LOVE

Back again with my second post of the day and this card was created using the sketch over at waltzingmouse sketch challenge.blogspot.co.uk and the colours from the shabby tearoom.blogspot.co.uk/.

This was a pretty quick card to put together using just pale colours to create a romantic theme which could be for a wedding, engagement or an anniversary.

For this project I used WMS - Say it Loud, Spellbinders - Classic Ovals Large, Lattice Motifs and Lace Doily Accents, art glitter, flat backed pearls and lace.

Hope the sun is still out tomorrow as I have a lot of gardening to catch up with. Take care and thanks for dropping by.

Keeping the colours to white, green and red and doing a lot of die cutting using Spellbinders " Classic Squares Small", Layered Poinsettia" and "Holly Accents.Papermania Urban Stamps "Noel Postage Stamps", Craftwork Candi and red pompoms finished off the card.

Will be back later with another card to show you all.

FLUTTERING BY THE BLOSSOM

Can't believe it but the sun has shone today although to tell you the truth I have been too busy watching  the Olympics and seeing us collect more gold medals but it is all very draining screaming at shouting at the tv constantly. The emotion that we share with these athletes and some of their stories on how they got to their moment on the podium I tell you the tissues have been on hand a lot these past few days.

 **********GO TEAM GB**********

Better get on with today's post and something a bit different for me not a card but a picture.

Here I have used my new Spellbinder dies "Cherry Blossoms" along with "Grand Squares".The image is from Papermania Urban Stamps "Beautiful - Entomologist" and stamped using Archival Brilliance "Twilight".The frame as always is a charity shop purchase and was in excellent condition so no need to enhance it any further.

the shabby tearoom challenge 125 - Sweet Summertime

The colours were inspired by this  week's challenge over at The Shabby Tearoom with shades of pinks and lilacs.

I will also be entering this over at hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk August Inspiration Day run by Christine Emberson so do go and check it out.

That's all for  now so take care and thanks for dropping by.

miss entering this week's challenge over at waltzing mouse sketch challenge 108.

The papers I found  in my scrap box and dictated the colours I wanted to use for the rest of the card.

Here is a list of items used:

Spellbinders - M Bossabilities EL001 - Fancy Framed Tags Two - Asian Accents and Motifs - Standard Tag

Memento - Rhubarb Stalk

Color Box - Coral

That is all for today but take care as always.
