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.

With Sympathy

I have had 3 sympathy cards to make this week.

I have had 2 friends who have lost their father's this last week, they were both battling cancer.

Here's the card I made for Helen.

 I have used the In-Colours (Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride and Peach Parfait) and Level 2 Hostess Stamp Set Apple Blossom.

I stamped the stamp in the same colour ink as the card, then mounted them on Whisper White Card Stock which I had trimmed using Scallop Trim Punch and mounted it on Sahara Sand Card Stock.

The cards that I made for Jean and Karyn were a brayered card, that I had spare left over from Christchurch Regional in August. Click here to orgional post.
