What a scorcher!

Hi, well what a gorgeous Sunday, long may it continue. I managed to get some gardening done this morning before it got too hot and then enjoyed the rest of the day just tatting about. No crafting today, well I did venture into the craft room and OK I did stick a few bits and pieces on a card, well it's difficult not to.


Right then I've decided to join in the Colour Create challenge again this week. I love the cool colour combo of Soft Green and Light Aqua and the DT creations certainly are Cool!
Here's my card.

The image is by Elizabeth Bell for SCACD, I think it's Emma, which I bought from Crafters Companion. It's coloured using my Whisper pens. The papers are just some I had in my drawer, the swirl in the corner is cut using my slice, which I also bought from Crafters Companion, and the other bits and bobs are from my stash.  Oh yes roses are Wild Orchid sprayed with glimmer mist and stickled, although it doesn't show on the pic. 

Well that's it from me tonight, just hope the gorgeous weather continues tomorrow.

Love, Pat xx

Colour Create Challenge

This is my creation for this weeks Colour Create challenge. The theme this week is Chocolate/coffee/cream. I've really enjoyed this challenge as I love this colour combination.

The base card is Bazzill, the DP is from Papermania Creative Tones Antique Creams, the brown layer is a scrap of bazzill and the embossed layered was created using the cuttlebug textile folder. The stamped image is a Penny Black Cinnamon water coloured and the edges coloured with distress ink. The large flower is Flora Doodles which I got from Joanna Sheen and the small flower button brad pearls and ribbon are from stash.

Hopefully I'm back on track now and will have more time for blogging, then again who knows what will crop up tomorrow! Hope you all have a good weekend and the weather is kind.

Love, Pat xx

Colour Create challenge 8

This is my creation for this weeks Colour Create challenge which is Navy, Torquoise and lime. with the option of not using any DP's.

I've used Crafters Companion gorgeous embossed navy card as the base onto which I've layered lime card and torquoise pearl paper, also by CC. I stamped the leaves, cheap clear set from Craft Central before they closed down, onto the lime paper using navy ink and added some torquoise stickles glitter. On the torquoise paper I stamped the sentiment, another bargain bin purchase, with navy ink. The corners were punched using an Xcut punch, the ribbon and metal decorations are from stash and the flowers are from Joanna Sheen.

The DT have come up with some fabulous creations so why not pop over and check them out. By the way I'm the Guest Designer on the challenge next week so please come back and see what I come up with.

Thanks for visiting and please leave a message so that I can visit you too.
