There's so many possibilities with this one, aren't there? I decided to concentrate on the dark bg and a splash of colour:

The patterned paper I used here is from a 6x6 paper pad from Pebbles called Sunnyside.

Feather love

Hi there! Just popping in here to share some projects I made recently using Jane’s Doodles stamps. The first one is a card. I used a heart stamp from “Sweet Heart” set to create this background pattern, the sentiment is from “Big Sentiments” stamp set:

The second is a gift box. This time I created a stamped patterned paper using a leaf stamp from the “Mother's Flowers” set. This cute sentiment is from “Sweet Heart” stamp set. I also decided to add a feather that I had left over from the previous card - I just {heart} them lately! They are simply cut out from a water coloured paper:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Runway Inspired Challenge #28

Welcome to the latest Runway Inspired Challenge! Here's this week's look to inspire you:

source: style.com

And my take on it:

I love watercolour technique and I can't seem to stop using it on my cards lately. This time I wanted to try also something new so I created a mini card, about 3 by 3 inches in size using the Dandelion stamp from Hero Arts (I'm entering this card to the Moxie Fab World Itty Bitty Card Challenge).

Looking for more inspiration? Make sure you check out the rest of the design teams fabulous cards:
