The gorgeous Sandra at Gotta Craft sent me the most PERFECT stamp and papers to play with last week- I just adore them. The stamp is from the Greeting Farm Cheeky collection – and the papers are from the Echo Park range.
Here’s a couple of cards I made – isn’t that stamp soooo gorgeous?! The first card was made with my friend Saffron in mind, and it just so happens it was her birthday last week too. The image just completely reminded me of her – which is why I coloured with pink hair!
A quick post from me this morning to share this wee card I made as part of my August Featured Stamper slot over on Passion for Papertrey. I absolutely adore this set which is called In Bloom, it’s so amazing to colour and layer up for a 3D effect (not that I’ve done that on this card!!). It also allowed me to use my new Aqua ProMarkers – which are AMAZING!! I used Twilight Blue on the flowers and added a little Aquamarine here and there. If you keep an eye over on the Passion for ProMarkers blog you will be seeing us DT girls using the Aquamarkers a lot in the coming weeks. If you fancy using them yourself then I reccommend the 12 pack of colours available from Letraset (you will be blown away by the speed of delivery too) – with the blending and mixing possibilities you can create just about any colour and shade you want – they are fabulous.
Anyhoo, here’s the card!
You’ll also notice I have used Fancy Flourishes from Papertrey Ink on the background stamped in Enchanted Evening and Aqua Mist.
Right, as we’re going on holiday to Angelsey tommorrow I had better get off this blog and get organised!!
Have a great weekend everyone.

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.
