For my first project, I wanted work this gorgeous matching patterned paper (from the Affectionately Yours pack) into the mix. I sometimes find it tricky to really feature a pretty paper in a way that allows it to shine, but I'm so pleased with how this design turned out.  The Bold Butterfly framelit is a lovely shape for revealing just enough of this beautiful pattern to not feel too busy.  The embossing folder and white bakers twine added subtle interest to the white panel. I've heat embossed the sentiment in white on black card to help it stand out from the vibrant background.

I'm in love with the very on-trend shiny copper tones in this Specialty paper!  I wanted to carry some copper over into my second project today.  To do this I chose to stamp some Love and Affection flowers in VersaMark and heat set with the brand new Copper Emboss Powder.

The colour scheme of the patterned paper pack made the colour selection for my spray of flowers super easy.  Rather than tuck a doily in behind them, as would normally be my go-to subtle layering technique, I decided to add some detail from this second Floral Affection folder instead.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I know you'll have fun following the hop and browsing all the beautiful creations the rest of the team have come up with!

I had a lot of fun playing with the pretty Love and Affection stamp set for this sweet project today.  I've chosen to feature the brand new Flirty Flamingo tone for my main flowers, with a mix of old olive foliage and spray of little rich razzleberry and mint macaron blooms. 

I stamped the imagery on a piece of shimmery white cardstock.  Before watercolouring the pink flowers, I stamped the rich razzleberry centres and set them with clear embossing powder so they wouldn't bleed purple into the soft pink petals.

The layered stamping work is really the star of this design. I've gone with some simple touches to complete the card - a strip of coordinating Affectionately Yours Designer Washi Tape, a little bakers twine bow and a slim Mint Macaron border..

You might recognise the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment I've added to the mix from the new Confetti Celebration set.  I liked how the strong upper case lettering of this sentiment worked with the cursive Love and Affection 'sending a smile your way' font.

I hope you've enjoyed this card.  Thank you for stopping by!  Be sure to continue the hop by visiting fellow Aussie Artisan Jessica Williams. Her creations never disappoint!

#TGIFc57, Owl Builder Punch, Affectionately Yours DSP, Flirty Flamingo Ribbon, Stampin' Up!, Papercraft by Jennifer Frost, Love and Affection, Girls birthday card

This new challenge is all about drawing inspiration from one of the designs shared over at the TGIF challenge blog this past month.

My project today was inspired by this entry by Elizabeth Price for last week's #TGIFc56 theme challenge.

I loved her layout, the decorative background, how she incorporated ribbon behind the circle feature and the added texture of the linen thread.  Thank you for the inspiration Elizabeth!

It's been a while since I pulled out my owl punch.  I thought it would be a beautiful embellishment for a friend's birthday we are celebrating next weekend.  I started with the tummy of this cutie in some Affectionately Yours designer series paper.  I then built the rest of the owl in matching tones.  I initially wanted to add some balloons to the design but then I spotted this beautiful little 'bouquet' in the Love and Affection stamp set and then the floral theme just clicked and everything else fell into place.

It's such a pleasure to browse the TGIF challenge participant entries.  There are always so many clever ideas and designs to inspire.  Head on over to the TGIF challenge site and play along - who knows, it might be your fabulous creation that inspires us next!
