For this card I've used the 'shaving foam background technique (there is a tutorial here if you haven't come across this before). This was stamped with one of my favourite Magenta stamps.

I used the sketch for Stamptacular 119:

Papers are again from the Pink Petticoat wild blossoms collection (the pad was still out and they are so pretty so I couldn't resist using some again). Dotty sticky ribbons and sentiment added.

This is also for:

The stamp man 27: anything by T!m! (I used alcohol inks with the shaving foam)

Sentimental Sundays 63: inky fingers - unconventional stamping materials or techniques

Pile it on 28: show us your favourite technique (one of my favourites - anything with inking and stamping)

Pastel birthday

This card is for the sketch on Corrosive 124:

It's also for the colour challenge on Come and get it:

Papers are from Pink Petticoat wild blossoms collection, cutting out flowers from one of the papers to add to the sentiment circle which was cut with a Nelli Snellen die. Just the addition of some spotty sticky ribbon and the card was done.

Summery colours

After all the rain this morning, I feel I need some summery colours to cheer up the day. The sun made a brief appearance a little while ago, but already covered by the clouds again. It's the kind of day to stay in and craft.

This card is for Birthday Sundaes 17, which asks for the summery colours of orange, green and white.

The background paper is BG Lilykate and the image is from Glitterbabe - which is for the 'floral' challenge this week on I did it creations, where the prize is being sponsored by Glitterbabe.

Flowers are from stash with card candy in the centres and a piece of spotty sticky ribbon down the side.

Sorry the photo is looking quite dull - the card is a lot brighter irl.
