Beatrix Potter Launch Day

Woo hoo, I love being in the office on launch day.  There's such a buzz about the place.  All the final preparations have been made and Sara and Leann are off to the TV studios for the launch show at 9pm tonight.
With the help of 2 of design team (thanks Jacqui and Debbie) we finished the display boards at silly o'clock last night.  I had been out for dinner first, so don't feel too sorry for me!

So in anticipation of the launch here's a couple more cards to share.  I love simple cards and both of these fall into that category.

I love this backing paper on the Tom Kitten card.  It's printed directly onto snow white pearlescent card stock to make the base card.  The panels are form the sentiments section and just inked and then popped onto some punched oval scallops.

Mrs Tiggy-winkle is adorable and these delicate backing papers and the simplicity of the card suit her so well.

A few more cards

I've been a busy girl today. I've got another commission for Beautiful Cards finished, including the write up of the copy, so they'll be off in the post tomorrow. I can't share those cards with you. However, here's a couple of cards I've been making with my Sizzix dies. The slide mount that I've used to make the background on the flower card is fast becoming a favourite, it's a versatile little die.

The red hearts on the love card were made by die cutting funky foam and then using it as a stamp.

Apologies for the quality of the photos but the weather has been rather gloomy here all day.
