy what I have made for you and now it's off the the amazing designer
Sally Williams .  Thank you for coming on the blog hop with me if you have joined here or elsewhere please remember to leave a comment to all of the designers

Simply Stars this is a stamp set that I have only just purchased recently, have only used it a couple of times.  It has so much promise but sadly it is now retiring.

Dress Up Framelits, well what can I say it wasn't a set that I liked when it came out and took me months to buy them.  But I have seen a lot done with these and I love them so you better get in quick if you don't have them.

Thank you for coming on the ESAD bloghop the next stop is the very lovely Richelle Fletcher  please feel free to leave a comment with all of the designers, they do appreciate it.

For my projects today I have chosen Peaceful Petals, I love flowers and just had to get this stamp set to use.  I have used sponging on the first two cards starting with the lightest colour then using a darker colour for the centre.

 These next cards were a bit of an experiment, I wanted to push the colour boundry's I have used Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and backed them on Strawberry Slush, I think it works.

 I have had some doileis for a while, not knowing what to with them, so I have sponged this one in Crisp Cantaloupe.  I then scrunched it up to give more of a 3-d look.

 Now it is off to see what Emily Campbell has in store for us today Emily is another talented designer who produces beautiful designs.

Thank you for taking part in the blog hop today and please  remember to leave a comment or all the designers as they love having feedback on there projects.
