Encouragement Blueprint...

Hiya!

After a week off last week I'm back with the latest ColourQ palette...


How striking are these colours?? Gorgeous! I wanted to create something with a floral element to reflect the photo but I was running short of time so I broke out my set of MFT's Blueprints dies and whipped up this in no time at all...


I used the PPA sketch this week for my layout as well as the lovely Card Concept inspiration photo...


I went with my usual 'clean and layered style' - for me the easiest one to pull off quickly!

Make sure you check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the design team this week!

Candied ColourQ Hearts...

Hiya!

It's time for another great ColourQ challenge and this week's colours are a fabulously girly combination...


Here's what I came up with...


I was inspired by the Card Concept inspiration as well as the PPA sketch this week...


I loved those heart-shaped cookies with the icing so wanted to create a similar effect with the hearts on my card. I die-cut the hearts and layered then covered with Crystal Effects and sprinkled with a touch of gold glitter. I added a stamped flower with a gold glitter centre, inspired by the inspiration photo. Here's a close up...


The sentiment is from Verve's Small Phrases set (so versatile!). I went with the 'clean and layered' style with this one (probably my favourite!).

Make sure you check out all the fab inspiration from the rest of the Royal Court this week!

Simple Botanical CAS(E)

Hello!

Just popping in quickly to share a simple little card I made using the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge this week...


 These Botanical Blooms dies make it so easy to make a quick card that still looks intricate and pretty - I'm loving playing with them at the mo! Here's the super fab sketch I used...

Pastel Mojo Botanicals...

Hi there!

I was able to find some creative time this weekend and combined a couple of challenges with some new toys...


I'm loving the Botanical Blooms dies and stamp set from SU - so many possibilities and pretty combinations! I used the colours from Just Add Ink and the Mojo Monday sketch to inspire me...
