Parisien Stroll...

Hello there!

Hope you are keeping your heads above the water level.

West Sussex is awash with lakes where fields used to be and my journey to work is very varied depending on flooded roads.

I'm keeping my spirits up by making some Spring and Wedding cards.

 This beautiful stamp is one of the new releases from Wild Rose Studio and is called Parisien Stroll.

I coloured the image with Blending Chalks and promarkers

 The papers are from a co-ordinating pack called

 Letters from Paris.

Lots of beautiful Vintage papers, Travel stamps, French script, Romantic roses and a few Eiffel Towers!

Some Challenges...

Creative Card Crew have a great recipe challenge this week...

1 Ribbon

              2 Designer papers

3 Pearls

Passion for Promarkers theme is Anything Goes

Allsorts...Vintage

Thanks for popping by my little blog!

Hope you like my work and will leave me a comment and come back again soon!

Love from Sally

Spring Wish...

Hello!

I was very excited to see that my Watching the fireworks card made the Top 3 at Pile it on Challenge Blog.

Thanks to them for picking my card!

I've had the crafting bug this week playing with lots of New Spring Stamps and papers from 

Wild Rose Studio...Lots of Vintage and Modern cards made.

However, before I can show you those,

 I've got some cards using the Spring and Easter images from last year. 

Thankfully there was a drop of sun on my afternoon off so I could photograph them!

I wish I could take credit for the colouring but this is a coloured panel from a pack.

So handy for some quick makes!

Gingham blue paper...so fresh and Spring like!

I used lots of punches...
Daisy punch and some new Yellow spotty buttons!
Leaf Punch and Butterfly punch.

Some challenges...

Winter Wonderland...(Still accepting non christmas cards) Theme of Butterflies.

My Creative Moments...Wordplay Challenge..Yellow

Aud Sentiments...pick a sentiment.

Hope you are finding some Spring Inspiration from somewhere...
Valentines cards are on the way too!
Thanks for stopping by!

French Firework Display...

Hi there!

I'm back here again to continue sharing my new cards of 2014 using the beautiful new range of wedding stamps from Wild Rose Studio.

This fantastic Paris firework scene was really a challenge as I wanted to bring a dusky evening feel to it and have the glow from the lights.

I used chalks to create the dark midnight blue sky...and then my Promarkers.

layered the image on Navy card and used the Olive Green French script paper from the matching 

Wild Rose Studio paper pack

Letters from Paris!

Couldn't resist glitter and lots of mini stars and confetti to show the sparkly firework explosion!

Red hearts, organza Red ribbon bow and Red Rose Bouquet bring in the colour of love and passion!

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

ABC Challenge...D is for Dazzle...

4 Crafty chicks... Wedding

Pile it on...Celebrations

Digi stamps for joy...Glitter and Sparkle

I hope that you like my new card!

Thanks for coming to visit my blog!

See you back here again soon!

Love from

The background paper has destination post marks on and is from the pack
