Friend like you easel card (Magnolia Stamps image)

Hi everyone,

My last card to show you tonight is an easel card, I love making these. I have used another gorgeous Magnolia Stamps' Tilda image, isn't she sweet holding up the little puppy?

I love using loads of flowers and my new favourite embellishment is my little glass bottles with a cork in the top, there are so many ways to use them and this time I have added some purple glitter in it. This is the first time I have used my new honeycomb die which I have added to the bottom and used some of the off-cut hexagons into some random white hexagons by turning the paper over and glittering.

Autumn Easel card

Hi to all my lovely followers, can I just say how happy I am that you are interested in my cards, it makes creating them that much more special when you know craftlovers are going to see them rather than make a card and hide it away or give it to one person. I am almost at 200 followers so I'm thinking I might ask my business buddies if I can give a little FWAB candy away when I reach that milestone :). See below the card for a huge special we have on in October.

I have used quite a few FWAB products on my card today - Lee's tree and grass set, Trent's Fence and Taylah's Toadstools. I decided to make this girl quite large, she's from Digi Darla and she's perfect for Autumn cards. Click on any red words to be taken to the store or actual item.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout October, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!!
