Happiness

Hi everyone,

 

It’s Anzac Day today and a day were Australians and New Zealander’s remember all our fallen soldiers.  It is the anniversary of the first major military action which was fought by Australian and New Zealand forces in the First World War.

 

ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and if want to know more about the ANZAC’s and the history of Australia Day you can visit the Australian War Memorial if you click here.

 

My card below has just one word on it.… happiness.

 

The sketch for this card is from Sketch Frenzy Friday and the colours from ColorLab’s current colour challenge:

 

 

 

 

 

I have used Pink Pirouette for the base of the card and the petal image from the Printed Petals stamp set.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Printed Petals, Priceless, Warm Words (retired)

Card: Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Ink: Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Pink Pirouette

Accessories:  Elegant Lines Embossing Folder, Distressing Tool from Cutter Kit, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

A simple card with soft colours.

 

 

On today, I am happy and thankful for every soldier and what they have done and continue to do for this country.

 

This is a day of remembrance of all the good and bad times, ones that make us cry and ones that make us laugh with happiness.

 

 

Take care and keep safe, please visit again soon…… Meg x

Card Patterns Sketch

I have completed another card sketch, this one can be found at Card Patterns site and the challenge is Sketch 103.

 

The sketch is:

 

 

 

I have created a card using the Sunny Garden DSP which contains some great fun colours such as Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait.

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Every Moment, Vintage Labels, Printed Petals

Card: Poppy Parade, Whisper White
Ink: Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  1/2” (1.3 cm) Stitched Pear Pizzazz Poly Ribbon, 1-3/8” (3.5 cm) Circle Large Punch, 1” (2.5 cm) Circle Medium Punch, 1-3/4” (4.4 cm) Scallop Circle Extra-Large Punch, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I punched the circles out of the DSP and then placed some Whisper White card stock behind the DSP.  I then stamped through the holes.

 

This was a quick card to make and I added the ribbon as an added touch.

 

I love these challenges, so I am off to do the next one :)

 

Until next time…. keep creating… Meg x
