Who framed Petal Parade?

So the Sale-a-bration promotion is drawing to a close now and I still can't decide which of the free stamp sets is my favourite! I've certainly used Petal Parade a lot, in pastel colours mainly but when I saw the new Fusion challenge (scroll down to see) I wondered how it would look in greens and yellows. Come and see:


I've always liked a simple square card with a square focal panel and this frame, cut out with my square framelits, is a twist on that.


The flowers have been stamped in Gumball Green and then given a sunny centre by pressing an inked up sponge dauber into the centre of it. I added some dots with a Basic Black marker to add a bit more detail and then cut them out. The leaves are the useful branch from the 2 step bird punch.


This fabulous banner is from a set that I'm going to be using a lot more - Hello Lovely. It has loads of tile-like elements - perfect for men's cards - as well as lots of graphic elements like this sentiment.

I really like the Fusion  challenge, which always has a sketch and an inspiration picture and you can choose whether you use one or the other or both. Here are this week's:


I'm a 'both' kind of a girl - can you tell?!

When I say I'm a 'both' kind of girl, I'm practically Winnie the Pooh's twin... remember the bit where Rabbit asks if he'd like condensed milk or honey with his bread? Pooh's reply is: "Both - and never mind the bread!"

See you tomorrow,
