Perfect Pairs

Hi All

We have an absolutely fab challenge for you this week at Simply Stampin' Challenge - it is 

'Perfect Pairs'

which means you have to use two of something on your creations this week

I took inspiration from the pairs/memory game I used to play as a kiddie - you know, the one where you have two if each card and you have to pick up the same two in succession ?

Here's my card:

Recipe:

Stamps: Happiest Birthday Wishes, Baroque Motifs

Card: Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Whisper White

Ink: Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party

Other: Basic Rhinestones

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by

Easter

Hello and Happy Easter to all!

Surprise Surprise we have an Easter themed challenge for you this week over at Simply Stampin Challenge and here is my DT entry:

I went to make this card and realised I don't actually have any Easter stamps - disaster! So I figured I could probably make some easter egg looking things using an oval punch and reached for an old favourite - Flight of the Butterfly!

Recipe:

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card: Wisteria Wonder, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Daffodil Delight
DSP: From the Garden
Ribbon: Pretty in Pink, Daffodil Delight, Certainly Celery
Brad: Pretty in Pink
Punches: Word Window, Oval, Eyelet Border

Hope you like my makeshift Easter card and thanks for stopping by
