Miss Pinks Craft Spot

The long weekend is almost over, I managed to get some crafty time this afternoon and decided to use not one, but 2 retiring sets after seeing a gorgeous card crated by Lyssa  when I was scrolling through Pinterest. I adore the "bokeh look" background that you can easily create with Beauty Abounds, I stamped off once using Seaside Spray and So Saffron, and then stamped again. Sahara Sand is the perfect accompaniment to the soft blue and yellow bokeh, I roughed up the edges and added some Pastel Pearls and I was done! Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month.  I’ve listed the products I used below, just click on the picture and be taken directly to the product.  I truly appreciate your support, it inspires me to keep crafting and helps to keep my blog and YouTube channel running. If you live in Australia and don't already have a Demonstrator I'd love to be yours.  Dandelion Wishes Beauty...

I do like the slimline cards, they give a whole new level of creativity to your designs, so naturally when I saw the Slimline sketch challenge over  at Hand Stamped Sentiments  I had to join in. I haven't played with watercolours for quite some time, I'd even go as far to say that I'm out of practice, but I persisted, and eventually had a background that I was happy with for this sketch. I used Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape and Melon Mambo for my "circle", however, the watercolour had a mind of its own, and also created the outer elements - that's my story and I'm sticking to it! As the I lifted the colurs off the paper they faded, but still had a nice intensity, so I paired with different cardstock, being Highland Heather and Magenta Madness, things were definitely coming together. For my focal point I used the gorgeous Butterfly Beauty die, I trimmed 2 of the butterflys off so it would fit the card, then for some magic - I decided to try add Metallic Mes...

Some simple stamping for a Sunday afternoon, my last day of annual leave, back to the 9-5 day job tomorrow, it's been a lovely 3 weeks. After trying some watercolour this morning, I went back to stamping, and came up with this card oh so quickly - I also forgot that you need to allow for watercolour backgrounds to dry! Inspiration for the layout came from this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch challenge: I used Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape and Magenta Madness for my bokeh look using the Beauty Abounds stamp set, I couldn't decide on a sentiment, then I eyed Butterfly Gala sentiments and a touch of bling with Rhinestone Jewels and I was done.

Hello crafty peeps, it's been a while since I've posted.... I've struggled a little with the conversion to work from home with my 9 - 5 job so that we can social distance. Things need to be done a little different when you don't have face to face contact, learning how to use the Teams software, and whilst it's been relatively smooth, some things just take longer, and then there are the video calls - approx 5 hrs of them on Thursday, I'm exhausted by the end of the day! I got back into my craft room this morning and tried to get come creative mojo happening, I went to a "pink" theme, that always helps - I had lots of "thoughts" and ended up with several stamp sets on my desk, butterflies seemed to be calling me. I made the decsiion to use Beauty Abounds, here's my creation: I've decided I'm going to make cards to send to keep in touch with people while we are social distancing, so the "hello" sentiment was ...
