Hello Hello Hello

And Hello once more :)

 

All the greetings are because I used the ‘hello, hello, hello’ sentiment stamp from the Happy Greetings stamp set in the Summer Mini Catalogue. 

 

The card base is Basic Gray which has been dry embossed using the Big Shot and the Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  This is a great folder and just adds that little bit to the background.

 

The colours are from the colour challenge at The Play Date Cafe – Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black and Whisper White as the neutral.

 

The layout is from the sketch at Create with Connie & Mary which you can see here.  I have flipped the sketch around and used the wonderful Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die to create the butterflies.  This Die is one of my favourites at the moment (of course don’t forget the ‘bling’) as I love how the butterflies are embossed and cut at the same time when the folder goes through the Big Shot. 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Happy Greetings

Card: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

There is normally some bling on my cards – so you will not be surprised to see it on the little butterfly.

I am sure that you can relate to losing track of time when you start browsing the internet. I know that I do.

Charismacardz Challenge # 3 is Pretty in Pink, to create something in Pink, yep think that is possible.

 

Mojo Monday is  sketch challenge…. love these sketches they always give you a challenge.

 

is a Photo Inspiration….

 

I show this photo and found some more pink and flowers and thought Valentine.  I missed adding this to The Pink Elephant Challenge list, to me the photos show a lot of love and warmth.

The Real Red marker has been used to get the darker shading on the larger hearts.

The quote is from the Marry Me stamp set in the Summer Mini and reads

 

….. Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. – Jean Anouilh…..

 

If you liked the retired stamp set For the Bride, you will like the Marry Me stamp set, especially if you need to create some wedding invitations or a wedding cards.  You could use this set in so many ways.

 

Well I am off to prepare things for tomorrow as my little girl is going back to school.

 

Thanks for stopping by and having a peek, keep well until next time….. Meg
