Something French

Less is More has a one layer challenge this week, and the theme is 'something French'.  Ooh la la!  so many things we think of when we think French, but one layer - so no dies!!

When we have visited Provence, we have loved the rolling fields of lavender, so this has been my choice this week:


Card recipe:
Stamps:  'Lavender' by Power Poppy - image stamped wet on watercolour paper, sentiment stamped with Versafine Onyx Black, using the Misti to stamp twice.
Colour:  Distress Markers

    What a beautiful card Ann! I love how you've used lavender to make such a pretty French theme. The wet stamping gives a lovely soft, dreamy effect. Thanks so much for sharing at Less is More :)

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...

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...
