For Weddings and a Valentine's Day...





Loved this gorgeous colour palette from The Colour Room combined with sketch inspiration from Mojo Monday - this week we're looking through the round window!

Had fun making red felt roses using My Favorite Things Minature Rolled Roses - just need to remember to roll from the outside of the diecut to the inside - doesn't work quite as well in reverse ;) I also used the Lifestyle Craft Floral Rose and Swiss Dots embossing folders - the ribbon across the centre makes hiding the overlap in the embossing easy! I love this couple stamp - stamped once in black ink on white cardstock and a second time in white StazOn ink on black cardstock, then hand cut the suit and top hat and added the coloured bow-tie and matching flowers to tie the colour scheme together. I adhered two sheets from Making Memories notepaper together to create the scalloped edge. This is the first time I have made a round card - folded an A4 piece of cardstock in half and cut an almost complete circle using my Fiskars circle cutter - too easy!

Many thanks for dropping by - much appreciated :)

PS. Having some technical issues today so sorry for the multiple listings / missing links in Mojo Monday

Of Friends and Snowflakes...


I LOVE that Challenges make you think outside the square - or in this case, inside the square LOL!  I have teamed up this gorgeous colour palette from Colour Throwdown Challenge with this divine sketch from  Sketch Saturday.

I couldn't resist bringing this little Inkadinkado snowman out one more time!  This time I teamed him up with a sentiment from My Favourite Things Flopsy Snowflake.  The background is dry embossed using the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder, and the white swiss dots hand cut following the Buzz and Bloom wonky scallop border - I love how it looks like snow piled up on the roof :)
I have used Spellbinders Floral Doily Motive behind the snowman.  I had fun testing out my new Christmas present - a circle cutter from Fiskars - makes cutting circles a breeze!

Many thanks for stopping by - much appreciated :)
