Cloud 9 - challenge No. 1



There is a new challenge on the block - Cloud 9 celebrates all things Wplus9 and this is the inaugural challenge. And what better way to start than an inspiration photo of a party.


I haven't left myself much time to have a go at this challenge and this set has been sitting on my desk for a while.


What you need
Cardstock - SU white
Stamps - Wplus9 Magical Moments, Filigreed Frames
Ink - SU Cherry Cobbler, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Peach Parfait, Apricot Appeal, Daffodil Delight;  HA Soft Pool
Gems - Kaisercraft

I have been missing from the blog lately - with school holidays and the usual round of appointments, there isn't much time left.  My daughter and I have been having some fun with distress inks and stains and she has loved watching the videos from "Chemistry 101".  I think the appeal is not only the host but also that there is no right or wrong design or perfect positioning which is ideal for someone experimenting with their own style.

  2. Oh, how pretty! I love the way you interpreted the photo; the colors look wonderful arranged that way! Don't have any of those stamps, but if this is a typical example I'll have to give them a look--such a cool feather shape and the label frame is wonderful too. I didn't get a chance to take that class; I'm glad you and your daughter were able to enjoy it together. Maybe we will see some of her stamping sometime!

  8. What a cool pattern you created with those feathers! I love how you pulled the colors from the photo to create a gradient on your card, and the aqua frame just pops against the warm reds and oranges.
