Congratulations!

Hey!  Here with a card made with the Mini Love Hearts stamp set from this month’s release from Clearly Besotted.  This set co-ordinates with the original Love Hearts set and also has dies available separately.  It’s great having the two size options now and my favourite of all the shapes and patterns is the primitive polka dot heart – swoon!

congratulations

I used this fabby sentiment from Many Messages (amazing sentiment set – so many cool fonts!) and some patterned paper from the Dots and Stripes pack by Echo Park.

This has been a long week for me – school meetings, busy workload, play dates….  so looking forward to the weekend – just one more day – yay!!!

Clearly Besotted Challenge #4 – Background Stamping

Challenge

Hey folks – here to tell you about this month’s Clearly Besotted Challenge #4 – Stamp Your Own Background.  Steph and the rest of the DT have done some amazing examples as always so make sure you head over to Stamping and Sharing and check them all out.

For my card I wanted to get the new Halloween sets out – been waiting for these ever since Steph first told me that she was launching her own stamp line over a year ago!  I knew her Halloween sets would be special and I wasn’t wrong!  They sold out in the first 24 hours (no fear, restocks on the way)!!!

I picked out the sentiments from both the sets, Boo To You and Fright Night and stamped them in a collage style using True Black, Simply Chartreuse, Orange Zest (PTI) and Neon Purple (Hero Arts).  The tree and crow (Fright Night) have been smothered in Glossy Accents – LOVING the effect on that image!!

Challenge #4 BckgroundI hope you get a chance to join in and play along with this month’s challenge.

Hugs,

Good Luck Amelia xxx

My gorgeous little niece Amelia will soon be sitting her grammar school entrance exams – eek!  As a mother who has gone through this for the last three consecutive years – I know the pressure they’re under at only 10 years old.  So anyway, I made her this little Good Luck card to let her know we all have our fingers crossed for her.

It’s a very simple CAS design using Clearly Besotted‘s Fright Night stamp set.  Can’t stop sticking Glossy Accents on everything at the moment too!!

Black Cat Good Luck

 

Thanks for dropping by.
