Hello peeps, I hope this week is being kind to you.
It's time to kick off a year of Challenges from
and I am hosting the first one. It's a theme very close to my heart....PAPER!!
My long time followers will know that I have a longstanding obsession with paper pads. Wherever I go, if there is a 6 x 6 pad of gorgeousness it will find it's way home with me!!
Back at the start of my crafty journey my very first paper pad was from My Minds Eye and I seem to have many from that brand that really ought to be used up.
This one is So Sophie, Graceful and has such a lovely deep but soft colour palette.
I used one of Jules' new rectangular sketches, it's #1 of her ever growing rectangle series. (Thank you x)
The Inkylicious stamp (A Good Life) was heat embossed in black on to one of the papers.
You can see the lovely glossy finish below.
I hope you will feel inspired and rediscover a long lost paper pad that's just crying out to be used.
See you on Saturday xx
I really must use the mountains of DP in my stash but it's SO difficult to cut into a crisp new sheet!! Stamping on the DP looks fab and as you say a lovely soft colour palette. HNY! :)
ReplyDeleteThe embossing looks great on the paper and a fab design too.
