Just for You!

We have a bit of a thing for ducks in my house, started by my hubby when the children were young, they have to be yellow and fluffy and are usually called Billy!, so when I saw this cute image over at digistamp boutique I just had to have it. After colouring it I thought Meiflower's yellow and orange organza ribbon would go perfectly with it.

I was playing around with the  ribbon, as I am always trying to come up with different things to do with it, rather than just a bow, and somehow or other ended up with this design, so I added it to my card and I must say I am quite pleased with it.

Wedding Invitations 2014 - #1

Here is the first of my wedding invitation samples, I used Meiflower satin ribbon to make bunting, which I hung from metallic cord. I added the date with die cut numbers, punched out a couple of hearts and added a gem to each.
This would also work well as a Save the Date card.

Buttons

Here's a couple of cards I made using Meiflower's little buttons, I have used the same image on both, but one card is an acetate stepper and the other is a regular square card. I used Meiflower waxed cord threaded with different coloured buttons for the both the bunting banner and the Happy Birthday banner.
