Not colours I would have placed together but I am liking the challenge

Here what I did

Stamps: In the spotlight & It's Beautiful & Boho Background
Cardstock: Pumpkin pie, Ruby Red, Sage Shadow & Whisper White

Colour Challenge #27

I know I am a little late but I really wanted to make sure I keep up with the challenges.

The challenge was to make a project using any red or pink as a main colour. We then had free range to choose to include any other colours.

So I am not really a pink lady so I thought I would make this a real challenge to use pink.
For the brad I took a silver one and inked it in the whisper white and then straight into the dazzling diamonds. It gives your brad that sparkle effect.
I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to get placement for the word. I just love the stamp-a-ma-jig, it just takes all the guess work out with placement.

Anyway here the card I have come up with, what do you think of it?

Materials
Stamps: Bloomin'with Beauty & Rough Texture
Ink: Pale Plum, Purely Pomegranate, Garden Green, Whisper white & Soft Sky
Cardstock: Whisper White & Pale Plum, Watercolour Paper, Purely Pomegranate
Other: Silver brad, Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamonds, Stamp-a-ma-jig

Senz update

Senz has been and gone and man did I have a blast and it was so awesome to be there and catch up with all my friends and make new ones.

So I was lucky enough to have the Friday off work and man there was tso many people on that day.
My first class on the Friday was Roses's Garden, with Rose McKenzie.
I just love Roses classes, they are always challenging but I love the end product.

So here is the card I made in the class.


My next class was Family Heritage layouts, and the tutor was Kerin.
And this is the layout I came way with.
This is the beginning of the Family Heritage layout for Otis Grandmother.
It was great class to get me started


Then on the Saturday I did All you can cr-EAT-e Card Buffet with Nic Howard in the morning and then Prima Paintables again with Nic Howard.


Just love Nic as a tutor, and her classes are from anything but fast, wonderful product and lots and lots of technicques.
I am so glad I did both of these.

My Secret

Well I can post it on my blog now but on Thursday the 25th September it was my lovely husband birthday.
As a surprise I arranged with the help of Otis parents, we arranged for both of us to fly up to Auckland for the weekend.

Otis Parents booked the flights and I arranged for him to have the day off on Friday. I also arranged for my parents to take us to the airport early Friday morning.
It was hard keeping it a secret but man was it an awesome surprise. This is one secret he didn't know about.

We have a wonderful time up there and it was great to see all the family again especially Jade & Josiah who are our new nephew and niece.

I didn't get cluckly up there either, i just enjoyed being an Aunty.
I also think Otis enjoys being an Uncle too.
Have a lovely week
