March Challenge - Jay Gee's Nook!

Hi Girls! Have to say that the start to my weekend has been great, managed to catch up on a little house work and loads of washing..also got to sneak into the craft room and create 5 cards yesterday, hoping for more today.

One of the cards that I created was for the March Challenge that starts today overs at Jay Gee's Nook, would love to see you all join in the fun for this month, I love seeing what everyone creates from the inspiration board.

This months inspiration board is another beautiful one..I really love the colours in this beautiful photo.


Here is the card that I created.

100_5659


Taking some Daffodil Layering paper and the Classic Fabric Background stamp that was inked with Soft yellow, I stamped onto the layering paper and trimmed around the design. Next, taking my sewing machine and adding a stitching line around the stamped background. Staying with the same background stamp, I took some Aqua Mist card stock and stamped over the card stock using Frost White ink (sorry the photo does not show this very well) I trimmed the card stock down to form a strip, adhering to the layering paper. Taking the teapot die that coordinates with the the PTI, Tea for Two stamp set, and more Aqua Mist card stock, a cut a teapot out of the card stock and using the corresponding stamp I stamped over the teapot with Aqua Mist ink, adhering the teapot to a circle of white card stock. I added some Hero Arts white lace to the top of the Aqua Mist strip and then adhered the circle using foam dimensionals. Lastly, stamping a sentiment from the Made With Love stamp set.

I hope that this card gives you lots of inspiration to create something for this months challenge.

Okay so I am heading straight over to see what Judith and Ange have been up to, and make sure to visit the shop whilst you are there too, I know that Judith has just added some yummy new Hero Arts products and Pure Innocence. I have already ordered some and they are on their way to me, I cannot wait to ink them up.

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! I will be back tomorrow to share another creation with you.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such wonderful comments, truly appreciated.

Hugs
