Pierce your Project

Challenge @339 at Less is More this week is to pierce your project - paper piercing, brads, sewing etc.

I have been wanting to create a card using some of my favourite Stampin' Up! inks, including this new season's colours, so this is what I have 'pierced'.


I stamped several colours of inks using the swipe image from Work of Art (SU), then die cut the Flicker Hearts die by Memory Box, which pierces some of the hearts as well as cutting some out.  So my piercing was achieved without pin pricks, then I mounted up the cut hearts to replace them in their original space, but 3D.  The sentiment is also from Work of Art and uses the new colour Fresh Fig.  My panel is cut using Simon Says Stamp stitched frames.

Other inks are:  Peek-a-Boo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay and Wisteria Wonder.

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...
