Peaceful Petals in Coastal Cabana

Hello Everyone,

Following a lovely weekend weather wise our first day of Spring was a gorgeous Sunny day.  A feel good, happy kind of day.  It is a pity my daughter didn't co-operate.  She was sick and I had to collect her from school.  Its off to the doctor for us tomorrow.

For today's card I've used a image from the Peaceful Petals stamp set which I've coloured with the Coastal Cabana set of Blendabilities pens.  Come and have a look at this pretty image.  I have used this one on cards before.  I really love it. 




The cardstock used is Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White along with some patterned paper from the Fresh Prints paper stack (now retired).   The greeting comes from a new set called Good Greetings which is a special stamp set available to Hostesses on our latest promotion.  Here is the full view of the card below.


The coloured image has been cut out with the Oval Collection framelits and mat onto some Coastal Cabana card cut with the Deco Label framelits.  A border was created with the Dotted Ribbon Border punch and I also added a little butterfly from the Beautiful Wings die. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoy your day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
