LCC #79 Colour Me Happy

The theme for this fortnights challenge over at Let's Craft and Create is Colour Me Happy. I started by choosing a happy background paper, I love these colours together, yellow and orange always seem to be happy, to me anyway. Then I used a tag as my focal point so it wouldn't fight with the patterned paper, just to add a bit more happy I added a couple of butterflies.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

Ingredients:

BG Paper: My Girl from American Crafts.

Stamps: Many Birthday Messages from Hero Arts and Butterfly Wishes from Clearly Bessotted.

Dies: Butterfly Wishes from Clearly Bessotted and Tags Traditional from Ellison Design.

Embellishments: Wink of Stella pen by Zig (on the butterflies), bakers twine from Docrafts and flat backed gems from Hobby Craft.

LCC #78 – Black and White

Over at Let's Create and Craft this fortnights challenge is Black and White which was the perfect excuse to ink up the lovely Fancy Feathers stamp set and dies from Clearly Besotted. I just couldn't resist adding a little red heart, I know it isn't strictly black and white now but I hope I am forgiven as the card just needed a little something.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

Ingredients:

Stamps: Woodgrain and Gorgeous Grunge from Stampin' Up!, Fancy Feathers and Thinking of You from Clearly Bessotted.

2 for 1

I decided to have a play over at  CAS(E) his sketch #43 (I flipped the sketch, I hope that's OK?) and while blog hopping I realised my card fits the CAS-ual Friday CFC113 challenge too, double whamie.
