Playdate Cafe pdcc163 & Unscripted Sketches

I think my Mojo has gone on holidays! I just brought out a few of my supplies to get back in to rhythm
of creating and I've spent most of the day making a mess and procrastinating! 
Anyway, this is the card I ended up making - I'm not over the moon, but I guess it's a start.

Edited: Moxie Fab World are going to have a week of challenges - YAY!!!!! Just what i need to get my mojo back into gear!

I am entering this card in the Playdate Cafe Challenge, Unscripted Sketches and the Moxie FabWorld challenge to use 10 or more embellishments!




This card began with the panel - I white embossed watercolour paper and then painted the paper with distress
inks and Twinkling H2O.  The strip of paper is coloured with an ink pad and I've used the same colour ink pad to
stamp the flowers, but embossed with pearl powder to get the softer colour. The border punch is from American Crafts,  the background stamp is Penny Black (I love it!!!) The flower stamp is from hero Arts and the pearls are from
Kaisercraft and coloured with copic marker.

  5. I love your gorgeous card:) Thankyou for thinking of me with all these terrible fires in tassie - luckily we are not near any effected area at the moment as we are in the north of the state. I am hoping for lots of rain to put them all out it's so scary! I hope you have a great day and happy new year too - Hugs x x
