Hey crafty friends welcome back!
I hope you've had a wonderful festive season and before I head into
the latest challenge from Less is More I'd like to wish you all a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
... so here we are with the first challenge of 2016 and it's
Colour Week and we're looking for NEUTRALS
EDIT: and note to self - don't set up posts late at night as you'll forget important stuff!!
So here's what should have been included!
"We also have a brand new sponsor this year, Kylie of
Happy Little Stampers
What's more Kylie is guest designing for us today and showcasing her
amazing talent as well as her stamps.
If you haven't come across Kylie's blog you need to check it out!
She's the host of many challenges and creates stunning cards with brilliant videos
sharing tips and techniques every time!"
Here's my card and unfortunately it's just the one for this week!
Haven't quite got into the swing of things again yet although
I've lots of fun and exciting new goodies to play with!
I started out by stamping my teddy bear from Uniko: Sweet Baby then watercoloured
him with Distress inks. Next up I masked him and placed the My Favourite Things:
Concentric Circles stencil over the top add some interest with glittered paste.
To finish the sentiment and die-cut 'baby' are both from a new set
from Clearly Besotted: New Baby (Xmas pressie from the kids!)
I hope you feel inspired to play along and please pop across to my teamies' blogs
to see what wonderful designs they've created for this challenge.
Have fun, thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see
what you come up with for this one!
I love the extra texture you gave this card. Gorgeous! xx
