So I thought I’d pair this ADORABLY cute bear image from My Favourite Things with the sweet little sentiment from Wild Rose Studio – this is a great little set with a few extra flower images which I also used.  I created a cream card base for a change and stamped the Gingham Background from Simon Says Stamp in Kraft pigment ink from Avery Elle.  I stamped the bear in Barely Beige Dye ink and gave the “no-line colouring” technique another go (I seriously need so tips on that – #fail)!  To distract from the shoddy colouring I added some sparkle to the icing on the cake using a Spica pen and then a dollop of glossy accents on top for good measure!!  All products used are listed below!

Simon Says … the colour of love

The Colour of Love

This week’s challenge is all about love and I just LOVE this combination of stencilled background using the Hearts stencil and a bold, black, graphic sentiment.  I’ve always loved this combo.  The touches of gold add a little drama too – can’t go wrong with a bit of gold I say!!  I used my Clarity brushes with Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress inks – these are amazing things – if you haven’t tried them I’d highly recommend them!  I was having so much fun I thought I’d carry on and whip up a second card while I was at it!

Anything But A Card

One of my favourite We R Memory Keepers products is the 6×6 Clearly Posh acetate pad.  I love the foiling and patterns and it can really glam up a project.  For my challenge piece today I made a pillow box. WRMK actually have a Pillow Box Punch Board but I didn’t have time to get my hands on it – it’s definitely on my wish list though.  To finish off I added some black ribbon and a tag made using Avery Elle’s Postage Stamp dies and the Hang In There stamp set for the sentiment.
