After a long couple of days at work, I really needed to craft to help reset my mind and help me relax.
So I went to my challenges emails and here are the results of my efforts 🙂
Card #1 – I played along with the challenge over on The Ton with a fabulous mood board. I was inspired by the colours of the flowers and the heart image in the board.
I used a gorgeous set called ‘Marvelous Perfumes’ and stamped 2 of the bottles and gold embossed then roughly colouring in with my Zig markers. I added some gold thread in a messy pile and added them to a cream heart doily.
Card #2 – I played along with 2 challenges; CAS-ual Fridays Stamps sketch and The Card Concept inspiration photo. I was inspired by the colours of the photo, the creams and subtle blues and the sketch layout lead itself to a clean and layered style card.
I used CAS-ual Fridays stamp set called ‘Loving Thoughts” which I white heat embossed on vellum and then coloured the back with my blue Zig marker; dimensionals, a pearl and some gold tape finish the card off.
I’m feeling pretty relaxed now, so might head off to bed.
Thanks for looking and have a great night/day!
