Right, I am about to throw my camera out of the window. Although it probably has more to do with my incompetance than the poor camara. Try as I might, I cannot get a good photograph of this card. I complain when there is no light and now there is plenty of sunlight I am complaining too!
I am entering this into Cupcake Craft Challenges where the current theme is "Make Your Own Flowers".
To make my flowers I used the two smallest dies from the nestabilities "Blossom" set. The smallest die made the small flowers and the second smallest made the bigger flower. I inked the edges of the flowers with memento ink "Summer Sky" and sprayed the completed flowers with a mixture of perfect pearl and water, using a mini mister. The small flowers sit on leaves made from a 5 petal flower punch and the larger leaves are made using a Martha Stewart Stamp and Punch leaf punch.
Thank you for taking a look at my card. I apologise for not visiting my blogging buddies as much as usual. There is lots going on at the moment, but I am hoping things will get back to normal soon.
Hugs, Clare xx

Hi Clare,
Give yourself a break girl...your a star, we all struggle with pic's and I know how frustrating it is not to have time to catch up due to other stuff...it can't be helped...
I have been feeling low this week, not had much enthusiasm to craft and it makes me feel guilty...
We have to learn to fit blogging around us and not us around it!!!
And reading what I just wrote I need to take my own advise...lol
Love your card Clare...it's so elegant, the colours are lovely, those flower's are perfect...
Beautiful job!!!

Hi Clare

Oh wow, Clare! Those flowers are GORGEOUS!!! I'm going to have to try that! I usually edit my photos with a free program called Picasa~ http://picasa.google.com/
You can lighten up your photos, auto contrast and auto color. It has lots of other editing options as well and it's free! Just an idea:)
Clare the pic looks gorgeous from here. The blue sparkly flowers are the bees knees! All makes for one beautiful card. Take it easy mrs.

This card is so elegant Clare, I love it. Beautiful flowers. I've had the blossom nesties sitting on my table since I went to the SECC on 7th March and still not opened the packet. Really must open it soon. I feel the same about photos. Never seem to get it right.
