I challenged myself to create a simple card for this challenge. I had the fun and wonderful opportunity to create with a demonstrator friend and use her beautiful Cheerful Daisies Bundle.

The card base and mat layers are Basic White card stock. The top layer was embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. I have to tell you this is my favourite product from the mini catalogue!! ANd is on high rotation in my craft room.

I have cut a circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies for my focal piece. I die cut the Daisies leaves and sprigs in Basic White card stock. The leaves were coloured with Soft Sea Foam ink using a blending brush and the centre of the daisies with a very light touch with the Calypso Coral. I adhered all the pieces with glue and Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamaped in Old Olive ink on Basic White card stock,. The label from the bundle used to die cut the sentiment. I adhered it to the bottom right of the circle die. I tied a length of White Bakers Tine in a double bow and adhered to the left hand side of the card.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you will join us for this colour challenge.

Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - Colour Challenge

Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop for November!

Below is an image of where the crew are from around the globe. Such a wonderful group of creatives wanting to inspire you. This months theme is a colour challenge. 

We were asked to either use traditional or coastal colours. I have gone with traditional colours. Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Gold.

The card base is Basic White as is the mat layer. I have embossed the matt layer with the Painted Trees Embossing Folder. I then stamped the smaller tree row on a piece of 1cm x 10cm Basic White card stock I then tore this down above and below the trees before glueing to the card front.

I used Shaded Spruce ink and a water painter to colour a 10 cm x 14cm piece of card stock. I left areas of the card stock darker and some areas lighter for contrast. I die cut three of the trees and glued them to the right hand side of the card.

I ran a length of the Gold Twisted Thread around the trees securing in the front in a double bow.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark™ink on Cherry Cobbler card stock. Sprinkled with gold embossing powder and set with the heat tool. I cut the sentiment down close to the letters and adhered it to the top of the thread with Dimensionals. Finishing my card with three White Loose Snowflakes adhered with glue.

Up next on this months Blog Hop is my friend Rochelle Laird-Smith.
