What is outside my window?

What a fun challenge over at Less is More today - 'what is outside your window?'  I have been unable to play along with my favourite challenge for some weeks due to being in temporary accommodation, and having much of my craft supplies in storage.  Well, I'm still in the same circumstance, but when I saw this week's challenge, I just had to try to join in!   I have included a photo of exactly what is outside my window at present - a Feijoa fruit tree, and a bird feeder.  It is a delightful outlook, shielding this little cottage from the road nearby, and providing lots of interest.  At night of course, possums visit to eat or play in the trees!  They are louder than you'd think!



So here is my CAS interpretation of this view.



Stamps:  WPlus9 - Folk Art Florals
Die:  Mama Elephant 'Thanks' script cut from dark green card from my stash
Ink:  Hero Arts Shadow inks - Green Hills, Field Greens, Passion Flower
Stencil:  MFT Cloudy Day

It's good to be back, and thank you for visiting!

    Whatvan absolutely gorgeous card! I love the colours and the design you've gone for. The cloud stencil in the background really sets it all off nicely. Great job!

    Your card is so beautiful Ann. The way you have continued those pale clouds onto the base card stock is wonderful. That is such a pretty outlook that you have there. Thank you for joining us this week at Less is More (and I hope you get all your crafty stash back soon!)

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...
