I won!!!

Look at what I got in the post this morning ;-). (I couldn't wait to give it a go so it's already mounted on one of my stamping blocks!)

I was chosen as the winner on the stamp something challenge blog last week and the prize was this gorgeous Whiff of Joy stamp. I can't believe how quickly it got here and I am so happy with it. I have already stamped it loads of times and am now going to sit and watercolour a few of the images ready for some card making.

I'd just like to say a huge thank you to Stamp Something. Can you tell I am really happy!!!!

Spoonful, Cupcake & Stamp Something Challenges

Having not joined in with any challenges recently I quite surprised myself when I managed to make one card which covered three challenges. They are:

A Spoonful of Sugar ~ Challenge no. 42 a sketch

Cupcake Challenge ~ Challenge no. 30 Spring I think this card is very Spring like with the butterflies and the colourful flowers

Stamp Something ~ Favourite Somethings My favourite embellishment on a card has to be butterflies

Here is the sketch I worked from:

And my card

You can see from this picture I have layered the butterflies and made them three dimensional.

Hope you like the card and thanks for looking, I'll be back tomorrow to show you another one.

Spoon full of sugar no. 33

I've made a quick card for a couple who have just had their first baby, a little boy. I've used the sketch at A Spoonful of Sugar and I've also inadvertently covered a couple of the other challenges taking place this week:

Stamp Something - The challenge this week is 'No Stamping Allowed'

Our Creative Corner - This weeks challenge is a colour challenge; 'Use 2 shades of blue', there's obviously lots of blue on the card but I'm using the flowers in the corner to cover this challenge!

Here's the sketch:

Here's my card:

The footprints are actually a metallic blue in real life but the camera just didn't seem to want to pick this up so they look black in the photo.
