Two in One Day.... am I sick?

So 2 posts in one day, but there is a reason for that. I have made this card using a Challenge Sketch which finishes tomorrow, you can find it here, so needed to get it posted before then, otherwise I would have made you wait until tomorrow for it.

I wasn't sure at first that I liked this Pink Flamingo Patterned Paper, but I bought it anyway and absolutely love it.... it is truly gorgeous. I also have the Kaleidoscope Patterned Paper and not sure about that either, guess I just need to get it out of the package... watch this space.

So card is made using Pink Flamingo patterned Paper, Cameo Coral, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock. The sentiment is computer generated (had a request for New Year cards, but not just your run of the mill Happy New Year stuff, hope this is the kind sentiment that was wanted). The little image is from the Saleabration Set, Good Neighbours. And finished off with Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon and a few gems from my stash... Come on Stampin' Up!, give us a few gems in our mini catalogue when it comes out.

Have a great day xx

A Couple of Challenges

I am still busy making my card order and needed a bit of inspiration, so decided to look up some challenges. This card was made using a couple of challenge, a colour one and a sketch one. I used all Stampin' Up! Stash for this card, am trying to do this more often now... it is so lush!!

The colours I used were Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Bashful Blue, More Mustard, So Saffron and Whisper White as we dont have Deep Red and Baja Blue in the UK.

And the sketch I copied almost exactly except I added a bit of bling in the bottom right hand corner.

I used the new SAB set Happy Moments for the sentiment "Thank You", Circle Circus to edge the inner circle and flight of the Butterfly for the main image, and the Butterfly Punch to punch out the butterfly. I used the Level 1 Hostess Set Darling Dots for the flower on the Bashful Blue Cardstock. It is very unusual for me to use no Patterned Paper, but I did manage it....

The snow is nearly gone around here, but I am having big trouble with my car since the snow. The battery totally died, so had a new one fitted yesterday at a cost of more than £100 and this morning something has drained the battery and the new one is flat.... grrr thats all I need electrical problems with electrical diagnoses costing more than £50 an hour....

Dont forget my card workshop on Thursday, should be good as I am loving the Stamp Set Flight of the Butterfly at the moment, such pretty cards, hope my ladies like them.

Take care all, have a safe day...
