Pals Paper Arts Weekly Challenge

Today is the first day in what seems forever I have had a chance to participate in blogs and get some card making done.  I fear I have lost my mojo a bit as I have had 6 weeks of awful back/sciatic pain but good strong painkillers and some Bowen therapy is helping sort me out.

The blogs I follow and participate in work so hard and despite fearing I'm off my game I still want to enter to ensure a good response and to be supportive.   Here is what I have made.

I used A Wink Of Stella on the pegs and the White Perfect Accents, which have been coloured gold with a Sharpie to add some subtle sparkly glitter.

Why not head over to the PPA blog HERE and check out some more goodies made for PPA266..

Take care of you.

Colour Q Weekly Challenge

Today's card I have made for the Colour Q challenge and what a challenge it was. I struggle when I am challenged to leave my usual colour palette but I am happy with how this card turned out.

I used Wisteria Wonder card and ink, So Saffron card and ink, Bermuda Bay and Twisted Tangelo inks. 

To embellish I used some Wink Of Stella on the Wisteria Wonder hearts and enamel dots from my stash. 

Why not check out other designs over in the Colour Q blog. 

I hope you have enjoyed this card and hope to see you back here tomorrow for another card.  Take care of you.

Rubic or Square Card

Last night in a moment of inspiration having seen a photograph by My Favourite Things on Instagram I made this card.

I used black as the accent and used a Project Life framelit from Stampin' Up' then made a narrower one in Whisper White.

I then went about making lots of odd shapes using my Dienamics stitched dies.  I had to run them through my Big Shot several times to make smaller shapes.  In total for this card approx 18 times!  I then used Pool Party on bottom left, Daffodil Delight, Tangelo Twist and Mint Macaron on the remaining.  I then used rhinestones from Stampin' Up! To decorate.

Inspired by last night's card I then made this, which is similar to the original on Instagram.

This is Mint Macaron and Heidi Swapp foil papers for the Minc.  I used the Basic Shapes steel rule die from Sizzix.

The accent here is Pink Pirouette and ink used is Mint Macaron, Pool Party and Pink Pirouette.  I added two Bitty butterflies punch in various paper and velum then a sequin and rhinestones were added.  Again as my Dienamics die's are rectangles there was lots of die cutting to create squares.  Lastly, the sentiment was heat embossed in silver embossing powder from Stampin' Up!

I hope today has been kind for you.  Take care of you.
