CAS at Less is More

This week's challenge at Less is More is to make a One Layer Card with Spots and Stripes.  I love the simplicity of this kind of challenge, which is a challenge in itself!  I am not confident with graphic type layouts, but I'm determined to test myself whenever I can, so using Gina K's Pretty Patterns clear stamp set (being clear helped enormously to line up images) I created this take on spots and stripes.  The memento inks used in the pattern were Paris Dusk (blue) and Teal Zeal.  Please leave a comment if you visit, as I would love to know your feedback

    Wonderful!! I thought that was a single background stamp until I read the post. Great stamping. Love the colors too.

    What a cool card, what fabulous stamping.

    This would be ideal for the 'awkward' teenagers in our lives.

    Love Sheila x

    Yes, I agree with you Sheila - for the 'too cool' teenagers, it is often difficult to find something suitable and a graphic style is sometimes acceptable - lol!

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...
