Lorraine's Loft: 09/30/13

Hi all :-) How are you all on this lovely Monday evening ?? I hope you're all well :-)

I have just been playing with some of the new Simon Says STAMPtember® 2013 Release products and made a card to enter the Less Is More Challenge, this week Jan has made this fab CAS sketch :-)

I LOVE this new 'hello' Die and thought it would make a great sentiment for the sketch ,,,, what do you think ??

As the 'Hello' is quite big I didn't want to add anything else to the card front so I made an aperture and popped a flower in there. I forgot to photograph the inside but you can see it a little bit ,,,,I stamped the 'If friends were flowers' sentiment which is in the Whimsical Flowers stamp set.

I really LOVE how this card has turned out !

Thanks for looking :-) I appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)

Challenges:

Happy Monday to you !

Did you all have a good weekend ?? I had a great time ! On Saturday I got out the paints and inks and had a creative day making Gelli Prints and decorating the front of my new Shari Carroll Art Journal and then yesterday my lovely friend Dora, aka Especially For You Cards, came from Malta with fellow crafter Pauline and their respective hubby's. It was lovely to meet Pauline for the first time and Dora's and Pauline's husbands too,,, we did have a laugh :-)

Anyways , I am here today with a friendly reminder that the current challenge over on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge is

Blue is my fave colour ,,,, although I love Aqua too,, must be the Pisces in me :-)

This cute image is called 'Lip Smakin' Relaxin' but I think it must be discontinued because I couldn't find a link for it anywhere :-( Shame cos it is adorable eh !

Wouldn't you just love to soak in a lovely warm bath of hot chocolate with marshmallows to eat ,,,, YUM !! :-)

I used an Impression Obsession Background stamp and inked with HA Mid Tone Cornflower ink and I coloured all the layering card (which was white) with the same ink as I didn't have the 'right' colour blue in my blues drawer :-)
