I love you

Todays card is brought to you by the Papertrey Ink 8th anniversary celebration!! Just loved todays cards and wanted to get in there and make something pretty too!!!

When I started this card all I knew for sure was that I wanted to use the watercolour wonder set to make my own painted background like the new paper coming out!! But thats all I had in mind. To come up with the colour combo I went over to the ColourQ blog to see what this weeks challenge was and the rest came together from there!!!

I stamped all my colours down the front panel of the card. Once I was done that I then die cut the heart out of the front panel. To ensure that I got the words inside the heart I traced the outline of the heart on with a pencil then stamped the sentiment inside the traced heart. Once I erased the pencil marks I popped  up the front panel with foam tape on a white card base I made. And called it good!

Hope you enjoyed!! 
Thanks so much for stopping by!!

love you still

Its been a while since I've taken part in a challenge so I went on over to ColourQ and went with it!!! Pulled out my new Wplus9 set and had some fun!!!! Decided that i wanted to make the circle in the middle of the wreath instead of using the wreath die, just to give it some depth!!  It was an interesting colour combo to work with but I like how it turned out!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

You make me smile

There was just something about this set that captured my eye..Its not my typical style but I had to have it! Was so happy when it arrived in the mail today too!! Had some quiet time with kids at school and babe having a very nice long nap!!! I decided to incorporate it with this weeks ColourQ cause I LOVE the combo! Its so fresh and and summery and plain ol' fun! Thats just my opinion anyway :)

I was also excited to use some sequence on this card...everywhere I look there are so many cards using them...Love the little extra bling it give...and it matched perfectly with the red! How could I not add them??? 

Oh and PS...

as I've mentioned before I often have a hard time making cards with colour combos as opposed to sketches..but a few weeks back I did make it to the ColourQ Courtier!! This is the card! It made my day! Thanks for the great honour!!!

Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Mothers Day!

Hey everyone and happy Friday to you!! Todays card is for a couple of challenges with the first one being for Clean and Simple blog FTL 234..this week is my first ever to be a contributor to the blog (other than in my own time) so make sure to swing on by there!!! Secondly I decided to partake in the ColorQ 182 challenge for the first time ever too! Thought I would continue with the firsts :)

I also decided to try something a little different for me...I wanted to keep it simple but wanted there to be the portion in the middle with a little bit of texture. So first off I stamped the Happy Mothers Day then used versa mark and clear embossing powder of top. Just a nice little subtle detail there!! Also for whatever reason I've been into making my own flowers! I like the way they look!!

Anyway thats all for now! Hope you all have a great Easter weekend!!! We are just starting our spring break here with the kids! Enjoying the great outdoors and wonderful weather!!

Thanks for stopping by
