Craft Barn weekly challenge & Time Out

  I'd like to enter this journal page in 2 challenges: 
The Craft Barn weekly challenge: "Words" 
Time Out Challenge: see photo below

I've made this page a few weeks back and think this could fit both challenges. The quote is from a song by a band called Canterbury (unfortunately they split up last year). The song is called "Garden Grows" (if you like check it out here).
For this page I've used nearly every flower stamp that I have and also most of my VersaFine and VersaColor ink pads.
I randomly stamped the flowers onto the page in different colours to create a background and than added the lyrics with matching colour stickers. 

Thanks for looking :)

Less Is More - Splatters & Time Out

The new challenge over at Less is More (Week 219) is "Splatters".
Great theme. I used a white square card base and added 3 different Distress Inks through  my "Splatter" stencil. Spritzed it with a bit of water and stamped the sentiment with black VersaFine. Nice and Easy :)

I would also like to enter this into the "Rainbow" challenge at Time Out
Thanks for looking :)

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Let's Get Vintage

This weeks challenge on Merry Monday Christmas is "Let's Get Vintage".


For this card I've printed out the vintage image twice, layered one on red cardstock and cut out the sentiment on the second image and adhered it to the first image to get a little bit of 3D effect. I added red patterned paper and ribbon to a gold square cardbase and added the focal image. 
My Christmas cards collection for this year is slowly growing, which is great. I really enjoy it :)

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Angels/Cherubs

This weeks challenge on Merry Monday Christmas is "Angels/Cherubs".


For this card I've cut out 2 rectangular panels and embossed them with a Polka Dot folder. Then I glued both panels on a red card base. I stamped the angel with black VersaFine and used clear embossing powder. After that I used a red glitter pen to highlight some areas and added red adhesive stones.  I did the same with the sentiment piece. Finally I layered them with some red cardstock and glued the toppers on the card base.

Less Is More - Predominantly Black

The new challenge over at Less is More (Week 218) is "Predominantly Black".
I cut out 3 different size circles in Black and White and layered them on top of each other. I stamped the quote on the top white one. Then I adhered white and red ribbon to a piece of black card and glued it to a white cardbase. Finally I added the circles and a glittery red heart.

The Craft Barn: Calendar Challenge

New Craft Barn prompts for April. They are BLUE and UMBRELLAS.
I've started with the background and added different blue Distress Inks on it. Then I used a brush and spritzed water all over it to create raindrop stains. After that I added the stitch border. 

For the tag I used Distress Inks again, added the border and stamped the circles. The main image is from Tim Holtz stamped with VersaFine and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used the same DIs as for the tag and added the red ribbon. Then adhered everything to the background. Sorry for the slightly wonky scan, it's a bit too early in the morning :)

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Lime, Turquoise & White

This weeks challenge on Merry Monday Christmas is "Lime, Turquoise & White".


For this card I've cut out a 6 squares in 2 different sizes with my Cuttlebug. I've added Distress Inks to each square and added white glitter snowflakes to each square. After that I scored 3 lines on a white card-base and added the same Distress Inks. I arranged and glued the squares on the card and stamped the sentiment with Distress Ink and coloured it with a Gelly Roll pen.
