Triple Challenge Card

 Recently I have had the urge to update/upgrade my craft space, and today is the first real chance I have had to play in it since the makeover so I wanted to make the most of it and join in three challenges at once!  Friday Mashup challenge to use spring theme or colours; Just Add Ink challenge to add Layers; and Freshly Made Sketches for the sketch.

I was initially going to use by Beautifully Baroque stamp in the left hand panel, but decided I wanted to use my new Happy Watercolour instead.  I love the way that this turned out, and how easily it makes 'colouring' an image!  Colours are Crushed Curry and Pool Party which go beautifully with the DSP.

I will be posting photos of the revamped craft space soon, I just need to sort it out a bit more.  Most frustrating part is that everything has changed where it lives, I had difficulty finding my camera to take the picture lol.  

Happy Stamping

Fresh Sale-A-Bration

I just love the Sale-A-Bration DSP and the 2013-15 In-Colours and The chance to use both in the Just Add Ink and Freshly Made Sketches challenges was right up my alley.

I was a bit taken with the sketch and wanted to use my new stamp set Happy Watercolor, I also knew that the Sale-A-Bration Sweet Sorbet DSP would go perfectly with the poppy, and give some pretty interest to the background.  I quite like sentiments put on sideways, particularly with this type of sketch, and I wanted to use Pistachio Pudding Ruffle Ribbon on the right of the flag instead of taking the card stock all the way across.  I think it gives a pretty feel to the card.  

I wanted to show you a close up of the flower and embellishment.  I cut part of the poppy  from a second image and layered it over the main image.  I also cut down between the petals so they would curl up independently.  The small embellishment was made using two of the punches from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, the scallop circle as the flower and the four petal punch as the leaves.

Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to visit both of the challenge sites to check those creations too.
