"Take Time Mini"


Its the final day of the hop and today's set called "Wealthy Fish" is a lovely one:


I really loved the simplicity of the larger images so I decided to make clean and simple cards to complment them:








I had fun watercolouring the embossed images, and using the coin embellishments I had been saving from a May Arts embellishment pack.  The black seam binding ribbon and the sparkly sequins were perfect to finish the cards off.  Simple and quick, but lovely just the same.  :)

I hope you enjoyed my cards, but the fun is not over!  You can visit Mark's Finest Papers store to purchase these sets along with lots of other wonderful sets.  Or, if you need some inspiration the DT list is below!  This is a blog hop after all and talented Toni is next on the list!  Or if you've started here click below to go back to the beginning.

    Both cards are beautiful. I love the use of the sequins. Very oriental in nature and they compliment your cards.

    These are both lovely.
