Thougt id share with you today the card i made for the Colour Q challenge 154.

To start with i want to sure on the colours… but after laying them together and having a play around with some stamps, I was soon convinced at how lovely they can look… take a look at my card:

I felt the backgraound looked to white so added the cute little splodges from French Foliage.. think there chesnuts really, but i love that stamp for filling in..

Hope you like my card.. heres a list of the supplies Ive used:

Mixed Bunch, French Foliage and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, Love Blossoms roller, Ink and card stock – as challenge but Calypso Coral instead of Cameo Coral as i didnt have that, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Word Window Punch and Blossom Punch, Autumn Accent Bigz Die.

Motorcycle farewell

 

So I couldnt put this one in the box either without a little play… The Motorcyle wood mount stamp is retiring too…

£7.95 wood mount single stamp

With a male friends birthday a day away i thought perfect stamp for him specially as he’s a petrol head hehehe!!

 

I stamped the bike and then with my ink and blender pen carefully coloured it in, not my favourite colouring in… but i tried to give the bike shadows and dimension.. can you see???

The striped paper is from the new paper stack in the Autumn and winter Catalogue, page 20, its called Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack and you get 48 sheets of double sided sheets. There are some stunning papers and there not well i dont think just Christmassy.. The papers are 11.4 x 16.5cm so perfect for C6 or A6 cards.

My Sentiment is stamped on the Word window, from the Teeny Tiny wished Stamp set then mounted on to a Modern label punched in Early Espresso ink.

Supplies: Motorcycle stamp @ £7.95 (retiring) Teeny Tiny Wishes. Very Vanilla, Early Espresso and Island Indigo Card stock and ink.

Interested in any products or supplies used today I’d love to order them for you and dont forget retiring items are only available while stocks last, to place an order email or call me today on 01842 828643 i’ll be more than happy to help you.

Till next time… xx Laura xx
