JUGS #212 Photo Inspiration.

Over at Just Us Girls their current challenge is a photo inspirational challenge

 and isn't the photo below just gorgeous.

 

You can find all the details HERE.

I know it isn't fall time over here in Australia but we still love

the colours associated with that time of year. The trees look so beautiful.

 

For my card I went for a simple design to highlight the colours above.

My card didn't photograph well as the background paper

is actually green but looks grey.

 

 

 

I layered it up a little by adding the green card stock to the white base.

  Then followed up with Designer paper from Stampin' Up

  a little more white and green to back the orange paper which I scored.

I then used Spellbinders Lacy Circles in white and

Spellbinder Standard Large & Small Circles in the green and white .

Behind my flower I added a leafy swirl from Fancy That.

We tend to forget the flower packs you have bought and use

dies to create our flowers (well I do) so this time

I got a few out and built them up - inked a little and added some

star dust stickles and brad.

I was looking for something tiny to put at the bottom of my flower and found this

perfect little heart in just the right colour.

The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping - Fancy Sentiments

Tag is JustRite Antique Tags.

Sponged the inside to add colour and finished with 2 small pearls.

Flower and sentiment are popped.

 

Till next time

It's Gotta be a RED Poinsettia

 

I did say in my earlier post that I would be making a card with a red poinsettia -

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without them.

My card is again for the PSC97: Poinsettia Christmas at The Perfect Sentiment
so here it is...

 

 

I used white card stock as my base and topped it with

Metallic Sculptured Board called Sand Storm.

Red card stock for the Spellbinders Lacy Circles

 and Spellbinders Poinsettia Die

I heat embossed the red poinsettia with clear glitter powder

 using a poinsettia stamp from Gina K

Added sprigs from MS punch for backing

Green Rhinestone brad on flower

Sentiment is from Stampin' Up Heard from the Heart.

I really like this set as the sentiment goes all the way

across the card.

 

Hope you will pop back in again to see what I have been creating.

 





IBS WHW #121 Tutorial/Challenge.

Here I am again enjoying the latest tutorial/challenge over at 

 Inspired By Stamping

which is

WHW #121 Embossed Edges from Shea

 

I wasn't completely happy how my embossing turned out as it wasn't

neat like Shea's so left it for a while and when I came back

I looked at it again and liked that the embossing was

 uneven and thought it fitted the overall grungy look I wanted.

 

 

This colour combination for my card

is certainly a little different to my usual but I had this gorgeous paper

from Gina K called Wisteria Lane that just seemed to be right.

The photo is showing that the card base is blue but it really is purple.

 

I used the following

Purple & White card stock

Gina K Wisteria Lane DP

Spellbinders Flourish

Spellbinders Labels 18

Spellbinders Fancy Tags

Marianne Dies for the flower & leaves .

Zing embossing powder in purple & green
