Paper Players Challenge

Hi All

I hope that you are all having a good day. As I mentioned in one of my earlier post I have decided to enter some new card challenge. Today's challenge from Paper Players is a new one for me and this week is this sketch.(

I do enjoy making cards with apertures in them so I decided to use the circle part as the aperture for this card.


I will be starting a new venture in the near future and this card seems quite appropriate. I will reveal all about the new venture shortly.

This baby card was a joy to make and came together really quickly . The addition of embellishments such as pearls on the pram, ribbon and clear vintage button adds a finishing touch.

Until next time

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.
