Hello to all my lovely friends and followers. today I am posting a card I have specifically made for a challenge The Live and Love Crafts Challenge is perfume and it just caught my fancy. Its the first time I've done this normally I have something suitable.
I used the box and bottle from Prada Amber Perfume one of my favourite perfumes as my inspiration for the colours
This is the card with my inspiration perfume.

I am not too happy with these photos even though I've had a couple of goes I think the frantage on the die is giving a reflection well that's the excuse!! Much nicer in the hand.
I hope you have all had a good weekend doing some nice things. I managed to get to Dainty Crafts at Washington yesterday. They sell gorgeous lace and I replenished some I had run out of. Also popped into the Papercraft shop to get some nice linen and hammered white paper for inserts.
I'm entering this card in Live and Love Crafts Challenge Blog January theme Perfume and LOTV monthly challenge Anything goes
As I wasn't too happy with the original photo I am adding this image think its a bit better .

Hi Carole,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean...sometimes it's so hard to get the pics right when there are glossy and glittery accents on the card. This adorable stamp is perfect for LLC:s perfume challenge and I love the fact that you used the PRADA sample on the card.Very sweet card; thanks for linking up to the LLC challenge again.
