Fusion-Paper Hearts

Back again with a new challenge at Fusion.

This week I just used the photo as inspiration. Here is my card:

I used the colours of the paper hearts. I made a heart stencil and used water colour paints to mix the colours. The sentiment is embossed.

Here is our graphic. You can use either the photo or sketch to inspire you or combine the two.

Take a look here to see what the DT have made to inspire you.

Hello All,

For this challenge we have a photo to inspire you and you can create a card in any style you want. You can also combine styles. There are a list of the styles here.

I have created a card in the 'Clean and Simple' style, being inspired by the hearts and the colours in the photo:



Here is the photo:

I die cut hearts in patterned and plain card plus one in vellum. The sentiment has been heat embossed.

My Friend Down Under

Hi There,

Today my card was inspired by the 'Down Under' challenge at  Less is More. It was Sarah's card here that gave me a 'light bulb' moment. I remembered I had this stamp and hadn't yet inked it up.

Here is my card:

I have a 'double' down under card here-Sydney city scape being down under from London, and my reflection being down under....yes I know it isn't a real reflection but blink quickly and you don't realise! I made my own heart stencil and sponged a light heart around the cityscape.

As I was making this card I caught myself singing the 'Men at Work' song 'Down Under' and then I remembered the song title challenge at Muse. Michele has set us this fun challenge. I think her song is 'Joy, Joy, Joy down in my Heart'???

I will enter this into:

CAS(E) this Sketch

I hope you are all having a fun Sunday,

Last week I was not in a crafty mood and didn't make any cards for a week. I had a little 'virtual' chat with blogging friend Joyce and she suggested a few little tips to get my mojo working. I took said advice and have been on a roll since. I have been making mainly future DT cards but today made this card inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch. As soon as I saw the sketch I knew what I wanted to do and it worked first time!

I used my splatter die again. I used it as a stencil first with distress ink and then cut the splatter out with glitter card. The sentiment is from STAMPlorations

Here is the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch

I will also enter this into the CAS challenge at STAMPlorations going with the twist of silver.

Enjoy the rest of your day x

Inkspirational #101

Hello All

Time for a new challenge at Inkspiratonal. This week it is our photo challenge.

Here is the card I made:

And this is the photo that inspired my card.

I just die cut the 'LOVE' sentiment a number of times and then clued a string of pearls onto the 'o'. I really like how this turned out.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented and creative Kristina. Take a look around her blog here and you will see what I mean! 

Our DT have all made some stunning cards-take a look here and then join in the fun.

I think this card says 'adore' so I will enter it into:
