Cupcake Inspiration Challenge: Pearls in my hair...

Hey,

Happy February!

Super late post for me today. I have been busy running errands, at the gym and making homemade pizzas with Hubby!!

I made my card for Cupcake Inspirations current challenge last night and I really didn't want to miss the deadline.

They are being sponsored by A Day For Daisies, I love their digital stamps and I have quite a few of them.

I thought the colours would work really well in watercolour with Pearls in my Hair.

I love the watercoloured stamp, it's so pretty - sadly my birdies don't look as cream as they do IRL.

I layered black and cream patterned papers as a base for the watercoloured panel, I am trying to use as much of my patterned papers in 2018 as I can, so it was great to be able to use the cream patterned paper that I have had for a long time.

I was a bit stuck for the sentiment, but recently I won a huge batch of Unity Stamp Co sentiment stamps and I found the one you see on my card in the bag.

It works perfectly and I'm thrilled with the end result.

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge: Newton stays in...

Hey,

I stumbled across a cool challenge 2 days ago.

It's called Cupcake Inspiration and every week they post a different photo of cupcakes to inspire you. You don't have to use cupcakes to play.

This week's photo make me smile. I am a cat person..

This time they are also sponsored by Newton's Nook and I thought it would be a great excuse to break out my Cozy Day In stamp set.

I used the pink frosting to inspire my colouring..

I die-cut the image using an MFT stitched oval die and dug through my extensive paper stash for the right background paper and came across this ancient piece of floral paper.

I LOVE paper, but I have so much of it. JT and I declared paper amnesty about 3.5 years ago..we do not buy paper anymore, unless it is plain or neutral colours. No more patterned paper and it makes us sad, but it had to happen, I truly believe I have more paper than I can use in my lifetime..

Anyway I digress.. I stamped one of the sentiments from the set, onto a coordinating piece of pink cardstock and decided to make it a banner and affix it to my card with a staple.

A bit of a girly card for me, but I like it, I also quite fancy a cozy day in with my cats, a book and a blanket..
