Japanese Chocolate




Anyone who knows me will know I love my Chocolate.... so I just couldn't resist this challenge over at Utah Divas: Concord Crush is rapidly becoming a new Favourite colour with me.
I've made this cute card with the Kimono Kids Set.I
ve added texture by distressing the edges of the cardstock, using Dimensionals on the fan and the Polka Dots Embossing Folder on the Chocolate Chip cardstock. There's some shimmer paint and Very Vanilla Ribbon too.

Autumn Glory


I know spring is coming (hopefully) here in NZ but over at Sunday Postcard Art Autumn Glory is the theme. Here's my first go at a postcard- what fun. I drew the girl, and then sponged and coloured with Peach parfait, Pear Pizzazz, Tangerine Tango and Poppy Parade. I also used the the leaf satmps from Lovely as a Tree. I've added embellishments by collage. I hope you like it?

Blue Heaven



Today has been a taste of summer, no coats needed today- I've made this pretty blue card for the Sketch challenge over at Just Add Ink. I've used the level 1 Hostess Stamp Set Because I care- such a pretty flower, I've masked to create a Hydrangea bush. water coloured with Baja Breeze and pear Pizzazz. Added some butterfles Stamped with the Butterfly patterns stamp set, Some texture from the embossed card. Marina Mist Satin Ribbon and Diamante Bling. There's also some shimmer paint, which just doesn't show up well on photos.
Let me know what you think, I love your comments x

There's a Bunny in my Pocket!



Here's a cute baby card I've made using the sketch this week at Stamping 411. The bunny and baby motifs are from a retired set, but I've also used the Tiny Tags Set. I've used satin ribbon and Antique brads too. Hard to see from the photos but I've also added some Pearl Ex Powder for some subtle sparkle.
I think the Top Note cut in half looks like a pocket- hence Bunny in my Pocket x

Secret Heart



This fortnights challenge atGothic Arches is Matchboxes. I've used a matchbox and instead of adding it to an arch, I've done an arch way door. I wanted to create a pretty vintage look, with the thought of boxes and doors hiding secrets and heart longings.
I've used the new NewsPaper DSP and the heart from the ever popular Always Stamp set. I've sponged with a new Colour- Concord Crush. Added flowers, tags, ribbon and bling and we are done.

Just For Spring




Finally it feels like Spring is on it's way, and the Just Add Ink Team have given us a pretty Spring Colour Combo Challenge this week, check out the Design Teams' pretty cards here.
I really enjoyed putting this pretty card together. I love this Greenhouse Gala DSP so pretty and versatile.
The Just For You Stamp co-ordinates perfectly with the new Fancy Flower Punch.
