Blended Mojo Bloom...

Hello!

I've been lecturing all week and after concentrating so much on the teaching material I needed a bit of chill time yesterday to get creative! I combined a couple of challenges to inspire me: the brand new TGIF Challenge together with the Mojo Monday sketch...

I pulled out the Blended Bloom single stamp and had fun colouring with my Blendabilities (which are sadly no longer available, but hey ho, I might as well use the ones I have eh?!)...

I used some retired dsp and ribbon, and added a little butterfly I created with layers of card and vellum.

I'm looking forward to the bank holiday on Monday - maybe more crafty time..?!

Simple Coastal Bloom...

Hiya!

It's time for another fun ColourQ challenge and this week's combo is fresh and funky with lots of possibilities...

I decided to go CAS on this one (gasp!) because I wanted the lovely Blended Bloom image to shine through...

I tell ya, I never get tired of looking at that beautiful flower image!! I coloured the Blended Bloom image with Coastal Cabana Blendabilities as well as the Mocha pen from the Skin Tones set, then cut one out in full and the other with just the inner petals and layered with dimensionals. The swirls and leaves underneath is the 'thanks' stamp from Seasonally Scattered, stamped in Pear Pizzazz, with the flower covering up the greeting. The sentiment from Hey You was stamped with Early Espresso then I added score lines above and below.

I used the layout from Seize the Sketch to help me...

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Blended Bloom, Hey You, Seasonally Scattered
Ink: Memento Black, Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso, Blendabilities (Coastal Cabana, Skin Tones)
Paper: Whisper White
Accessories: Brights candy dots
Tools: Simply Scored

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