Especially for You

Today I'm stamping via Skype with my friend Vikki and we're both feeling low on imagination....so I suggested we just open one of our favourite challenge sites and make that project.  So I chose the layout at Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge #229 and the colours from Colour Me CM#82 - coral, navy and white.  I scrounged in my stash of pre-made backgrounds and chose this coral and navy piece, sliced it in three and decided to arrange it on a pale coral background (the plain white was too stark).  Then I cut and stamped a banner in bright coral and then used my Distress Inks to colour up  a few flower layers and moulded to shape when it was dry. I punched some mini flowers and arranged them on the card with white pearl centres.  Thanks for taking a peek

Especially for You

A little mauve card for a birthday or friend from my desk this afternoon. I've used the layout from the Inspired by Stamping July Blog Hop  and incorporated some background paper with small polka dots to run with the theme at Annabelle stamps ac167.  At Papertake Weekly the challenge is to use a diecut or punch on you card - I cut a double scallop circle to create a frame and a white frilly one to mount the sentiment.Thanks for taking a peek
