Awash with some Baja, Plum and Pear Pizzazz

Soooo....I have been creating.....yep that's right creating!!!! Lots of it too. I guess that's what Convention does to you- gets those creative sparks firing and makes you want to create just for the love and joy of it.
My first card that I am posting tonight I created with the colour challenge set by the fabulous Tania Gould of Just Add Ink. Really lovely colours too. Here they are:

And here is my card:


Project Recipe
Stamp Sets:     Awash with Flowers; Vintage Labels (retired)
Card/Paper:    Perfect Plum; Baja Breeze; Whisper White; Pear Pizzazz DSP
Ink:                    Baja Breeze; Pear Pizzazz; Perfect Plum; Versamark
Accessories:    Oval Nestabilities; Scallop Edge punch; Clear Embossing Powder; Dazzling Diamonds; Baja Breeze striped grosgrain (retired) 

  I have wanted this stamp set 'Awash with Flowers'for such a long time and it is finally mine. I really LOVE it and I am having such fun playing with it. I hope you can see how sparkly the big tulip is. I used a 50/50 mix of clear embossing powder and Dazzling Diamonds to make it shiny and sparkly all at once. My bow is of course a Teneale Williams bow- these little babies are going to be popping up all over the place after her amazing Workshop WOW at Convention. It looks a lot fuller in real life.


You won't quite believe it but I have another card to show you in my next post. I'm on fire- hahahaha.

Oh, this is BEAUTIFUL, Louise! The colours work perfectly with that gorgeous stamp set (that I'm just a teensy bit jealous of you, for owning, LOL). The sparkle is beautiful :)

You certainly are on fire. Love your Teneale inspired bow and your card is 'awash with gorgeousness'. It was lovely to meet you at Convention and I loved your cute little 3D swap.
