Sweet Summer

Hi, This is another card which has been sitting for too long in my 'to blog' folder. I made this card using this sketch. I loved this sweet little stamp set and it is great one to colour.

My colour are not quite navy, daffodil delight, baja breeze, whisper white and old olive. I love the clean lines of the card and I added some pearls in varying sizes for some bling. The sentiment is from 'best yet'.

Thank for looking :)

Sweet Sunday meets Paper Players

Hi all! I feel like it's been ages since I've joined in with any challenges, but I came across this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch and The Paper Players have a beautiful colour combo, so here's my creation combining both of the challenges:

I really loved this designer series paper and didn't want to cover it up with a solid piece of card, so I used some vellum -  I'm not too sure if I really like it, but hey, you get that though.

Here's the sketch I used:

And the beautiful colour combo:

If you have a chance to, go past both blogs as the design creations are amazing!

For You Case

I was blog surfing a while ago and found this beauty! Jennifer has actually made this into a mini scrapbook, but I loved the front and had to case it!

I've used baja breeze for my base, chocolate chip and very vanilla. The DSP is from retired elegant soirée and the stamps are from retired stamp sets 'Sweet Summer' and 'Vintage Labels'. Every thing is stamped in chocolate chip and the sentiment is punched out with the word window punch and mounted onto dimensionals. I used some Kaiser Craft vanilla ribbon to create my bow. I love the cuteness (is that a proper word??) of this card.

Thanks for looking :) 

Just Add Ink 85 - Just add baby

 Hi again! This week at Just Add Ink the challenge is to "Just add baby". I loved this colour combo of pink and brown that I've seen on a few blogs (I'm not really a 'brown' person, so I don't normally use it) and I still am in love with easel cards. Heres what I came up with:

I've used soft suede, pink pirouette and certainly celery and I've add a lot of pearls! I sponged all the pink pirouette dsp in soft suede and added just a little bit of colour to the main image. 

Hmmm, now I just need someone to have a baby girl - any takers? 

Thanks for looking.

Just Add Ink 77 - Sketch Challenge

What a busy week! I didnt think that I would have been able to get any creating done, but I did manage to make a card for this weeks challenge at Just Add Ink.

I did take some creative license with the middle square being bigger and turned into a diamond. I think if I did the card again I wouldn't have put the second smaller flower in, but it still works (I think).

Thanks for looking.

Guest Designer

Two posts in 1 day! My sister was around today as it's school holidays (she's only 13) and we sat down to create. This is the card that she came up with:

She made her own patterned paper and coloured the image in. I thought it was a pretty cute result.
