Simply Stampin' Challenge - Sketch 9

This weeks sketch challenge was a perfect opportunity for me to dive into some of my NEW stash from the NEW catalogue - can you spot what goodies I have used?

I love this vintage and traditional style of image, and the card as a whole is updated by having a more contemporary layout. I hope you like it!

Recipe:

Stamp Sets: Soft Holly and Beautiful Season

Card Stock: Old Olive, Real Red, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla.

Inks: Old Olive, Real Red, Black StazOn, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Marina Mist.

Punches: Designer Label, Scallop Trim Border

Other: Ribbon (non SU), DSP, Sponge Daubers, Blender Pens, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Happy Crafting!

Simply Stampin Challenge - Flutterby Butterfly

 A lovely challenge this week which I am sure will prove popular!
I had some perfect photos in my stash from a day out to a butterfly house - what could be more perfect?

So here is a close up for you of one of the pretty bits, where I have used the fantastic bevelled window panes, combined with layers of ribbon and card... The window panes are such amazing quality, and really make the photo underneath 'pop':

Really pleased with how this layout turned out, and I have been asked to create a sketch of the layout to share, so keep an eye out for that at a later date!

Recipe:
Stamp Sets: Medallion, Strength and Hope, Dot dot dot.
Card Stock: Certainly Celery, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White.
Inks: Certainly celery, Black journalling pen, Crumb Cake.
Ribbon: Certainly Celery (Striped grosgrain and taffeta)
Other: Cuttlebug, Top Not Die, Bevelled Windowpanes, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Happy Crafting, and don't forget to check out the other designers' work by clicking HERE!
