CraftyHelen has been crafting again.

I'm back.
Our house is back to normal.
We helped shift Jan and Kodi on the weekend in a nice wee house, so Savannah can have her bedroom back and the van can sleep in the garage again.
I got some crafting done yesterday and today YEAH.
With me not crafting for so long I haven't done any challenges lately, there are two challenge site I love so I have combined them for this card.
I have used the Sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday #26.
 And the Colour Challenge from Just Add Ink # 78.
Here is what I came up with.
 The card sort of evolved as I went on, the colours didn't smoke my tyres, but I really pleased with the end result.
I brayered the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.
 I made the vase using Contempo Christmas Stamp and matching Punch, I love it.
 I have used Petal Pizzazz and Tiny Tags Stamp Sets.
Petal Pizzazz is on the retiring list, It's a great set, contact me to order yours because after 31st August you will no longer be able to get it.
Here's the inside, I used Apple Blossom level 2 Hostess Set.
It not to late to ring and book a workshop so you earn this before the end of the month because it will be retiring also.

  4. Love how you have done the back ground on this. Same patterns but different colour and negative/postive of the pattern. Great idea.
