Decisions, Decisions…

This week am going to enter the same card for two challenges linked to below, plus and a second one for the PDCC71 challenge.

 Less Is More Pastel Design and

  P1020157_wm

the Play Date Cafe PDCC71 colour splash .

PDCC71

Here is this weeks card for both challenges… After much trial and error, trying out chalks, pencils and Distress Inks this is what i eventually decided to enter.  I designed and cut the scallop DL sized card using my Pazzle Inspiration electronic die cutting machine and software.

Pastel home LIM 05 

The stamps used are from Polka Doodles and Molly Blooms both free with crafting magazines Papercraft Essentials and Simply Homemade.

Used ASDA colouring pencil light blue

Tumbled Glass Distress Ink

Black Versafine Ink to stamp all the images and text

Here are a couple of cards i made but decided not to complete them or made mistakes which meant that they weren’t suitable to enter the LIM challenge…

Pastel LIM 01 distress Pastel heart LIM 02 Pastel banner LIM 03

 

May i say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the people who visited and commented on last weeks LIM entry.  I was amazed to get so many lovely and positive comments! Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment, each and every single one was much appreciated.

Thanks for dropping by:-)

    it was great to see the other cards you considered for our challenge... and I feel delighted that they are actually fulfilling their purpose of challenging you!
    The card you finally decided on is a very interesting shape, I don't have an electronic cutting machine of any description, so tend to stick to easier shapes of cards.
    I like the bunting.
    Thanks for joining us yet again and we hope to see you next week!

    I like how you've used the bunting stamp. I got those stamps but they haven't seen ink yet!

    An interesting shape - Does it rock when you tip it? The bunting stamp looks great.

    I really don't know why you were dubious about entering these challenges, I find it is always great to see different approaches and not every one is a sheep!
    Would also like to say that I am so jealous as I have very thin and fine hair? lol.

    What an unusual shape of card! Love it and the bunting is gorgeous especially chalked in this soft blue.

    To answer your question: Stampin' Up make a stamp on a wheel so that you can stamp a border miles long if you choose. The Neighbourhood wheel is one of these with a load of houses on it!
    Happy crafting! Vx

    Do you really have a mass of hair??!!! Your blog name makes me laugh!

    Thanks for your comments on my blog and yes, I'm gutted at having to wait so long for the F1 season to start :-(

    I too have that freebie stamp with the little house on, it looks really cute on your card. Love the bunting too, xx

    What a great shape for the LIM challenge card, and I think the bunting follows the contours perfectly. It's great to see your other cards too - they are so creative.
