Simply Stampin' Challenge - Colour: Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo, Wisteria Wonder

I loved this weeks colours, but am not at all happy with my creation this week - somehow inspiration was lacking. Anyway, the colours are:

• Whisper White
• Pink Pirouette
• Wisteria Wonder
• Melon Mambo

I have been a bit naughty (again!) and used a touch of Lucky Limeade as well. The colours don't seem to have photographed well either, with the melon mambo looking very red... oh well never mind!

And a close up of the edging of melon mambo around the white circle, and the lovely layers created using the two-step stamping technique of the flowers on the background. I have also used the rock and roll method to stamp the pink 'fill' of the flowers, using a combination of melon mambo and pink pirouette.

Happy Crafting!

Simply Stampin Challenge Sketch #16 - Star Card

It is sketch week this week over at Simply Stampin' and I have tweaked it a bit... The Original sketch is below:

I have rotated the design by 180 degrees, except for the two embellishments at the bottom left which have stayed bottom left but moved over a bit... Hopefully that makes sense? I may get a slap on the wrist for being too loose with the sketch, but I really like the result!

The colours are quite male, without being old, but could be made feminine with a simple swap of the background from Cajun Craze to perhaps Elegant Eggplant or similar. I have used the new Hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes (my new favourite 'go to' set!) - if you want the chance to earn it then contact me to arrange your workshop now! I have also customised the greeting with 'nephew' from the For My Family set, which is a great set to have on standby for making cards that bit more personal.

Above is a close up of my stars and buttons combo - LOVE these! they are mounted using sticky fixers which is difficult to see in the photo, but it gives the card more texture, to go with the fab embossed buttons, and linen thread.

I hope you like it!
