Framed Reflections

Good Morning,

It seems we've swapped the cold and frosty for the wet and windy weather here in the UK ....ideal for staying in and crafting but unfortunately the ironing pile has other ideas!! :0(

Before I cave in to the laundry I thought I'd add my Saturday morning DT card at Make the Day Special to this weeks gallery at CAS(e) this Sketch and Less is More which is a theme week 'Frame It'. It's not often that the card-making gods come together and my card fits the LiM challenge too.... well I think it does???.....

There is a frame there... it's just set lower than the centre panel, 

here's a side shot to show you...

My inspiration came from a new bedding set I bought this week, I saw it and thought "love the colours"..my next thought was "Paper Smooches Reflections stamp set!!"...... does anyone else do that when they're out shopping??? Here's a web photo of thee said bedding.... I could have pretended it was my actual bedroom but there isn't a Lakeland Terror sprawled across the bed. Lol :0).....  'Terror' was not a typo by the way :0)

Just to let you know the latest release from Avery Elle 

has arrived at Make the Day Special 

and are available here

That's all from me, I'm off to do combat with creases and wrinkles!!

Thanks for looking :0)

City Spots and Stripes!!

Hello there,

I'm early this week with my card for the Less is More Challenge#110 which is a one layer week and the remit is spots and stripes. It's times like these when I'm glad I kept a select few of my older wooden backed stamps because I found a Rubber Stampede 'Shirt Stripe' stamp which I paired up with an older Woodware set called 'His Birthday' to make a trendy guys card....

You can see from the picture below that the shirt and tie are plain so with some careful masking and stamping I made a rather fetching shirt and tie combo that would suit any trendy city gent :0)

Not sure I could persuade my hubby to wear a tie this bright and bold, James would love him too... he chooses his dads tie each morning and this would really appeal !!!

Thanks for your visit :0)

A Pastel Treat

Hello there, back again so soon I know :0)

I'm being a last minute Lucy with a second card for the Less is More Challenge.... yes I know, with the colour palette I wasn't too sure about!! What can I say I'm a fickle girl *wink*.

I had originally thought they looked like 'Ice Cream' colours and then Laura's card inspired me to get this cute Lawn Fawn stamp set out.... I even added glitter.. phew, I think I need a little lie down!!

The Crumb Cake card base has been stamped top to bottom with one of the borders from 'Interlocking Backdrops' in Colorbox Frost White and I love the subtle pattern it's made.

I think I've got a better handle on the colours with this card and I definitely like them as ice cream flavours :0)
