Calming Bouquet

Shades of pink with the contrast of black and I immediately thought of the Calming Bouquet washi tape.

Thought I would go with a slimline card this time. I hand drew the line to give a frame.

Rainbow Colours

I can't resist rainbow colours ... and this time I'm pairing them with the crisply graphic leaves from Uniko (Natures Treasures II) and the bold butterfly from Ellen Hutson (in the Up the Happy set).

I used the MFT Stitched Interactive Window Trio die to make my own stencil (I had to cut the part that would have been the hinge). I love the way the colour has gone through the stitches too.

Artist Flower

 At one stage brown was quite "in" ... brown & pink, brown & turquoise ...

And it's back again.

Playing with my NBUS die Artist Flower No3. I was originally going to go very CAS and use plain colours, but I think the pink I used was too intense (see the second card - which is the first one I made).

Which one do you prefer?

I am happy to be a guest designer at the Color Hues Challenge this week.

Here is this week's challenge 

I have so many new supplies I think my brain might fry! I should not be allowed any new products for a year.  So I had so use my NBUS supplies : SSS Etched Magnolia dies and the leaves from Etched Meadow flower. Love the dimension you get with this flower.

The background was created using the Altenew Kind Confetti which I only inked once, but stamped twice. 

We're looking forward to seeing your creations.
