Sailing Home Masculine Card

This card is perfect for an anniversary card for that special man in your life, and if they like boats, even better. I used the 'Come sail away memories & more card pack' for the background and the sailing boat, which made it super quick to make. I love the colours and the little die cut elements used.

Cheerful Daisies Card

This card makes me feel so happy and brings a smile to my face everytime I look at it. I love the bright colours used and how the lemon lolly colour pops. The card bases were a free product from sale-a-brations a couple of years ago, and I am so glad I managed to get a pack, as they sold out very quickly. I used an old die set to create the bouquet, which works perfectly with the cheerful daisies dies.

Cardstock: Whisper white, lemon lolly, granny apple green & crumb cake
Card base: Soft sea foam cards & envelopes pack
