Inspired by… a label!!

Whilst doing a spot of clothes shopping last week I couldn’t help but notice the tags on the girls clothes in John Lewis.  Well, as I sat down at my desk last night I caught a glimpse of one of the tags that had been discarded on the floor by one of the girls and was immediately inspired.  The colours just screamed Melon Berry and Dark Chocolate to me so away I went to get my Butterfly Dreams and Fancy Flourishes stamp sets from Papertrey Ink.

And here is what I came up with.  Girly or what?  I went over the swirls with a quickie glue pen and prisma glitter just to add some sparkle and the ribbon is Dark Chocolate satin.  
I am definitely going to look for inspiration in this way again – the card just came together so easily!
Have a great day all.

A little whimsical tree!

I adore the Wonderfully Whimsical set from PTI – and this tree is probably my favourite image from it.  I apologise for the poor photo – I was really struggling to get a good picture today.  I coloured the tree and little hill with my latest plaything – AQUA ProMarkers – OMG, I LOVE them.  As a wee perk of being on the Passion for ProMarkers DT we were all sent a free box of Aqua’s to play with from Simon at Letraset.  I think I could be a convert.  I went over the tree and flowers with crystal effects to give it a little bit of texture and then stamped the Happy Birthday from Butterfly Dreams.
Here’s a close up!!

I have been very decadent tonight and have crafted for about 4 hours – when did I last get to do that??  Of course, the downside is it’s now 2.30am – but I have two cards made that I will share with you as soon as I get a chance – and some daylight!!

Hugs,

ANOTHER CARD!!!

Hey, is this two posts in 2 days?  I clearly have too much time on my hands! (sarcasm alert)

Just sharing a quick card I made the other day.  All supplies are Papertrey Ink.  I used Beautiful Blooms for the background pattern stamped in Spring Moss, Raspberry Fizz and Dark Chocolate.  The butterflies are from Butterfly Dreams – the polka dot one is my absolute favourite.

Right, off to make sense of the mess overtaking my house.
