Our Creative Corner Colour Challenge - Guest Designer

I was so thrilled to be asked to be   Guest Designer for this weeks challenge over at  Our Creative Corner It is the first time I have done anything like this. This weeks challenge is designed and hosted by Anne Marie Hile  Stampin' Anne and is a Colour Inspiration Challenge. Do check out the site if you are not familiar with it, they have a large and very talented DT team and their samples are always an inspiration.
We were asked to create a project using Yellow, Craft and White (or Ivory) Why not join in? Our Creative Corner

I decided to make quite a traditional card, using my new, recently released Michael Powell stamp. I live in Hove, on the South Coast of England and am very close the sea. I loved the natural feel of the colours in the challenge and wanted to reflect this in my sample. I stamped the image onto white card and matted it twice, once onto embossed craft card and again onto Coredinations card. I lightly water coloured the image using my daughter's Derwent Inktense Pencils. Even though I am new to water colouring, these are a sheer joy to use. To embellish, I used several different coloured stickles and a little perfect pearls. Lastly, I stuck a few tiny scraps of calico across the bottom of the card. I was pleased with the result as this really was a different kind of card for me

I was also thrilled to be selected as a Gingergem this week over at Gingersnap Creations If you voted for me - thank you so much!

I was excited to find out that I had won some gorgeous blog candy from Georgie Horn to celebrate her dad's 84th birthday - thank you Georgie, can't wait for the Postie to bring it.

I hope this post looks okay - I have just spend ages altering it because when I posted it, it looked really odd! The text was all over the place!!! it seems to be okay now - Phew!
