Happy Monday .......
A really simple design using the Snowflake stencil, onto Kraft card with Distress Ink. I love how this has turned out.
I do hope you've had a nice weekend.
How about starting the week with a challenge ..... have you played along with this month's Simply Sweet Poppy Stencils challenge yet?
We've got another fun theme for you this month ..... In the Pink!
We want to see your favourite Sweet Poppy stencil designs ....... and don't think just because the theme is pink, it doesn't mean everything has to be floral. As long as it's pink it can be anything you like.
How about pink ............ snowflakes!
A touch of sparkle over the top with some Crystalina glitter .......
A simple sentiment. stamped in the same colour of Distress, only I used the oxide ink this time, I think it stamps better than the regular Distress......
And I finished with a sprinkling of Chunky White Embossing Enamel to give a snowy look.
If all your Christmas cards are done (lucky you!) or, you're just not in the festive mood yet, then what about .......... a pink Highland Cow! How cute does Isla look!
I've used three Sweet Poppy stencils here ...... and all in the pink!
The Plaid Back Plate for the background, in two shades of pink Distress ink .....
And then of course the beautiful Isla, the Highland Cow ........
She was then attached to the centre of the card using a wobbler, which gives a little dimension to the card and also means that she mooooves!! Sorry couldn't resist that.
So .... is pink your favourite colour, or is it a colour you never reach for? Either way, why not give this month's Simply Sweet Poppy Facebook challenge a go. The rules are simple ......
- Use ONLY Sweet Poppy stencils
- Follow the challenge theme
- Enter your project onto the Simply Sweet Poppy Facebook page, making sure to add the challenge theme to your post
- Your Sweet Poppy stencil MUST be the focal point on your card. You can use other branded inks and mediums and if you are using stamps on your design, remember to keep them small!
Thanks for popping by, enjoy the rest of your day.
Time for a quick coffee then I'm off to do some packing at my daughters ...... busy day ahead.
Cheerio until next time .........

Two beautiful pink cards Linda. You know it's my favourite colour. I joined the FB group but can't find where the challenge is. I am definitely challenged when it comes to FB. xx
Hi Loll, thanks for your lovely comments. It's nice to have you in the Simmply Sweet Poppy group. If you go onto the FB page you can find the rules for the challenge in the Photos section. You just need to follow the theme and create something fabulous then simply post it onto the Simply Sweet Poppy page with the Challenge theme in your post. Lucy then uploads all the entries into an album to get them all in one place. Hope this makes sense! Xx
