Here's my pretty  - 'lovely' - card that I created using my fave PWP stamp set, Nouveau.......


Soooooo gorgeously girly! 
(& lots of inky, messy fun here too!)

Here's the Nouveau Stamp Set you'll want to get your hands on......


Love this Stamp Set! So divine & really versatile!!!

Want to know how I created this lil number? 


It's super easy!

Start by clear, heat-embossing the Nouveau stamp in the centre of the card. 
Spritz, paint and splatter a few different shades of purple watercolour & allow to dry.
Heat treat the clear embossed image until it literally 'melts away' and intensifies the purple colouring.
Stamp the border trim stamp in black ink - above and below the main image.
Ink the card edges and then embellish with purple cotton thread, blooms, metal leaves & sentiment.
Voila! Told you it was easy-peasy!
But it looks so lovely!

Thankyou so much for joining us today!

Please be sure to leave a comment &
 now it's time to send you over to Carmen's blog for more purple inspiration!

CMS Challenge #68




Hi Everyone! 
Thanks for stopping by for a peak at my take on
Challenge #68 over at Color Me Scrappy!
Here's what the challenge looks like......


I know - what a fabulous colour palette to create with!!!
& the extra challenge is an 'Ode to Summer'
I had so many wonderful ideas for this challenge but as always, more ideas than time!
I decided on creating a super cute mini from our most recent Summer photos.
Here's my cover.....

So cute! 
I created this mini entirely from the Kaisercraft Dream Big Collection. 
The album was super easy to create ( & actually only used one sheet of paper!)
The only extras are washi tape, blue tulle and the Kikki K fold back clip. 
Let's look inside........

Lots of Dream Big Collectables featured here! 


A lovely spot of journalling to remind us of these happy moments.

Back cover

And there you have it! A really cute mini made from only one sheet of paper!
Too easy and a fantastic keepsake!
Thanks for taking time out of your day to view my creations!

til next time,

Happy Arty Days,
