More Dandelion Wishes!

Hello to You All, I hope you are all good and enjoying your day.
I'm having a day indoors, I like when I don't have to go out especially when it's to shop, so it means that I can get a few thing s done around the house, besides Chocolate Baroque was on Hochanda and I couldn't miss that. I love the new Christmas stamps that they've brought out, but I'll wait till they are on their own online shop and I hate the high postage that Hochanda has.  I was lucky to receive a CB voucher for CB for my birthday last month from one of my lovely friends and I knew the the new Christmas stamps would be coming, so that's what I'll be buying.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my last card.

I've got a couple of cards today using the lovely Dandelion Wishes for Stampin Up which I absolutely love. I have already shown a card for our niece that I made using it, it was a good luck card for her new job, here's another two occasion that the stamps fits very well ;
 First as you can see it's a thank you card for a friend who gave me some beautiful birthday gifts, and I've inked the panel with Oxides in her favourite colours, shades of purple, and embossed the dandelions in silver EP.
My second card is the kind we don't like having to make. It was for one of my neighbours whose Father died very suddenly, and I thought the image would do just perfect of a sad occasion. The background is an embossing folder from SU and once again I've embossed the image in silver EP and added silver thread around it. The sentiment is from an old Papermaina stamp set and added two small pearls.
I think that this SU set is so versatile, and makes lovely cards.

Well, that's me for now, needing to get on with the next CCC cards for the weekend, take care and see you soon,
