A nice warm cosy card for a cold morning...did somebody say snow...?
I like the blanket pattern. Made with the blanket border from Way out West - I love the tattered flower which came on a package I got from Carly Robertson!!! (; ) I love the wee scrunched leaves made out of leftover bits of paper doilies sponged with Antique linen distress inks...
Just wish I had coloured all the borders with that nice plum coloured copic - like the bottom border - I think it would have been stronger...ah well...you live...you learn....
Stamps - Way out West
inks - memento Rich cocoa - Antique linen distress ink and the orange one...oooh what is it....wild honey....i think. And...Versacolour Heliotrope
copic - Lavender V06
card - cream from local craft store, nothing special...
I love this Claire...the colors are divine and look great in this blanket pattern. Those roses are beautiful and look wonderful on this project.
ReplyDeleteooooh,Claire, THIS is what we have been missing the past few months--your creative takes on the lovely designs you produce.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding greedy, I'd love to see more of this.
What a lovely, lovely card. This one was already on my "wish list", and it has just moved up another notch.
I love this! The look of the background image with a little color is fantastic, yep think I'll borrow that one! And the rose with the doily leaves? Awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh Claire! your color combo is awesome! who would have thought to use purple! i'm already so in love w/ the blanket pattern. can't wait to have it in my hands!

Gorgeous Claire! love the sponging you do to highlight areas!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Claire. I can't wait to get my stamp order...I have 2 granddaughters that this phrase is meant for.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your artistry.
Love this Claire! I'm very drawn to the blanket pattern. I love that you only colored in one border - it makes it stand out like a ribbon. And those doily leaves are dreamy.
ReplyDeleteSee? Doily leaves! THAT'S what I was talking about - you're a genius! Not to mention that flawless background stamping. You amaze me! I am so happy to see a creation from you 'just because'... I just love new projects from you :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, that's a fab combination you've come up with for this card! I really like it... (saving for set!lol)
ReplyDeleteGreat card and I'm with Sandy re your take on your stamps...love it!! Give us more.....pretty please...and no we don't want snow...it's awfully cold again...windy and wet hereabouts...just horrible......the daffs are being blown about big time...they may well be flattened by morning!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Now I want that set even more. I'm saving up for all the western yumminess!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a really great card and your doily leaves are such a creative touch!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely and warm, and it's great to see a card from you - you got to play yay!! That blanket border stamp is beautiful, and the plum is a great colour with all the wonderful sponging you do! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Claire,
