Card Challenge - Color Throw Down #665

Hello creative friends, today I'm sharing a card for

CTD #665 challenge

I loved these soft pastels and was keen to try out a new stamp set,

so experimented with Ranger Distress Inks,

Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac and Salvaged Patina.

It was tricky to get all the individual stamp pieces lined up

 and they are not perfect, but I do love the finished card.

Thanks for calling in.

Keep safe.

Color Throw Down Card Challenge #659

 Hello creative friends, it's been bitterly cold in South Australia today,

so I spent the afternoon designing a card for the Color Throw Down Challenge.

 

I have not combined these colours previously, 

so I challenged myself to step out of my comfort zone and give it a go.

I cut some water colour card stock with a Pink Fresh Die, "Hello with a bouquet"

I used LuminArt watercolor paints to colour all the details.

Despite my hesitancy, I quite like the finished product 

and may use this combination again. 

Thanks for looking and for any comments you care to leave.

Keep safe.

Challenge Yourself #92 - Celebration

 Hello creative friends, it's been ages since I took part in a challenge, as I've been in hospital having back surgery.

I couldn't resist this challenge as I had the perfect photo for it. 

Challenge Yourself 

We were encouraged to scrap a photo of ourselves and explain how we take care of ourselves.  I adore spending time with my Grand children; I'm charmed by their personalities, the way they love to learn and the numerous snuggles they give out. My heart fills up when I'm with them.

I used Paige Evans "Wonders" papers and was inspired by Missey Whidden.

We don't get to see this little kidlet very often as she lives 800 kms away.  We were celebrating her third Birthday.

Thanks for looking and for any comments you care to leave.

Stay safe.
