Simply Stampin Challenge #37

This weeks challenge from the ladies at Simply Stampin is from a sketch.
I used the beautiful stamp Simply Soft and used my new Aqua Painters to make the flowers look very soft. The colours used were Marina Mist and Chocolate Chip . Papers from Beau Chateau were distressed with Chocolate Chip were added as well as a piece of ribbon in Chocolate Chip. The card was finished off with paper piercing in the corners.

    I love the colours you've puit together Margaret, and the piercing in the top corner adds great texture.
    Thanks for joining us this week at Simply Stampin'.

Lovely as a tree

Both the Less is More Challenge  and the Simply Stampin Challenge  have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week. The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
