Love Always

Yes it's Valentine's Day this week so there are lots of Love challenges around in blogland and my card is for the CD Sunday Love Always challenge and the Kaboodle Doodles For My Sweatheart. My image is from The Rachelle Anne Miller Collection and I like that it's not the usual red and white. The image printed larger than I intended so I've kept the rest of the card quite simple with an embossed background, some die cut leaves and a punched flower. You can probably tell by the range of greens that the leaves were cut from snippets so I'm taking it to Pixie's Snippets Playground - hopefully the playmates haven't been washed away

Fairy Dust

This is another card for the Faux Cloisonne challenge at Technique Time Tuesday. I started with this front cover of the Vegetarian magazine

The stamp I've used is from Lindsay Mason's Fairy Scene set. I've stamped with Versamark an used Ebony WOW powder. The background is made using white, yellow, brown and black Pan Pastel and then I've stamped the sentiment (from the same set) with Versamark and embossed again. I wanted to use the "sprinkles" from the set but they looked odd so I've added a ribbon and bow and this is the result

I'm also entering this into the Kaboodle Doodles challenge which is Earth Tones/Colours
