A Play Date The Alley Way...



Two of my favourites together!  The Alley Way Stamps are sponsoring this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge - and with such a FAB colour inspiration, how could I resist!  

Throw in a sketch from Retro Sketches - and it's a match made in heaven!!!  I used  The Alley Way Stamps Awesome Blossom to create my three off-set stamped panels, together with this sentiment from Talk to Me. The die-cut butterfly is from Spellbinders, and this gorgeous wood-grained paper from My Mind's Eye.
Perfect for the Inchies Challenge at City Crafter too!
 

Why don't you come and Play ... You know you want to LOL!

This made me smile...

A CASual Catered Colour Throwdown...




Would you believe me if I told you in real life these colours are much more muted!

In the mood for pink with this weeks fab Color Throwdown and Catered Crop Think Pink Challenges.  The first version I made of this card felt a bit flat, so I added some CAS-ual Friday Embossing for extra dimension.  Die cut my flowers in dark green - to create the shadow layer, and white - which I then watercoloured using Melon Mambo.  Couldn't resist adding some glittery sparkle to this gorgeous The Alley Way Stamps Awesome Blossom butterfly, topped off with Kaisercraft pearls.

Less is More Awesome...


Pink & Brown
I couldn't resist that title now could I!!!  For this weeks Less is More Pink & Brown Challenge - I had to go with fuschia, 'cause I'm just not a pale pink kinda girl, and what goes better with fuschia than dark, dark chocolate - at least 70%!  And 'cause it's pink it perfectly suits this weeks Catered Crop In the Pink too!

I LOVE the versatility of The Alley Way Stamps Awesome Blossom set - here I've used the small petals to create an almost lotus-like flower, adding a small button and twine stalks.  As I have repeated my flowers - in an odd way as you do - it is perfect for the Card Design Handbook Week Repetition Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. The "What's Up" sentiment was created from the Ghoul-friend set, just adding a question mark from Alphabet Soup.

I love this fibre ribbon I purchased at Create on Ormond when I caught up with a friend recently :)  I wrapped the ribbon around some white cardstock and pop-dotted it so the twine stems would tuck neatly behind, and I could stretch the twine to secure the sentiment chipboard in place.  The chipboard is covered in MME paper - love that it looks like an old wooden sign.

Join in the fun @ Repetition Challenge over at Moxie Fab World, til September 24th

Loving the new The Alley Way Stamps Awesome Blossom set!  To create the background I used one of the flower images randomly stamped watercolour paper in Versamark Watermark ink then heat embossed in clear, then randomly stamped with Versamark Watermark ink and Stampin' Up Concord Crush, before swiping the entire background with Distress Ink Shaded Lilac.  The Awesome Blossom butterfly was clear embossed onto Concord Crush cardstock, then fussy cut.  I created the sentiment with a combination of The Alley Way Design Christmas Magic, Chatterbox and Alphabet Soup, heat embossed in Zing Pewter, together with some alphas from my stash.  Inspired by the purple hues at Dynamic Duos.
