Glitter Me Silly

Aw, just what we all need to pick us up after the depressing come down that is post-christmas.  A little bit of love and romance to brighten our day!

Our new challenge at Passion For ProMarkers this week is LURVE!  I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to make a Valentines card for hubby – if I don’t I will NEVER get round to it.  After me struggling to use the large rose stamp from my Papertrey Ink YOF:Roses setamp set, here I am with my second card in as many days!  This time I took the plunge and coloured it (rather than bottling out and paper piecing it as in the last post – see below!!).  I used all the reds in my arsenal and actually love how it turned out.

Our sponsor this week is Digi Stamp Boutique

Hope you can pop by the blog and have a go!

I’m a week late with this post!!  First I was poorly with that horrible winter vomitting virus then I have had a week without hubby whilst he’s been off skiing in Switzerland!  Combining the 5 kids and our business which I basically singularly man from home – this week has been HAIRY!! 

Anyway, onto the card.  Our challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey is “out of your comfort zone”.  In other words try something a bit different to your usual style – maybe a colour you don’t normally go for or try vintage if you’re usually CAS! 
For me I have spent the last few months actively avoiding my YOF: Rose stamp set!  I was dying to get it when it was released but when I opened it and took one look at the main rose image I just closed the box and it has sat uninked ever since!!  If ever there was a time to use it, then this challenge is it!

 

Yes, our first challenge of 2011 is something we all need to make plently of at this time of year – Thank You cards.  So to help kick that post Christmas mojo into gear go and check out the PFP blog for oodles of inspiration.
For my card I have used a gorgeous digi from Just Inklined which comes a an A4 sheet with the images and sentiments (if you want them).  This set is called Christmas rose which I thought was perfect for Christmas thank you’s.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink’s Signature Christmas set.
