Layered Flowers!

I have been missing for a while as I have been in hospital an operation ( not great timing with COVID as it meant no visitors ), hopefully its sorted now.  The hospital staff were amazing and still so upbeat considering their current workload.  The convalescing means that I have to isolate and stay on really light duties for about 4 weeks.  I am hoping card making counts as light duties otherwise I am going to get very bored.

I had started to make this card a while back and it was perfect to get my mojo back in gear. 

The background is the Simon Says stencil Spring Boho circle, I then added the Hi using Altenew's letter dies and some scrap patterned paper.  I then stamped and embossed elements from the Simon Says Spring Flowers set and fussy cut then coloured with Zigs.  I layered up and fixed to the card also adding lots of sparkly gems.

 I shall add this card to the Simon Says Flickr challenge "Use a Stencil" and the SSS Wednesday Challenge  "Lots of Layers"

Have a great week

Hello!

I am slowly getting my mojo back and made this card today for a couple of challenges.  I used the Simon Says Flora Background and stamped in Bundled Sage distress ink onto some water colour paper.  I then water coloured with a selection of Distress inks and some Zig Brush marker. Highlighting the flowers with a white Posca pen.

Before adhering to the card I added a strip of Vellum and then the die cut sentiment and some pearls.

I shall add this card to both the Simon says Flickr challenge and the Simon Says Wednesday challenge " Anything Goes".

Hope you all have a good week and Stay Safe!

Pink Gerbera !

The Simon Says Wednesday challenge this week is "Think Pink"  for my card this week I chose to use the lovely Gerbera Daisy Background stamp from Simon Says.  I white heat embossed it onto some water colour card and coloured with Zig brush markers.  I then cut a white panel using the SSS Wavy Scallop Stitches die and added it to the coloured panel.  Then adding some sequins and a Die cut Hello from Hero Arts.  I used a grape coloured card base to high light the pretty flowers.

I am also adding this to the SSS Flickr group challenge "Emboss it like a boss".

We have another wet and windy weekend ahead so I will probably have lots of time to craft,  Autumn has arrived in earnest and I am missing the sun!!

Have a great weekend
