Oh no Ellie, it's your design and I do love that background paper, so much so that I think I may have it somewhere - the challenge would be finding it! It really sets off the butterfly die too, great choice.
Those are lovely Ellie - love the intricacy of the butterfly card in particular.
I have to say Alison, I do have a soft spot for layering stamps and well, an addition to ink! So I always feel like these stamp sets are a good investment for me as they get more mileage than some of the other sets I've bought in the past.
Concord and 9th does some lovely designs but I can't afford to have it all, so my collection is quite eclectic at the moment. I particularly love the Christmas Cottage die set (I have used that a lot for wintry landscapes), the Joy die from a previous festive release (it's great cut from masking paper to create blended backgrounds), the new Blooms Fill-in stamp set I've used twice so far (Distress Oxides need to be tried with it next I think!), and my first ever purchase from them was the Flourish stamp set.
I also received a set called "Beautiful Branches" for Christmas but haven't yet got round to stamping it out.
Soon!
WPlus9 also do some lovely layered florals and they are making open dies now so it is easier to do layering techniques en masse if you can stamp first then die-cut rather than the other way around. I think Southern Summer Florals 1 and 2 were my most recent purchases last summer, oh and Watercoloured Anemones but I didn't get the dies for those.
Right, time to stop enabling and get back to some work.
I love your cardsEllie and Nat I love the backgrounds paper and stamping. I have't managed to play yet at uploading been busy re-organising my craft room.

That's lovely Elain, really pretty florals too! Wish I could "cluster" flowers like that on my cards. I have a beasket full of paper roses/blossom etc. but I rarely use them.
That is stunning Elaine! I love to cluster flowers but only do it if it is a card I can give by hand. Do you send through the post and if you do what do you use? I feel silly sending a card in a box and all wrapped up, but a beautiful card like that would be battered by the time the postman had delivered it.
