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!).

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...

Botanical Blessings Journal...

Hiya!

It's time for another ColourQ challenge  - check out this week's colours...

I decided to make a journal with these colours and the rather FABulous Botanical Blooms framelits I recently got from Stampin Up... love!

How gorgeous are those flowers??! I shall be playing with these dies a LOT! I used a Verve scripture stamp for the sentiment and some Kaisercraft dsp for the wood panels. I used the Viva la Verve sketch for my layout...

Blushing Rose Anniversary...

Hello!

I took some time last night and this afternoon to just chill out and play with some new stamps and some favourite challenges... In this busy world of mine it's all too easy to forget to set time aside just to relax and create for the sheer joy of it! Hopefully I'll be able to pop in and share my creations over the next few days and week, but today I'll start with this one...

 I managed to score this beautiful Rose Wonder stamp set for free when I hosted my last SU party (yay for freebies!) and have been wanting to play with it for the past week. For this one I stamped the rose image three times on Blushing Bride and embossed with white EP, then cut three different layers and stacked up with dimensionals. The leaves were stamped on Crumb Cake and embossed as well. The card layers were cut using one of MFT's Blueprints die-namics collections (love!) and the sentiment is from a old MFT set.

I combined this week's MFT sketch challenge (tweaked a bit!) with the Color Throwdown as my inspiration...

Simply Wonderful...

Hi there!

It's time for another fun ColourQ challenge and this week's colours are a pretty combination...

I got some new Kaisercraft goodies for Christmas (thanks Mum!) and these colours reminded me of the colours in the collection so I went rummaging through the die-cuts that came with the papers and found a lovely big bloom that worked perfectly. I paired it with some old SU saffron dsp and ended up with this quick and simple card...

I used this week's Fusion sketch for my layout (and the pink and yellow inspiration fits too, although these colors are a more muted version!)...

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