Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. We love chatting, crafting and getting together in person.
I'm sure we will see lots of wonderful projects shared by the team this week featuring Crumb Cake. It is a neutral which has been in the range for the whole time I've been a demonstrator, more than 12 years.
One of my favourite stamps from the annual catalogue is Gorgeously Made. It is tempting to keep on using it with the colours used in the catalogue spread because they are so pretty, but I decided to experiment and use Crumb Cake.
Once I was satisfied with the background I used 3 of the stamps to create even more interest.
It seemed a good idea to continue on to use some of the dies from the Gorgeously Made bundle, so some leaves were added to the piece of torn notepaper.
I have been playing with Stampin' Blends after doing a colouring master class with Jay Soriano and afterwards had this image from Coffee With Friends which seemed to be a good fit for this card. A new sentiment-only stamp set from the mini catalogue - So Sincere - provided this lovely thought to finish the card off.
I hope I have provided some inspiration for your creativity too, leave a comment if you have the time. Come back next Wednesday night for some Crushed Curry.
Next participant in the blog hop is the lovely Rachel Woollard who will surely have a wonderful card or project to share.

Rachel, your hand stencilled and stamped background layer is fantastic, as is your colouring of the focal image - love this card, it makes me feel so relaxed and happy!
ReplyDeleteFantastic background for your card Rachel, it really sets off the beautiful colouring of your focal image of the two ladies
ReplyDeleteWell, how clever are you, creating that custom note-paper background?! It looks fabulous, Rachel. Love the added foliage, and the sentiment (that's a great set, isn't it?). Nicely coloured focal image, too!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card, Rachel. I adore that background and how you achieved it. That sentiment is perfect and your colouring of the image is amazing. I think I need to do Jay's class too!
ReplyDeleteThe custom background looks fabulous Rachel and compliments your beautifully coloured feature panel.
