Inspired by Kath

Hi everyone, hope you're all well and have had a good week. It's been a busy week at work for me so it was nice to have some card making time this afternoon. Just like hundreds of you, I love visiting Kath's blog. I adore the cards she makes and have several photos in an 'inspiration' folder on my lap top. My card today is in 'Kath style' and it is a card on this page that inspired it. I can't find the actual post on Kath's blog as all the photos from previous years seem to have disappeared and been replaced with a black triangle and an exclamation mark.

I've used the Flowers Collection from Digistamp Boutique and printed them on papers from Bo Bunny's Gabrielle collection. Not up to Kath's standard but okay for a first go I think.


Short and sweet from me tonight as I want to catch up with you all before it gets too late.
See you soon!

Andrea said...

Hi Katina - a different card from you, but it looks fabulous, I love it.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I hope you get some relaxation time.
It's so busy for me at work at the moment too - stressing me out big time - I go to bed thinking about work, wake in the night, and wake up in the morning thinking about work at the moment. Hopefully, things will calm down a bit soon.
Love, Andrea xx

Hi Katina -

Good to hear from you. Blogger can be a pain - I don't get a lot of feeds either. I have been going through and deleting myself and readding myself as a follower.

I love your card. The scrolled flower stamp is gorgeous. The flowers are fabulous.

Mary J said...
