Peaceful Petals Card

Time to crank out those old friends, the blender pens! On this card I got colouring on our beautiful watercolour paper with a bit of Pool Party, Island Indigo, Crushed Curry, some subtle frost white shimmer paint and a dot of crystal effects. The stems are Sahara Sand and Pistachio Pudding.

And how can you not fall in love with these Peaceful Petals stamps? (See the new Occasions Catalogue here.) Really nice to have a floral set in my collection again.

{Teehee, I still feel naughty when I mix vanilla and white. But I like it.}

Just Add Ink #201

This week at Just Add Ink, it's a colour challenge! 

Someone posted an 'It's Love Month' banner on Facebook this week. I had a witty comment I never replied but it did get me thinking about everything happening in our family this month. The first big event was our little boy - ok I guess he's not too little anymore - started school this week. February also brings a new house and new baby but in amongst all the busy busy times will be Valentines Day and our 7th wedding anniversary... hence the fun and loving mood of this card for my numero uno. (Shhh, but I doubt my husband reads my blog.) The sentiment summarises it all for us right now!

The scallop circle is from the Stampin' Up! Circle Card thinlits and nests nicely in the 2 1/2" circle punch. The white stripes are from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and are embossed in white onto vellum.

Teachers who Love

Today was a very special day in our family. Our eldest finished kindy - forever! They held a lovely mat-time graduation ceremony for him (cue mother and grandmother in tears), during which we presented the teachers with this gift. We are so thankful for these great ladies that have had such a big part to play in Felix's early learning.

This is a quote I found online (hello Pinterest) and gave my own flavour by downloading free fonts and using variations of the primary colours: Crushed Curry, Real Red and Bermuda Bay. It was comprised in My Digital Studio (Stampin' Up! digital software), printed on A4 and framed with one of the standard frames and mats from Factory Frames. Next time I will match my whites a bit better!!

Here's to a new era!
