The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #68

Welcome from Nicole's blog.
This week we have a Colour Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

Once again I have used items from the new Occasions Catalogue. There are just so many lovely items in there that I had to try and be very self controlled, I am not sure that I tried hard enough though. The Balloon Celebration Stamp Set and the Balloon Bouquet Punch can be purchased as a bundle where you save 15% so is a very good deal. I have been waiting for Stampin' Up! to have a balloon punch for long time and think that the one they came up with is pretty good as it has two different balloon sizes in one punch and is very versatile. I can assure you that it will be used often.

- Balloon Celebration - 140675 (OC Jan-May16)

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #67

Welcome from Leah's blog.
This week we have a Sketch Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:


This is what I came up with:



I wanted the little Honeycomb Embellishments as soon as I saw them in the occasions catalogue, as they are so sweet and I realised how perfectly they fit in the centre of the small Metallic Foil Doilies. Then when we had this sketch I knew that it was the perfect opportunity to use them. I also love how the Glitter ribbon adds a little more bling. I think this makes a very girlie girl card and am looking forward to using it.
