New roses from Winnie and Walter

Hey there!

I am playing the Friday Mashup sketch and 'Lets be thankful' theme challenge today. 

I recently received my prize from Winnie and Walter and couldn't wait to play with it!! I just adore these roses die from Winnie and Walter and it seemed really perfect for this sketch.

The background papers are from the  'Aged roses by Tamara' paper pack from Crafttangles from Craft adda.

The sentiment is from Paper smooches 'scripted sayings' stamp set and the sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.

I just love the muted vintage feel!

I am also playing  The Simon Says Stamp Monday 'Thanks" challenge with this card.

For the second card, I created a Memento ink and watercolour background, added a piece of heat embossed (background stamp from Hero Arts) and added a couple of dry embossed butterfly die cuts with foam tape to add dimension. 

I finished the card with a heat embossed sentiment from Hero Arts.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a great day!

Pumpkin Happiness

Hey everyone!

I am playing the Friday Mashup # 227(pumpkins and frames) challenge  this week.

I realised I didn't have a pumpkin stamp or image, so I decided to draw the pumpkins myself! 

They are not perfect, but I love the overall look of the card.

The Polaroid die is from Lawn Fawn and the sentiment is from Verses rubber stamps.

I used watercolours and colour pencils to colour my pumpkins and gave the card base a distress ink and water wash.

To finish, I added a bow of bakers twine and some wooden buttons from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a good evening!

Green shoes

I started out making this card before I decided  to make the card with the pink shoes for my daughter.
but I love this one too!
The stamps used are from Simon Says Stamp,Hero Arts, Paper Smooches and Winnie and Walter.

 

I am playing the Paper Smooches Anything goes challenge, the Blog named Hero 'Tic Tac Toe" challenge and the Friday Mashup Ombre challenge with this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Ombre fun!

I decided to use some of the challenges this week to make a special card for my daughter who turns 13 this week.
And, Oh! what fun I had!!!
My daughter is an athlete and has done really well in the last 6 months, without any formal training at all!
So I thought the shoe motif from Simon Says Stamp's All Boy stamp set would be perfect for her!
She is still quite girly though, so I decided to go with pink Ombre!

I used Memento inks Lilac posies, Rose bud and Angel pink to watercolour the shoes and London fog  to watercolour the background.
I decided to ink the background card to give and Ombre look to the whole card.
I heat embossed the sentiment from Hero Arts and Winnie and Walter on a vellum panel and added some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to finish off the card.
I just love it...I hope she does too!

I am submitting this card for the Friday Mashup challenge and the Pretty Pink Posh Watercolour blog hop and the Blog named Hero 'Tic Tac Toe" challenge.
