Sarah Kay Bows

I don't normally get to do the Magnolia Vs Stampavie challenge as Sundays are the family day and then I often forget to do it later in the week. But hubby has been away and Ellie wanted to craft so while she was busy I had a go at this week's challenge which is bows.
This was my 1st go ...

I coloured Spring Blossoms in distress inks and cut her out. I adapted an Ismaki sketch for the card and used Making Memories papers. The lace, ribbon and flowers are all from my stash. I am not sure I like it - its a bit washed out for me ... but thats because I am trying to use up my papers ... and some that are left are the ones I am not as keen on!!
So I had another go ...

I used the same image coloured in distress inks and matted onto Basic Grey Sugared papers. I love the effect that Kim gets by distressing her backgrounds and after a little help from her I am having a go at it myself. The background is distressed in tattered rose and tea dye. The scroll corners are stamped in Versafine sepia and the tag and scroll are sizzix dies.

While I was busy Ellie was making her own cards ... helped by Miffy!

Not sure who is concentrating the most!!

Miffy giving a helping (?) paw!!

And finally (if you are still with me!) a card I made last night, as I had the evening to myself.

Not sure whose the papers are - bought them as single sheets, but the flowers are Prima and the scroll cut from my sizzix die. I followed this week's Friday Sketchers layout as it is such a fab sketch. Tilda is coloured in distress inks and the background distressed in milled lavender.

Wow - you've got to the end!!
