Simply Stampin’ Challenge Week 43 - Sketch

This week’s challenge is to follow a sketch:


Here is the card I made  for it.

I used the lovely Spice Cake papers from the new mini punched with the Postage Stamp punch. The sentiment is from Tiny Tags and added onto the heart stamp from the Perfect Postage stamp set and punched out. The colours are Pool Party and More Mustard layered onto Concord Crush card stock. This is not a combination I would have thought of using but the card was on my desk and I just used it to decide on the layout and quite liked the end result. So a happy accident!
Some of my fellow Passionettes are having a mini blog hop today to showcase the Sale-a- Bration which starts tomorrow. For every £45 spent you earn a gorgeous free item and there are four beautiful stamp sets and a pack of designer paper to choose from. Why not hop over to Monica’s blog and start hopping around. And remember I can take orders from anywhere in the UK.

Valentine Petal Cone

I made this pretty petal cone ready for Valentine's Day which is not too far away now! I used melon mambo card stock for the cone with black. The two hearts are from the new Perfect Postage stamp set  and punched out with the Postage stamp punch. They were stamped with Melon Mambo to match. I used one of the strips from the Petal Cone die to make the handle and used a hook and loop spot for the hidden closure at one side. I intend to fill it with chocolate hearts nearer the day. I'm going to have a go at making some more of these for Easter using the little rabbit from the same stamp set and filling them with mini eggs.
