A Creative Romance - No Patterned/Designer Papers

Hi everyone!! We have a new challenge today at A Creative Romance . The very lovely Delphine challenged us to use 'No Patterned/Designer Papers'.. eek!!!! 

While I was sitting colouring my Magnolia image I received a text message asking me to make a wedding card - I could not have timed it better, lol. Soooo pulling on my big girl panties I grabbed white card, embossing folders, dies and punches and got to work. :D 

I stamped my image onto Make it Crafty Blending card and coloured with copic markers. The dies I've used are a mix of Spellbinders and La-La Land Crafts Rolled Roses Small, Medium & Large and the leave are made from the Large Flourish die. I also added a punched butterfly and embellished with white sparkly pearls. 

I will be back later with my La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Friday make..... 

Thanks for popping in!!

A Creative Romance - Don't Be Square

Good afternoon!! We are on the home stretch for the school summer break and I am so ready for it. I am looking forward to the wind down and lack of routine for a little while. This week has been another busy week of swim lessons, hurling, football, youth clubs.. etc.. etc..etc.. Whoever it was who said we become a taxi service for our kids was so so so right!! lol. I still can't believe my 'babies' will be going into 2nd and 4th class in August .... they are growing SO fast.

Today I want to share a card I made for the latest challenge at A Creative Romance. The theme is 'Don't Be Square' - make a shaped card. 

I coloured Tilda with distress inks and distress markers. The papers I've chosen are from My Mind's Eye and I've layered up some cheesecloth and lace on top of them. I used a little bit of matching Prima Washi Tape. The metal sentiment stick reads "Capture Life's Moments' and I have threaded some baker's twine through the ends and wrapped it around the back. To finish I added some pearls and a punched butterfly. 

Our prize for this challenge is a voucher kindly offered by Nikki at Bunnyzoe's
