Just Us Girls Trend Week

 Today's post is for the New Challenge at

Just Us Girls and

it's Trend Week and Hosting is Sue choosing

After several attempts and choosing the wrong dies

my card came about by accident.

I was die cutting the main flower for another card

and the penny dropped - this would look great

as a stenciled background!

So you will see two cards in quick succession

with this same flower. I have only recently got 

Tim's Wildflower Stems #1

Both sides of stencil - one for the inked background

the other some nearly dried up crackle paste.

How easy it was to use that die as a stencil!

and a close up

Items used are

Watercolour paper/white card base

Tim's Wildflower Stems #1

Kitsch Flamingo Oxide Ink

Head over and see how my Team Mates

with this weeks Trend.

Inspired by Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Popping in here quickly for the

Daring Cardmakers Challenge  

Inspiration Challenge

with these gorgeous Mood Board colours.

We need to take at least three elements from the board

and of course I chose the colours as one.

After checking it out to see what I could

 incorporate in my card, the first thing I noticed was 

the lovely big monstera deliciosa leaf

and it happens to be in my favourite

SU Botanical Blooms Stamp/Die Set

So of course the flowers are part of my minimum elements

as is the leaf hiding at the back.

A bonus here was the Designer Paper I used

matched perfectly which I used as 

the background for another element.

Added a simple sentiment and 

some tiny stamped flowers to the side.

My big gem is another element as it is a circle.

There certainly is lots of inspiration  in that

Mood Board. Thank You Enfys for a 

Super Fun Challenge.

A close up

This was a nice way to relax after finishing off 

some lawn mowing.

You are 'Amazing'

 

It's time for our New Challenge  at The Sisterhood of Crafters

and we are looking for

Anything Feminine and  must Include Flowers

How easy is that! We all love Flowers!

I thought it a perfect time to use a few of my

bought flowers.

Background has  some random stenciling

and distressed edges.

Floral arrangement adhered in front of

some pieces of bark from my yard, cheesecloth 

and art stones. This was attached to some

brightly coloured DP to match, then a

scattering of coloured pearls and

finished with the sentiment.

Head over and check out what 

beautiful floral cards the Sistahs made

and head into your craft den,

create your feminine floral art

and add it to the Gallery. 

Look forward to seeing it full

of wonderful flowers.

Thanks for visiting.

Merry Christmas!

 Time for our February Challenge at

Christmas Craft Creations

Our theme is to use Blue and Silver.

Such lovely softness!

My background was created with

my go to Lindy's Magical's then has 

iridescent medium sponged with a baby wipe

for more silvery shine.

My ARTplorations Christmas Tree stencil

was then smothered with the 

iridescent medium and texture paste

and allowed to dry overnight.

This was then attached to a

patterned metallic paper

slightly popped and finished with

a simple inked Merry Christmas

and a few pearls to complete.

Pop over and see what my Team Mates created

and hope to see yours in our Gallery.

Thanks for visiting.

Holly and Ivy Merry Christmas

The New Challenge for 

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge

A very simple card using designer paper

embossing on red card which is a little hard to see

and ribbon to separate.

Die cut my Merry Christmas sentiment

and popped in front of gold ribbon.

Head over and see what the rest of the Team created

and come join in and add yours to the Gallery.
