Black and White Octagon shaped card

Hello crafty people.
    Today I'm sharing a black and white octagon shaped card.



I didn't have a die for this I actually worked it out, then cut the different layers 
separately, each one smaller that the last. After I had done it "lightbulb moment"
why didn't I just download the shape and adjust the different layers. 

The card measures  aprox 7x7 
Black and White card sock.
Embossed the last layer with a Sue Wilson embossing folder .
The ovals are also Sue Wilson.
Memory flourish die cut.
I drew the  flowers with an embossing pen, then embossed in white.

Fuchsia Card

Hi crafty people.
A card I made while trying out a Fuchsia flower.
I used 2 different punches for the flowers. One I coloured pink and the other
I coloured green for the leaves at the top.


The corner dies are really Die-sire fairy lights rectangle dies that I have cut in half and used for the corners. The leaves I have had for  a while and can't remember the make.
Finished off with little butterflies and tiny pearls.

Card stock 5x5 
Mat pink card
