I spotted some challenges on the Flourishes blog, where there's a chance of winning the entire new release of stamps... I love Flourishes stamps (although I've only treated myself to one set so far!) so I had to have a go.
My first card is for the
sketch challenge...
I've used one of the fab silhouette images from the 'kids play' set, stamped in 'rich cocoa' memento ink. I've used some scraps of Pink Petticoat papers, all printed onto linen card, cardstock is core'dinations. The flower was cut with a x-cut punch, button and pearls from my stash. The bottom corners of my card were a bit of a happy accident - I intended to round them but picked up the inverted corner punch by mistake... oops!
And my second card is for the
Three's a Charm challenge, where you must use exactly 3 layers on your card...
I've kept things very clean and simple. My layers are the base card, the gingham stamped panel and the blue mat. The stamp is another from the 'kids play' set, stamped in 'paris dusk' memento, the gingham is another Pink Petticoat scrap printed on linen card. The sentiment is from the same set and the pearls are from my stash.
And look what happened while I was crafting!
Dex came upstairs to play while I was in the craft room, then said he wanted to watch an Elmo dvd. About 10mins later I realised it was very quiet so I went to investigate and there he was, fast asleep... he's still asleep now, I should probably wake him up really!
