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....

Stampin' Up! Picture This and I create quick Thank You notecards!

Last night before bed, I wanted to create one more project... I had exactly what I wanted to do in my mind.... So, at the ridiculous hour of 1am, I went into the craft room and whipped these up....

A note of appreciation

Thanks for owl you do

These use the Picture This hostess set which is now retired, but which I received a little while ago as blog candy. This is the first time I've gotten them inky too. I have used colours from the brights collection, with Real Red, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight. I have used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour the sentiments in black, and then picking out the punny picture in the matching colour.... I have drawn a simple black border around the white card front to frame it. These cards are 4 inch square, and would make a wonderful little gift for someone special... I might just hold on to them for now, and see what happens... :-)

I am entering these in to the Less is More Lucky Dip challenge, which is for Thank You or Congratulations Cards. I will definitely be entering again, before the week is up, thoughts are already running about what I want to create :-) Head on over to the Less is More challenge blog, and check out some more Clean and Simple goodness! 

Happy Stamping!
