It is time for a new challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps and we are getting in the mood for a little bit of love 🙂

I’ve made another window card…

…with a love heart centre thanks to a little bit of masking.

And I added a little bit of Wink of Stella to the flowers for some subtle shimmer (yes I caved and bought one….nothing like jumping on the bandwagon :))

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar.

Hope that you will find some time to play along.

Until next time,

I’m popping in just before the deadline for this month’s Papertrey Ink Blog Hop – Pretty in Pink.

I layered strips of patterned paper onto some white card stock and then to create a softer look, I sewed a piece of vellum over the top. The sentiment is white heat embossed on top of the vellum.

Until next time,

Hello. This week it is my turn at the Muse Card Club.

This is something a little different for me as I very rarely decorate the inside of a card. Well I think I have certainly made up for it this time. I got out my trusty punches and put them to work. Here is the inside of the card.

I used Bazzill Swiss dots card stock to add some interest to the punched flowers. The sentiment was computer generated.

Here are some of the guidelines if you are unfamiliar with how Muse works.

Hi everyone,

It is time for a new monthly challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps.

I do find colour challenges a bit tricky, but once I selected some inks that matched the above colours, it all came together quite quickly. I masked off the heart and stamped away until the whole card front was covered. I added some rhinestones to some of the flower centres to add some sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by,

It’s Friday – Yay. This week at AnnaBelle Stamps the Belles are showcasing the set Sentimental Bluebells. This is a new set for me and I had fun playing with those sweet flower images.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects to see how they have used this set – their links are on my side bar.
