Hello, crafting friends!
There's a new colour challenge in Blogland! It's called AAA Colourful and is the sister challenge to AAA Cards and AAA Birthday which we all know and love. The challenges start mid-month and close on the 14th so there's time to join in. Come on you crafters - let's show some support!
I missed the first challenge but here is the mood board for this month and I couldn't resist these gorgeous colours. Here's what I made:
There was a discarded piece of white card that had been die cut with an Arch die on my table, so I stamped it with Waffle Flower's Poppy Hawthorn stamp set which was also out on my desk. (Do you think I should clear up?!) I coloured the flowers with Arteza watercolour brush pens (also out on my table!!) and left the panel to dry.
Meanwhile, I trimmed a piece of Stampin' Up gingham DSP to size and glued it to a card base, adding a coordinating strip of card on the top. The dry floral panel was stamped with a sentiment and a line and secured to the card front with dimensional pads.
CHALLENGES
I'll be linking this card up at AAA Colourful :)
AND IN OTHER NEWS
Eva has disgraced herself I'm afraid. We went for a walk at a location we haven't been to for a long time and she was so excited she had a little roll in something very foxy indeed. The drive home was a little er, 'fragrant' and I don't think my OH will be coming out with us again for a while! After a full shampoo and blow dry, normal nasal service was resumed, but Eva looked like this:
What a beautiful card, Vicky and perfect for your challenge photo. You were very clever to use the arch shape this way - it makes for a gorgeous design. I'm glad to hear that Eva is fragrant again after he bath lol! Why are they so attracted to fox poo!!!

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Always love a "just a note" card, great to have at hand. I also love the design, the combination of the flowers and the gingham paper and the soft colours you've used for the flowers. Beautiful colouring too!
