Tuesday Trigger - Sweet Season

Hello,

The latest Tuesday Trigger is Sweet Season
It truly is a sweet image, a very original wedding cake.  I have used the white for weddings and the colour silver from the stand and made a card for silver wedding anniversary.  I have kept the banners but used silver to keep to the theme.  I don't have ruffled ribbon so I have used a lattice punch for interest.
Supplies:  White and silver card,  Kathy Martin digital banner, PTI sentiment, K & Co stickers, MS punch, ribbon and twine

Challenges for this card;

Purple and Yellow

Hello,

Make My Monday challenge for this week is to use purple and yellow.
Supplies:  White, yellow and purple card, Blockheads image, PTI sentiment, VersaColor.

I have admired this technique on numerous cards.  First I tried swiping ink pads across the card.  It looked easy and it sounded easy but...  So then I used a brayer.  I am happy with the result but definitely need practise.  It was fun to make.

The card is also for the following challenges -

Poppies and Doilies

Hello,

It has been a lovely day today.  The weather has been calm and sunny.   It started with a heavy frost, I overcame that by getting up later.  I was able to put the washing outside on the line and I even did some work in the garden.  We drove out into the country to visit some friends, everything is so beautifully green and the dams are full (these dams haven't been full for years and year)  As I said a lovely day.

Now to tonights card -
Supplies: White card, Hero Arts-Starburst Lace & sentiment, Blockheads Poppy, VersaMark Watermark , Alison Ellis clear embossing powder, VersaColor, Lyra pencils, ribbon, mounting foam.

NOTE -  The Starburst Lace image was clear embossed and then Fired Brick Distress ink was gently applied over it.  Finally I gently used a tissue to remove excess ink.
