Runway Inspired Challenge

Hi everyone, hope you are all ok.

Just a short post today, got a few other things I want to post later, but haven't quite got round to sorting them yet.  I did however, finish my card for the Runway Inspired Challenge, this was the picture they gave us..

I love the colours together and realised I had a Stampin Up stamp Posy Punch with that pattern on one of the flowers, so I decided to use that, here is my card...

I cut a section out of the base card, I like doing that with flowers.  I am a tiny bit disappointed as I was going to use three pieces of ribbon to add to the top, but realised I didn't have any blue, so had to resort to inking up some paper border.  Hope you like it.

I off now, I'm going for a sit down as I'm shattered.  I went to see Dirty Dancing at the theatre last night (which was excellent and a very good Patrick Swayze lookalike, which made me very happy) and tonight I'm off to see Westlife in concert.  I'm taking my mum, as it was her Christmas present.

Bye for now

Less is More - Week 65 Sketch

Hi everyone

Hope you are all ok and not too waterlogged.  After a lovely sunny day yesterday the rain is now back in Yorkshire.  Supposed to be camping in North Wales this weekend - not sure!!!

It was, however, a good excuse to do abit of pottering and I have been a bit of a bad blogger recently.  I have made cards but just not posted them, so hopefully over the next few days I will get my act together.

One challenge I don't like to miss is the Less is More challenge and this week Mandi and Chrissie have given us  lovely sketches to play with...

Now my Headteacher at work has a 'buzz' phrase at the moment and that is 'blue sky thinking'!  We were all a bit unsure at first but it basically means to think outside the box, the skies the limit!  So I gave it a go...

Mandi and Chrissie I hope you approve of my card as there is not alot of white.  Basically an acetate card with Stampin Up Create a Cupcake stamps and punches.

To hide the glue I did a mirrored image on the back...

I was going to stamp the acetate with little white flowers, but decided to keep it very plain and simple.

Hope you like it, I will try and come back soon with some more things I've made recently.

Bye for now.

Less is More - Aqua No. 2

Hi everyone (again)!

Just a short one now, this is my second card for the Less is More challenge...

The stamp is from Stampin Up Pretty Petals, the sentiment is Paula Pascual.  I don't actually own any bakers twine but I do have an abundance of embroidery threads from my cross stitch days and I found the perfect match.  Hope you like it.

Got half an hour now before I go and get the kids from school so, Snow Patrol is on the CD and I'm off to visit the other LIM ladies.
Bye for now
