True Love

Good Morning!

I was asked to make a Silver Wedding Anniversary card recently and straight away I knew the set of large sentiment stamps that I had sitting in a box would be perfect. I was originally going to do the complete card in a Silver scheme but then decided that it needed a pop of colour, which is where the pink came in! The design paper that I've used is actually from a Christmas pad but I think the floral design works perfectly ...

PBSC August Challenge!

Good Morning!

It's official ... the Christmas Cards for 2020 have begun!

This month's challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE is 

'Anything Goes or Make the Sentiment the Focus!'

I decided to go for a Monochrome style again and I was originally just going to use a sentiment stamp but decided to add this simple branch stamp along with a little bit of sparkle! I'd been intending to make a start on my Christmas cards soon and this was the perfect chance.

PBSC July Challenge!

Good Morning!

I missed the boat with the start of this month's challenge as my card wasn't ready in time! I'm still struggling to find time to craft these days but I am trying my best! Luckily we have a mid-way reminder post each month for our challenge so at least my card was ready for that lol

This month's challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE is 

'Anything Goes or Nature!'

I decided to go for a Monochrome style and kept my card Clean & Simple along with using the second & third generation stamping techniques. I think it's worked quite well with this stamp and I've kept the card versatile for any occasion by keeping it sentiment free.

  INGREDIENTS -

Penny Black Cling Stamp

Doodlebug Sprinkles

Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black

July's Creative Inspirations Challenge!

Good Morning!
Yet another month has flown by and I shamefully haven't had anything to share since my last Creative Inspirations card ... I am determined to make that change this month, even if it means starting to make the old Christmas Cards (eeek!) I know it's early but I'm starting to get the urge!

Back to today's post and we've got a new challenge at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS starting and this month's theme is 'In The Garden!'
I didn't really have the time to colour up an image for my card so I dug out one of the pre-coloured designs that I have in a drawer by LOTV. As I've said before they're perfect for quick cards! This image is now available as a Simply Print and you can find it by clicking HERE.

 INGREDIENTS -

LOTV Coloured Image & Sentiment

Assorted Maja Design Papers

Assorted Flowers, Ribbons, Cheesecloth & Paper Doily

Doodlebug Sprinkles
