A Passion for Papertrey – Circles Challenge.

I know it’s been a while since I posted but life is pretty hectic for me at the moment.  We have had a few busy weekends and it continues for the foreseeable future with Sophie’s first holy communion this weekend, Georgia’s 10th birthday the weekend after and then after that our 18 day trip to Florida!!  I guess it’s going to be fairly quiet around here for the next couple of months.

So, for today here is my card for the new challenge over on A Passion For Papertrey.  This time we’re challenging you to use circles.  Although Aimes (my DT buddy) was able to come up with an AMAZING out of the box design – I went for a more simple approach!!  In other words I punch a load of circles out of PTI pp and layered them up!!  I love Raspberry Fizz and Aqua Mist together – swoon.

Hope you can join us over at the blog.

Hey, I couldn’t resist inking this stamp up as soon it arrived – don’t you love it?  It’s from the Lotus Leaves set by Hero Arts – part of my recent little shopping spree!!  

The colours I’ve gone for on this one are aqua and orange (Aqua Mist and Summer Sunrise – PTI).  I double-inked the stamp to give the two-tone effect.  The sentiment is a Think Big Favourites stamp and I’ve run the main panel through the big shot with the linen/canvas impression plate (PTI) for a bit of extra texture!

I had so much fun with this one – I did it again – in a different colour!!

A Passion For Papertrey Wildlife Challenge

Hiya – just popping in to tell you about our new challenge at A Passion for Papertrey.  This time it’s all about wildlife so that could be anything from birds and bees to trees and elephants!!

I’ve made another acetate card using a gorgeous Besty Veldman inspired colour scheme – love these colours together and Betsy does it so well.

Hope you can pop along to the blog and join in the fun.
