Happy Wednesday All,
Today's post is for the Create With Connie and Mary Colour Challenge this week. Part of this challenge is to only use Stampin' Up! products, which I can do but I do use other brands also for some of the challenges I participate in.  So here is my card using Stampin' Up! only...... I love this stamp set, although I have used basic techniques I love the colours and how it came together, especially when I started I had something quite different in my mind.  Funny how the outcome can change. LOL.

CR84FN#35 Colour Challenge - Irises

Happy Thursday Everyone,
Today's post is for the Cupcake Creations Colour Challenge this week.  The latest thing in Papercrafting seems to be stamping on Print, so I have made this card doing just that.  The print is only quite light so my water colouring has blended and hidden the print behind my image.  I do like the effect it has on the eye.  My border was made using the Martha Stewart Garden Trellis Punch, cut into 4 pieces and reassembled to make the square.  I followed a tutorial by Becca Feeken on her blog here.



Supplies:
Stamps: Flourishes Calendar Set 2, S/U's Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card and Papers: Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Lavender Lace, Basic Grey, DSP Patterns Pack, - Neutrals
Ink:  Stazon Black, Basic Grey
Markers: Lavender Lace, Certainly Celery, Basic Grey

Odette Kermode's Gorgeous Box Card

Hi Folks,
Today I wanted to show you a fabulous card that my friend Odette designed and created.  It lays flat when unopened and once opened it bursts forth with an array of indivdually cut out flowers and greenery and has a box shaped base.  Simply gorgeous!! 

It definately has a WOW factor, I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it.  I don't think Odette has a blog so I can't link you to it, but she is a very talented stamper.

Thanks' for stopping by today.  Take Care.
