Poppystamps, Love Lives On

I'm mixing vibrant colour with muted shades and no colour at all 
over on the Poppystamps blog today.





I've even thrown in some hand stitching!






Full details on how this was made can be found here.

Wishing you a peaceful, restful weekend...  unless you like things busy, of course!


Thanks heaps for stopping by today!

Craft Consortium, Tropical Paradise, Happy Birthday Library Pocket Tag

The Tropical Paradise Essential Paper Pad (sold by Craft Consortium) is full of beautifully vibrant images, which means that even just using a little can go a long way.

I haven't used just a little here though!  



 


I've paired three of the background papers with two images from the topper sheet and used black as a contrasting element to help break it all up a bit...   as well as adding just a touch of brown Distress ink and gold glitter card.








This bird is just so pretty, so I had to give it centre stage!

Tag You're It, Spring Flowers

A new challenge starts today over on Tag You're It.

The theme?
Spring Flowers.


Here's my take on it...






I couldn't resist using this Xcut small dies 'Flower Jar' set.
It's the only Xcut one I own...  I just love the cute little set of flowers it has and they are often so hard to come by.  So I had to buy it really!

Paired with a Memory Box/Open Studio bird from the Finnegan Fronds set and a Quickutz die.
(Both now retired).





Want to join us?





I hope so!

You can always keep your tag blank just like I did.  That way it'll be just perfect for Birthdays, Thank You, Mother's Day, Thinking Of You...  the list goes on!
