Some Odd Girl, The Alley Way Stamps & There She Goes Tag

I have two projects to share today, but this one is first... pop back later to check out the other :)

I've had a pack of these big shipping tags in my stash for an absolute age... I usually use them for scrapbooking and journaling, but when I saw the Some Odd Girl Ning group challenge was tags, I dug one out... I stamped directly onto the tag, using a stamp set from There She Goes, it is from the set called Dance, I stamped the flowers/leaves and then coloured them in using my Spectrum Noirs. I then stamped my SOG Sweet Thinkin' Mae and coloured her up to match the flowers and leaves. I then stamped a sentiment, from the Jibber Jabber stamp set from The Alley Way Stamps, and coloured up the little heart to match... 

Here is the close up...

How much fun is that chair/side table?? You can see why I was inspired? Awesome yeah?!

There She Goes - Dance and I create a Get Well Soon Card

You know those crafters out there, who everything they do looks exactly how you want your cards to look? I have a couple of card idols.... one of them is shabby, one is purely clean and simple, and one, who does what I like to call 'clean vintage'. If you participate in a lot of challenges, like I do, you've probably spied her around... Narelle Farrugia. Her style is absolutely breathtaking, all clean lines and vintagey.... (who even knew they went together???) Anyway, there is a point to my swoon.... I used inspiration from Narelle's cards to create....

I used a Basic Gray card base, layered with Crumbcake and a piece of patterned paper (this was an off cut, and I'm not sure which company it is from!) I then tied some bright yellow ribbon and stamped the flowers from There She Goes with StazOn on So Saffron and Daffodil Delight card and cut them out. The sentiment panel is cut with my Labels 4 Nestabilities and sponged in Basic Grey and stamped with the leaf image from Dance, the main sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! set Sincere Salutations. 

I am entering this into the CR84FN Colour challenge and the upcoming sketch from ICSketches

Thanks for popping by! Go check out Narelle's cards!

There She Goes, Dance like no-one is watching Card

Hi guys! I had to have another play in the craft room this evening, and came out with a card that makes me smile :)

This is quite a large card (for me anyway) it is 7.5 inches tall by 4.25 inches wide. I started out with a Very Vanilla card base, and layered 2 pieces of patterned paper on it (Kaisercraft and October Afternoon), and some more gorgeous ribbon! I used this one from the Ribbon Carousel and tied a big bow. The lovely sentiment is from There She Goes and is a beautiful saying. Something I think we all need to take a little time to do.... Next up, I stamped three gorgeous butterflies from PTI and coloured them using my Stampin' Write Markers. I then attached the blue ones just using double sided tape, but the yellow one has a dimensional stuck to his back to make him pop :)

I am entering this into the Play Date Cafe challenge, the colours appealed to me straight away. I took inspiration from February Muse Karola Witczak over at CASE Study (the elongated card, and the general layout, also the touch of stitching...) and of course over at Ribbon Carousel Challenge

Thanks again!
