Good morning! I hope you all had a good weekend! We have a colour challenge at Dream Valley this fortnight: Blue. That is, everything except an image's skin and hair, should be in shades of blue. Looking at my card, you can see that I used shades of blue that are a bit too close in colour, I needed more contrast. You never stop learning in this cardmaking lark! I used Lil Lovely Hearts by our sponsor, Sherri Baldy, and coloured her with Promarkers. The falling hearts have been Glossy Accented, the rose has been glittered, and a blue gem heart is added on top of the heart on her blouse. The papers are by Pink Petticoat . The ribbon and broderie anglaise are from stash, the sentiment is by Clearly Besotted from the Mini Basic Banners stamp set. On the right I added some flourishes cut with the Cheery Lynn Mini Fanciful Flourish die and some flower shapes which have a blob of stickles in the centre. As I said, not enough contrast!

Hi, guys! I hope you're having a good Monday! it's a Bank Holiday here in the UK - and true to form it's a grey, overcast day with rain to come later. It's a running joke throughout the country that is always rains on a Bank Holiday! What better time to retreat to the craft room and create? Our challenge at Dream Valley is Anything Goes. Nice and easy! Our sponsor is Sherri Baldy Designs . I used IMG935 I used papers from some old paper pads that came with magazines. The lace is from The Ribbon Girl . The sentiment is by LotV from the Mixed Circular Sentiments set. This comes as a basic stamp, with an assortment of extra words to add across the middle, and I used hero Arts Pool ink to stamp the 'very much.' The gems are from stash. Go and see my teamies' gorgeous makes, and join in! But, remember, please enter only 9 other Challenges! . Thanks for looking! love Mags B x
