Anything Goes Challenge At Petal Lu

Hello!

Wow! It's been some time since my last post.  Sorry about that!  I have been busy crafting and finishing cards, I've just not had the time to blog them.

It's Challenge time over at Petal Lu and this month is Anything Goes.  We don't have a second sponsor this month so Petal Lu decided you could win an exclusive box of Petal Lu Blooms all expenses paid for, so non UK residents don't have to worry about postage costs.

The design team this month have really gone to town, so be sure to go say hello.

Here is my design for your inspiration.

The stamp is from Lili Of The Valley, it's my go to stamp for weddings, such a cute image and lends to vintage so well too.

I'm hooked on Frantage, so sprinkled a bit of that on!  Can't believe it's taken me so long to find it!

Flowers, you just can't have a Petal Lu card without Petal Lu Flowers. I just love the fact that the flower colours match papers and card stock so well. Here is your link to the shop.

A beautiful big, blinged bow!  I've been practising since my friend Stacy showed me how, now I can't make a card without a bow ;)

I'm really pleased with how this turned out and hope that the bride and groom fall in love with it too.

So, there you have it, follow the links to the challenge blog and go have some fun, I can't wait to see what you all make.

If you have time too, come and say hello on my facebook page.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges;

Anything Goes - Crafty Sentiments Designs
Anything Goes - Sweet Stamps
Anything Goes - Through the Craft Room Door


Lots of love

Christmas Crafting! No time like the present!

Hi Everyone!

I'm not long back from our family summer holiday of which I was lucky enough to be able to take a bucket load of images and copics to sit and relax with.  I did hit a few stumbling blocks, like a light breeze which took a few images to the lake, but all in all, I had a wonderful time and coloured a few treasures.

This little image is from the Sugar Nellie Range, I just love all the images from them.

 

It's time to start crafting for Christmas, there is so many cards to make.  I hope you like her.

uuu

 

Flower embellishments are from Petal Lu, colours matched perfectly to the little girls dress.

Hello!

Rained today! Told you it wouldn't last long!

Today's card is made using one of my favourite images from All Dressed Up.  I think I have finally used all of my purchased images which means it might be time to go buy some more!!!

 

I coloured this image a few weeks ago, so I'm afraid I can't remember the colour combo's.

Papers and embellishments are from my stash and flowers from Petal Lu.
