Masked Heart filled with Wildflowers

Hi! Here are a couple of Valentines cards I made today. I made a heart stencil, coloured with ink dusters, and then stamped the wildflowers. I added a little bit of colour to the images with Promarkers. I added some gems for a bit of sparkle, and then some punched butterflies for some dimension.

New Stamps!

Hi! I got a few new stamps at the NEC Hobbycrafts fair in November, but haven't had chance to use them yet, as they weren't Christmassy. There are a couple of 'new' challenges at the moment, so I thought I'd break out one of the NEC purchases :)

I've made the same card twice, with different colours:

Combining Colour Challenges...

Hi! I'm always a bit worried about how strict colour challenges are, as I often struggle to match the colours exactly. This time, my almost nearly matching colours seem to work for more than one colour challenge! Anyway, here's my card, using my new Kaisercraft stamp:

MFT Colour Challenge

Hi! MFT Card Challenges has a gorgeous colour challenge at the moment:

I stamped the image on watercolour paper and then used Stampendous Shabby White embossing enamel. I used Brushos to add the colours and let them mix and blend. I added gems to the centres of the flowers. Here's how it turned out:
