Stampin' Up! I {Heart} Hearts and Vintage Vogue create an engagement card

Hi guys! I told you I'm loving my new light globe, makes crafting at night easy, even photographing my cards at night is easier!

Pretty basic card this one, it is a 4.25" square in Whisper White which has been stamped with the hearts from I {Heart} Hearts in Basic Black and Real Red. I have also punched two hearts from the 2-step Owl punch and the Mini heart punch in Basic Black and stuck them down. I have stamped the sentiment from Vintage Vogue, {Life happens, Love helps} I then drew a small border around the card to finish it off.
I am entering this into three challenges, the first is The Play Date Cafe Black and White with a splash of Red challenge, I am also entering this into the CAS-ual Fridays Colour challenge, which is to be inspired by a book, I have been inspired by a book I recently finished, The Memory Keepers Daughter, By Kim Edwards , which I think shows that even though life does go on, love is an important part of life... The final challenge I am entering this into is the Moxie Fab World Square Sketch challenge.

Ok, that's all for me, but pop over to each of those challenges and have a go, they are all a lot of fun!

Until next time...

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Picture This and I create a fun Engagement Card

Hi there! I have stamped today, quite a number of things, things I'm not happy with... so I'm not sharing any of those things... instead, I have a really cute and fun Engagement card/Congratulations card for a very in love couple I know...

For this card, I started out with a small card base of 4.25" square of Basic Black, which I have layered a piece of Certainly Celery on and then a piece of Whisper White. On the white, I have stamped the sentiment from Picture This (retired) in Versamark and heat embossed it in Black Embossing Powder. Once it was set, I coloured in the pear in So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Certainly Celery, using my Stampin' Write Markers and a Blender Pen. I drew a border in Basic Black and then added some Glossy Accents to the pear to make it a little shiny... Which I think is visible in this photo...

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the Less is More Fruit Challenge, and secondly over at Wee Memories CAS challenge. 

I hope to head back into the craft room tonight before bed....

So, until next time....
