Challenge #12 - Elements of Nature

Oh so many ideas for this challenge it was hard to settle on a final choice.  I have not done any watercolour backgrounds for ages so for this card my final decision was based around creating my own watercolour background in my favourite colours :) :) :).  A clean and simple card using two dies - Ornate Trellis from Crafters Companion and the doily from the magazine Die Cutting Essentials; and stamps from  the Creative Stamping magazine.  To finish off I added liquid pearls in very pale blue.

Elements of Nature

Hello folks.  We have another challenge at One Stitch At A Time so how about popping over to see all the fabulous creations by the design team.  The prize this month is a $10 coupon to spend in the store :)

Challenge 266 Theme 

'Anything Goes with ELEMENTS OF NATURE'

Such a lovely theme and just about anything you create will fit in some way :) :) so we do hope you come on over and join us in our challenge this fortnight. 

I opted for a flower based card using a paper and image pack by Coosty Creations called Vintage Rose 2   and a sketch layout I found on the net somewhere.  Nothing to complicated but I was able to use each of the papers in the pack which was cool.  The image was printed 3 times and coloured with Polychromos.  To finish off I added the Love die in navy blue along with a bow, wee angel charm and some pearls.  

I gave this card to my Mum along with a lovely blue snuggle blanket so there is a bit of sentiment going on here.  I often send folks a virtual blanket of love to wrap themselves up in when life is throwing challenges at them (OK Mum got a real blanket lol) and Mum also loves angels so I included the angel charm to watch over her.  Hopefully both will give her a sense of love and knowledge that she is a super special lady who I love dearly :)
