WOW!!

Hi there, Just for something a little different and non Christmas related if you are a little over the festive season already...... Although, you could change up the colours and add a Christmas sentiment and voila! a Christmas card!!
I'm a huge fan of  Concord and 9th ( Lol I'm a huge fan and collector of everything) AND I finally had the chance to play with my Distress Oxides!!! wow beautiful colours and so luxurious to work with! they blend magnificently too.  I had a few practice sheets playing with all the colours and they all work so well together.
I die cut the Concord and 9th heart on my base card and then die cut the heart again on my practice sheets another 3 times. That way I had a good mixture of colours for the slots.  I didn't do it at the time (because I didn't think of it...) but I should've made three cards with the left over pieces.
Scrapbook Boutique will have all the details and products used for this card.

Love always

Hi there,  I love looking at new stamp sets and try to create a card in my mind to see if I will get a lot of use from it.  Sometimes, I will see a new set of stamps with characters that need colouring and have NO IDEA what I would do!!!! Then I see our wonderfully talented DT create something magnificent and I am in awe!!!  I really should use my copics and pencils more (I DO HAVE EVERY COLOUR YOU KNOW!!!)  I love the witty little sentiments and would love to be able to do that.  It is funny, I can pick our DT's card before I have even see who created it!  I am really drawn to shapes and lines and abstract patterns.
As you know (or may not ) we are renovating at the moment and this long and tedious project is impacting on my crafting (as well as other things).  My craft room is the room everything has been placed in whilst we are painting and re carpeting argghhh. It is extremely difficult to get to anything and I am challenging myself to create with whatever I get my hands on in my lucky dip :)
Today's card I wanted to stretch my supplies a little and use the flowers as flower petals.  As usual, I cannot say how FABULOUS the luxe inks are ♥♥♥ such beautiful coverage on large solid stamps and lovely vibrant colours too.  I embossed the scribble because I really wanted it to stand out. As you know there are no mistakes in crafting...... this was going to be a get well soon but I wanted the sentiment where it is and there was not enough room LOL....plan B.
Anyway, Scrapbook Boutique have the products used and instructions on how I put it together too.  Don't forget to try our monthly challenge where a RANDOMLY chosen entry can win.

Here is my take on the challenge.

I looked and looked and looked at the moodboard for ages...... I decided to take my inspiration from the 'fly' aspect.  This card is a little more watermelon than the pic and if I have time, I will photograph in a better light.  A  little vellum ♥ I do love going back and using things I haven't used in ages!!

...
anyway head on over to Ann's beautiful blog and I look forward to seeing your inspired contributions for this challenge ♥
