HEART BOKEH

Hello

Today I've tried out a bokeh background, for the Less is More challenge.
I've done this before with circles, but this was my first time using hearts..
isn't it pretty?


Firstly, I inked up a card panel with distress oxide, fading it towards the centre.
Then, I die cut a little heart into a piece of scrap card.
Using this as my stencil, I sponged the heart randomly, with pink shades and white ink.



To finish I inked up a sentiment and popped it up on foam tape.




small heart die
distress ink - worn lipstick, pickled raspberry
white ink
mama elephant - labeled messages

RAINBOW WISHES

Hello.

Sending some rainbow, get well wishes,
for anyone that needs them right now.


You can't really tell from this photo, 
but those fish tail flags are popped up on foam tape,
so IRL the card has more dimension.

Challenge



supplies
mft - stitched rectangle scallop edge die, fish tail flags
distress ink - tumbled glass, twisted citron, mustard seed, spiced marmalade, pickled raspberry
leaf die from the works
sentiment - clearly besotted, time to relax

CELEBRATE WITH CAKE

Hello

I have a box of, oh so pretty, lace and ribbon - 
and every so often, I get it out just to look through it,
but it rarely gets used on my cards anymore.

Maybe some clever crafter can make it fashionable again.

Here, I've used the smallest, snippet on a die-cut tag

WITH SPRINKLES ON

Hello

It was our eldest, daughter's birthday yesterday.
And it was so strange not being able to visit her, to have a party, or even hug her.
She is a cardiac physiologist at Leeds Hospital
and is working hard to take care of her patients and stay safe.

STAY HOME :  PROTECT THE NHS : SAVE LIVES


I stamped and die-cut the ice-creams and lollies, and popped them up on a card panel.
For the background, I went a little crazy, and stamped the sprinkles everywhere!
You can never have too many sprinkles, right?
