Simply stampin Challenge 47

Hi Ladies
This week the challenge at Simply Stampin is a colour combo. We have to use the colours below in our designs:

So have entered this design:
I have a Pretty in Pink stamp pad but I have searched and searched for it but can't find it so I have had to use the Pink Pirouette stamp pad for the frame which is annoying because it would look better in the darker pink. There is a small amount of paper piercing in two of the corners which you can just about see in this photo.
Materials used:
Cardstock: Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink.
Designer Series Paper:Cheerful Treat.
Ribbon: Wisteria Wonder ruffled ribbon.
Stampset: Everything Eleanor
Tools: Scalloped punch and piercing tool
Stamp pads: Wisteria Wonder, Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo

Hope you like it , if so please pop back tomorrow when I will post some news about our next event to be held on Valley Park in Chandlers Ford.

    Ooooh, so pretty Margaret, love those swirls! Such a feminine card!

    I can't find my black pigment ink pad - I reckon it's hanging out with your PiP ink pad somewhere!

    Thanks so much for playing along with us at Simply Stampin' and I hope you join us again soon! Ruth x

Lovely as a tree

Image
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.
