Pastels

Challenge time again over at MAWTT, and today Hazel has chosen

Pastels

as the theme.  Now for some strange reason I keep thinking of fruit pastels, but I've a feeling that may not be the path she wants us to follow!!!

Instead I'm thinking pale colours, so it's an ivory lily I share with you today set on lovely Bo Bunny - Primrose Collection papers.  Nothing too fancy about todays card - but that's kinda how I like them!  Oh, and did I mention my new stitched dies from the fab Simon Says Stamp - Got them at Christmas (Thanks Mam & Dad x) - love them already and this is their first use!

Sorry about photo - Winter light is****e!

Lillies

This is my first time using this stamp.  I won it at the beginning of the year from a German company called Heindesign, now not being a German speaker, I don't know if this is the stamp name, but it also has Judi Kins written on it - mind you that sounds more like an artists name doesn't it?

So, the stamp is coloured with Promarkers then set on a selection of Craft Creation papers.  Finally, I distress inked the image to soften the white - not sure if I've now gone too pink though!

This is it's first inking & I've made a simple layered card with few colours and embossed & glazed detail. Finally the card is finished off with buttons & a bow.
