Green and Yellow colour challenge

Hello everyone!  I'm so happy to be sharing a card with you today joining in the Less is More colour challenge - firstly, because I always enjoy entering their challenges when I can, and secondly, because today I'm actually feeling well enough to sit at my craft desk.  It's hard to create with a thumping headache every day!  I was inspired by the bright springy cards that were on display on the LIM blog, and so tackled my first attempt at using Altenew's Painted Flowers stamp set.


Wow, this set is amazing - though I must admit to needing some direction as to how to use it.  If you don't know this set, it has 4 flowers, each with 3-step stamping, plus other leaves etc - do look for it on Pinterest, as there are some beautiful examples of what can be achieved with this set.  My attempt uses only two flowers, plus leaves, and I've used two shades of yellow (Memento Cantaloupe and Luxe Dandelion) and green (Memento Luxe, pear tart and pistachio).  Can I say, I'm delighted with how this turned out and will definitely try to do something more adventurous with my next try.  The sentiment is by Inspired by Stamping.

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...
