WMSC #9, PDCC #41

Hi All, finally made a card today, after a week away in the New Forest. A good time was had by all, but I really missed some crafting time.

Today I have made a card for two challenges, the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, and the Play Date Cafe challenge which is a colour based one.

Here are the sketches:


Play Date Cafe #41

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #9


And here is my take:



Using Say it With Style and Very Vintage Labels 1 stamp sets, I stamped 3 different sized flowers onto a variety of papers from Papermania Hampstead stack and Websters Pages Lifes Portrait collection.


I inked up half of one of the decorative label frames in Memento Rich Cocoa onto some white linen bazzil card, and cut out using Nestabilities Labels 1. Then stamped the sentiment from Say it With Style.

Attached this to a card panel, and layered up all the flowers with varying heights of foam pads.



Couldn't resist adding some bling to the flower centres, then thought what the heck, I'll trail some more bling above the flowers too! Then I removed some as even I thought it was a bit too much LOL!!

Very pleasantly surprised by this one, as the colours are way out of my comfort zone, and I had planned to do something completely different which I may do tomorrow if the kiddoes will let
me ;-)


Thanks for looking and have a great day,

Pauline xx

Such beautiful stamped flowers. they look as if you've spent a lot of skill and patience to make them. The gems are also a wonderful accompaniment. Px
