CAS Heart

Hi everyone!  Hoping your Australia Day was celebrated well and wisely, but our thoughts must also be with our fellow Australians in Queensland who face the prospect of even more flooding, having just recovered from the floods of 2011.  We hope you all keep safe and avoid even more damage.
My card today has been made for CAS - colours and sketches - challenge #9.  This week it is a sketch as you can see,

so here is my take on it.  I stamped the background paper with a Background stamp from Annabelle Stamps (BBD#3), and then overstamped the dots with tiny hearts.  The focal image is a digi stamp from Sweet n' Sassy, and I added two little hearts with the word 'Love' on them with a pin.
I am also entering this card into the SNSDC#89, which is All White - that is, the paper and card must start out all white, though may be coloured by the participant.  To ensure a perfect match with my background paper, I sponged just the edges of my matting card with Memento Lady Bug ink.  I think this card will suit this challenge very well, and I'm using a SnS digi image!

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...

You should have arrived here from  Angela's  amazing blog but if you didn't and want to start at the beginning, just click on the SBB blog link above and start again!   Here is this month's gorgeous mood board, to inspire you!  It may be the butterflies, the colours, the designs - whatever takes your fancy!  I love using butterflies in my cards, so I was very happy with this challenge!  I was inspired by the idea of drifts of butterflies and those lovely pink colours! To create my stencil for the background butterflies, I punched from acetate a small butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch, and sponged the negative space with Distress Inks - either Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick, movin...
