The challenge this month at
StampAMemory was to create a layout using this photo for inspiration:
Cute eh? This is what I came up with:
I thought I'd also add a photo of the layout with the photo on it as I came across a blog the other and the Demonstrator had done this and I have to say, it was wonderful! A photo can change the look of a layout dramatically. So when possible, I plan to do this myself!
To create the "heart" I die cut 7 flowers from the Blossom Party die, texture-embossed them, sprayed some water on, crunched them up, then rubbed the same colour stamp pad over them. I was planning on just creating a big flower like in the inspiration photo but after a little play, decided a heart was much more appropriate. I sprayed the blue heart with water after stamping to blur the image. For the title, I die cut the letters, applied glue, dazzling diamonds then a coat of crystal effects, they look so pretty in real life!

Sorry for the lack of blogging, I've actually been quite busy, craft-wise, and it's time I got back on here and shared some of it!
Here another Pony Party card I thought I'd share too. I made it a few months back for my nieces' 6th birthday. I included a set of coloured pencils and my sister said as soon as my niece opened the card, she was off to colour it in!
Can you tell I like to make easel cards?
