Simply Stampin' Colour Challenge

Good morning,

It's time for another challenge over at Simply Stampin' and this week it's a colour challenge, normally I love colour challenges but I must admit when I read these colours out loud I thought, they are NEVER going to work together!!

I set to work and made a card, but when I got the rest of the DT cards through I realised I had used the same set as another of the team, argh! stamps set and same colours, but rather than panic I thought, no it's OK I'll just make another, so here it is

Now I have to confess, Ihave swapped the neutral from white to vanilla, and I have also been a it naughty in that as I used First Edition DSP as my background I have also used black ( the print), but I'm hoping that you and the rest of the team won't mind.

I think I may have got a little carried away but once I'd started I found it very hard to stop, I have used, Forever Young, Solid Stripe, and Just Believe for the sentiment, as well as ribbon, brads, pearls, I really think everything I have is on this card.

I hope you like it and I will share my original with you later in the week.

If like me you were a little scared of the colours, I hope you will still give it a go, can't wait to see what you come up with! Happy stamping, xx

Sale-a-bration DSP

Good afternoon,

I wanted to share with you some of the cards that I made last weekend, I had a bit of a marathon craft day, I started around 11am and didn't finish until 10pm, I managed to get 6 commissioned cards done, but I still have another 6 commissioned cards this weekend plus 2 mother's day cards, one for my mum and one for my boyfriends mum.

So here is one of the cards that I made during my craft-crazy day!

I have used a selection of sale-a-bration papers, I really love the way these papers co-ordinate together, and I have used a new punch (to me) that I really added to my collection, the fancy flower, I punched 3 flowers scrunched and un-scrunched several times until the paper started to separate, I carefully pulled them apart, off set them punched a hole through the middle and added an antique brad, if you look closely you should be able to see it.

Pop back tomorrow to see the next Simply Stampin' challenge, plus we also have a Design Team call on at the moment, so why not try out?!

Happy crafting, xx
