Be Loved

Hi Everyone

Back again with my challenge card for the day! But first I have to say a big OMG to the weather! What is going on I have roses buding in the front garden all waiting for spring yet it has been snowing all afternoon! Luckily its not been settling or we would have been in trouble as I am off to see the very talented Kim Piggott tomorrow and I would have been upset to have missed that!

So back to my card which was for the following:

A Spoonful of Sugar - Sketch
Simon Says Stamp - Photo Inspiration of a red roses in a garden
Whiff of Joy - Love
Stampin for the Weekend - Valentine
I used the very cute Melinda from Whiff of joy which I paper pieced and coloured with Antique Linen distressed inks. I used some more of the 'Be Loved' papers from My Minds Eye which are such a great colour combo and make such a nice change to use from the seasonal pinks and reds. The shapes were all die cut using my nesties and edged with Vintage Photo Distressed inks.

Recipe: Stamps: Whiff of joy Melinda blowing kisses, Stamping Up Circle of friends. Papers: My Minds Eye Be Loved  - Fond flowers, Affectionate flowers, Smitten Stripes. Nesties Scalloped, plain rectangles and hearts. Pearls and ribbon from stash finished off with Diamond Stickles!

Thanks for looking
Hugs

Back Again!!

Hi Everyone

Back again with my second post of the day so this will be very quick. This card is for the challenges on Whiff of Joy, which is this lovely sketch and there is a photo inspiration over on Basic Grey from which I used the colours.

I have used the very cute Melinda with Bouquet and coloured her with copics (I'm still on limited supplies!). I have used a selection of papers from a BG Granola pad for all the layers and the flowers.

Recipe: Stamps Whiff of Joy - Melinda with Bouquet, General sentiments. Papers: Basic Grey - Granola. Nesties - Flower creations. Brown Tulle from stash.

Phew all finished! Tomorrow I will be winding my way down the M6 & M40 back to Surrey. It sure was nice to spend some time with my parents as when you are working these trips are hard to organise. I also managed to get my crafty Mojo back and made quite a few cards between all the shopping!

So up the hill to Bedfordshire for me

Thanks for looking

Whiff of joy - Challenge 51

Evening all

Quick post tonight as I wanted to get this card in for the WOJ challenge this week, which was to use a die cut on your card.

I hate trying to photo my cards at night as I don't seem to avoid that washed out feeling. Despite that I really like this card for its simplicity

I also love this stamp and have been dying to do a monochromatic version of her ever since I saw one that the very talented Bev Rochester made last year.

Recipe: 188/365

Stamp: WOJ - Lizzie with Muff,

Paper: Pebbles - snow fun flakes, Grey pearlescent card embossed using Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Snowflakes. Die Cuts used - Nestabilities labels 4 & Fancy tags. Finished with ribbon from stash and a liberal amount of star dust stickles

Night all

Hugs
