Dream

Dream is the theme for this week at Less is More - and it's a one-layer card!  I loved the sound of this challenge, so I'll get straight to it!


This ethereal image (a freebie set by Indigo Blu in the magazine Australian Simply Cards) has been stamped in ombre ink, and clear embossed.  When thoroughly dry and cool - and rubbed with an anti-static bag, I scribbled various parts of the image with a Quickie glue pen, and sprinkled glitter on, and left it to dry.  The sentiment by Inspired by Stamping, has been inked with Dapper Denim by Stampin' Up!  A couple of score lines to ground my image and some coordinating sequins and my one-layer card is complete.


I have tried again to capture the sparkle, but not too successfully I'm afraid.  However, even without the sparkle, I feel it is pretty enough:)

    Beautiful card Ann. The ombré ink has really been enhanced with the glitter that you added to give an ethereal look to the card. It's a fabulous image paired with the perfect sentiment. Thank you so much for joining us at Less s More. xx

Wow!  Where has the year gone already?  We will soon be caught up with the 'busyness' of Christmas, summer and holidays no doubt, so I'm happy to welcome you to this month's Blog Hop and Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - let's have fun while we can! 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!

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...
