A vision in pink.

Just whizzing in with a quick post to share the card I’ve whipped up for the current challenge at The Card Concept.  The theme this time is “Monochromatic Pink” so I pulled out one of my new purchases – the fabby Spiffy Scooters from Paper Smooches.  Perfect for a bit of paper piecing as it has quite large open spaces on the image.  I think this falls into the “Clean and Layered” category once again – beginning to think that’s my style as they’ve all been that so far!!!

 Hope you’re enjoying the weekend and the weather isn’t too bad where you are?

Caravan love!

Hi all, popping in with a card created with one of my new favourite stamp sets – Home Sweet Home by Avery Elle.  We are a keen caravanning family so when I saw this set it went on my wish list immediately!  I had our trips to the Glastonbury festival and Camp Bestival in my head when I was creating this card – hence the bunting and funky caravan colours, lol!!

There’s a new release at Avery Elle this week and a few of the new sets have caught my eye!  However, as I’ve imposed a budget on myself for a while (went a bit mad in January!!) they will have to go on my wishlist for now!

Have a great weekend.

Case Study Challenge with Danielle Flanders!

Good morning – today is a very exciting day on my wee blog because for the month of February – I’m guest designing over at the Case Study Challenge hosted by the very lovely Iwona (Chupa)!!  I was thrilled when I was asked but then when I found out who this month’s muse was I was ecstatic!  It’s only Danielle Flanders!!  I adore her blog and style – she can do it all – CAS, shabby chic, modern, layered etc.  What a delight to be caseing her wonderful designs.CSC177 DF

Her first card is so stylish and bold – I took my inspiration from the gold, the contrasting black and white and the touches of vellum.  Here’s what I came up with…

I used one of the new sets from this months CBS release – Superstar – love this set – it’s perfect for masculine cards which I always struggle with!!  I was having so much fun with all my gold supplies I thought I might as well do another while I was at it!!!

There you go – two for the price of one, lol!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

The striped stamp was from Market Street Stamps which is no longer trading and so I’m not able to link it up – sorry!
