Engagement card

Hi Ladies

My daughter Rachele asked me if I would make an engagement card for a friend of hers. I thought that I would combine that with a blog challenge that I have not entered before. The ladies at Clean and Simple Stamping which is a fortnightly challenge have set a sketch :

This is a challenge which I have really enjoyed because I love paper piercing , you can get some really nice effects with it . This is what I produced.


The sketch is really nice and I can see myself using it again and again, there are so more ways that you could use it.
Materials used:
Cardstock: RegalRose, Whisper White
Stampsets : I { Heart} Hearts, So  Happy for you
Stamp pad: Perfect Plum
Tools: Stamp- a - majig, paper piercing tool,  bard

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.
