I just want to thank everyone who helped us to exceed 100 players this week - you are absolute stars! Thank you :)
You've got my choice of colours this week, inspired by strong-coloured summer flowers that really make a statement.
I love lupins, but they just disappear in my garden; I think the slugs come from far and wide to gobble them up! I wish I could grow them though; I think it's so fun how raindrops gather in the centre of the leaves, and form mirrors or drinking water for the fairies.
You've got two cards from me this week. That's because I needed a card for today, and wanted to keep one, and when you're making spray cards like this you might as well do more than one at once.
Both cards are 5" square, with the front edge torn to reveal a sprayed edge inside the card. I stamped the image with Versamark fine (black) then sprayed ink over the top once it was dry.
Artistic Outpost are generously sponsoring our challenge this week and there's loads of inspiration over at the play date cafe. I used the Serenity set, but I have to say, it was really hard to choose which stamps I wanted. There are now lots of 'wants' on my list lol.
You never make it easy for me, do you dear friend ; ) I know, blue and white was a piece of cake for you, wasn't it? And you had no choice, after all, they were YOUR colors! haha
ReplyDeleteGreat job on what you put together and we all loved working with our stamps together : ) xx
Lovely cards, love purple so will make an extra special effort this week!
ReplyDeleteGreat sample, Sarah - I love lilac and green. Must have a go at this one!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colours, they are so pretty with a fairy-like quality to them-- love them
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and the sentiment is GREAT! I like how you have used these colors together :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of the Serenity plate with this weeks colors! The sprayed inside is a great touch!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Sarah! all of your work is just stunning! You're the kind of crafter I would love to become, but I find myself not even having time to play with it at all! should take a vacation from my normal stuff and just let my imagination go. With the help of YOUR inspirations, though! Thanks for such amazing work! (I may look into that book! Sounds SUPER!) xxD
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love both of these cards and the mists are beautiful! Loved the colors this week!
ReplyDeleteMore stunning work, Sarah. I just adore your style. Both cards are beautiful but if I had to choose it's be the second one, not sure why, it just caught my eye with it's soft colours.
ReplyDeleteLupins are beautiful aren't they but I can't grow them either, I think you're right about your slug theory!!
Hugs Lisax
Love the 2 cards done in this weeks colors! They look like day and nite!
ReplyDeleteSarah thank you so much for the challenge....I am a lupin lover and can never get them to grow for me..

ReplyDeleteOH WOW! These cards are FABULOUS! I love the torn paper and the spray effect--beautiful! This is def. a card that is a keeper--I love love love it! Great details all around:) LOVE IT! Love you:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sarah! Love that artsy background!
ReplyDeleteOh these are lovely Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of lupins.
And so far they are slug free...
But when I lived in Sale, I had no lupins. And LOTS of slugs. Timperley seems to be a slugless paradise!!!
Strange....
how are you?
Beautiful cards, Sarah! Love the depth of colour in the sprayed backgrounds - just gorgeous! Here in Maine we have lupines growing wild along the roadways and masses of them in a field across from where I work, but no matter how many times I try growing them in my garden, they never come back after a winter - they are beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your cards Sarah! So pretty and fresh! I really should get more than one card done at once, it makes SO much sense, but do I? Na!!! xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Card, I love what you did with that spray! TFS, ~Diane
ReplyDeletethanks so much for using our stamps, and your work is just beautiful.
