Yay….it’s finally Friday! The end of week and Inkspiration challenge time, it’s a colour challenge this week of Sage Shadow, Basic Grey, Apricot Appeal and Whisper White….. great colours but I have never used them together and I must say when I got the colours I was like WHAT? but they do work well together.
I am going to be quick, I have crawled out of bed to go to the doctors and post this card, I have totally lost my voice and feel like I have been hit in the head…. I need to get better by next week for Stampin’ Up! Convention, at least I have all my swapped made, I am almost packed and pretty much ready to go however I have a bit of work to knock over before Thursday…. But I am SO excited…..
I am pretty happy with this card, I really like the flowers which I have watercoloured with an Aqua Painter, cut out and then glittered, I think they look really effective. For the background I used Tres Chic, which I inked parts of in VersaMark and clear embossed. The Friends stamps is actually from the Friendship jumbo wheel that I chopped up and it is now a great sentiment stamp set. I am learning to embraces the “rip” as Debbie Crouse from 7Gypsies told me to start doing after our class last weekend, I like the rip detail on one side of the flower panel.
Like always….a pretty inside…..

Your card is as beautiful as ever. I really love that you put as much effort into the inside of the card as you do the outside. Very inspiring!
Very pretty!
Lovely card. Did you & Sarah-Jane get hit by the same bug? Hope you’re ok by next Thursday!

I think I need to read a Thesaurus to find some more superlatives to describe your cards Teneale! I have overused gorgeous, beautiful, amazing, etc … I need some new words! This one is, as always, all of the above and I will take free to CASE it sometime soon, you can be sure! Hope you feel better real soon and have a fantasmagorical time at Convention. Cheers!
So very subtle and pretty Teneale! I love the two pins and the ripping suits the card perfectly! I have done it for boy cards but never pretty ones. I love it!

Another stunning card Teneale – I bet it looks so good IRL with the embossing and 3-D flowers. Very pretty and a wonderful job with the colour challenge.

Just beautiful. TFS
This card looks simply elegant. But I know you spent a bit of time on it, just cutting out those flowers. It is so worth it. Hope you are bouncing by the time convention comes. If we sent a swap with someone who was going to convention would you swap with us? Cheeky question huh?
Hi Teneale,
Love your card, lots of work cutting out those flowers. I think you have the challenge number wrong, Renee did also, you must be too excited to have noticed!! LOL
