Pintrest Inspired

Hi, today I have a card which I saw on pintrest.

I love the simplicity of this card. For some reason I always forget I can use my paper piercer to add detail - dont know why I forget, as it's so easy to do!

I used the now retired Kindness Matters stamp set and my colours are melon mambo, crumb cake and baja breeze (retired). The twine was from my stash and the baja breeze frame was created by cutting a decorative label in half and adhering to the back of the white panel. 

Thanks for looking and have a great day :)

Freshly Made Sketches #21

Hi! I have been meaning to play along with Freshly Made Sketches for ages now, but never seemed to find the time. But this morning I needed to make a baby boy card to send off to some friends and this sketch was just the inspiration I needed! So here's the sketch:

 And here's what I came up with: (sorry about the photo's - I just couldn't seem to get a good one)

I used white, not quite navy and bashful blue for my colours. The boat is made from cutting a circle in half and cutting triangle sails to fit. Its hard to see, but I added some polka dot embossing to the end of my 'congratulations' banner for a bit more detail. I really like the result and hopefully my friends will too.
Thanks for looking!
