The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #40

Wow, 40 blog hop challenges and what fun we have been having.
Welcome from Tamsin's blog, this week we had this sketch to work from.

It instantly reminded me of a window so that is what I went with.

Then I thought "What would it look like with curtains?" so I added these.

I'm not sure if I like it better with or without, What do you think?

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #29

Welcome from Anna's blog.
Colour combo challenge #15 this week.

My inspiration for this weeks card came from my desk calendar, I really love these colours together. I used Crystal Effects on the middle heart and Wink of Stella on the other two hearts, however, I find Wink of Stella really hard to photograph as it never really shows up in the photo. You can kind of see it if you zoom right in.

We have Sketch Challenge #12 this week.

CASE'd from Rochelle Blok

My card is a loose interpretation of the original sketch but I really loved making this card using the masking technique. I love the surprise you get when you peal away the pieces of paper and reveal crisp clean edges.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge #17

Welcome from Annette's blog.
Colour challenge time again.

This would have to be one of my favourite colour combos at the moment and because of that I have three cards this week.

Case'd from Debbie Lever

This cards was so quick to make that I decided that I needed to do another one to give myself a bit of a challenge.

Case'd from Stef Perry

I am thinking that I am going to make a set of these cards using some of the other Hello You Thinlits Dies. To give to my Grandma for her birthday in April. The most time consuming part is fussy cutting the flower layers, but I love the depth that it gives to the card.
