Vase full of flowers

I was bitten by the crafting bug this weekend and got six or seven cards made. I’m starting to get a nice pile of them now for when I have less time to make any.

On this card I have used various bits of background paper I have had for ages, a Lili of the Valley stamp I coloured in with Copics, lots of pearls, leaves made with a Martha Stewart puncher, ribbon from a local shop (I’m pleased how the bow turned out) and some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

This card has been entered into the following challenges:

Lili’s Little Fairies – Pearls
Sketchy Colors – Green, Lilac and white
Allsorts – Things with wings
No matter which challenge – Ribbons and bows

Thank you so much to Sketchy Colours for having my card as a winner of this challenge. I love my new stamps and paper!

Lilac birthday fairy

Yesterday I went shopping with the intention of getting just a couple of bits. You would think by now I would realise it does not quite work that way… Once again I bought much more than I need. There are so many gorgeous papers and a lot of them made their way home with me. I also got a ton of inspiration looking at some of the cards on display in the shop. It is a shame I have to work all evening, as I think I could easily sit and make cards all day today. It is so nice getting the exams finished for the summer! This post is for the first card I made after getting the craft stuff back out.

Bunny swing

I don’t remember what site I was browsing on Saturday, which is a shame, because it was quite inspiring. In fact, I went straight to my crafty corner, thinking ‘hey, I want to make something with that theme’. I don’t know what to call the theme.. Clean? Subtle? Not only did I make this card, but I also made three others that day, most following the theme for this card. Here is today’s card:
