Getting to know you

This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, Dawn has challenged us to create a project that features our signature style or a favourite technique.

Well you know I’m all about the paper (usually) and I do always love a bit of multi-step stamping. Plus the layout of this card is probably one I always fall back on.

Card | WPlus9 Rose Builder
Paper: Pebbles, Crate Paper
Stamps: WPlus9 – Rose Builder, PTI – Signature Greetings
Dies: WPlus9 – Rose Builder, Cheery Lynn – French Pastry Doily, Spellbinders – Fancy Tags Two
Other: Nuvo drops, sequins, Misti, 3D foam tape

Card | WPlus9 Rose Builder

So in addition to the paper and layout I suspect aqua blue is also my fall-back colour for floral cards. I always love combining it with pink tones, whether these more colourful Altenew pinks, or the dusky pinks I use when I combine my Adirondack and Distress ink shades.

Also it’s nice to hear how and where other people craft.

My craft space is my home office space (aka my workplace) so crafting has taken a bit of a hit since I spend most of my day at the same desk now and on an evening just want a change of scenery. I often work weekends at the moment which would ordinarily be my crafting Zen time, so I’m finding it a struggle to balance how I spend my free time. Hoping to be back on an even keel one day! lol

Make sure you check out the fab projects over on the blog and let’s see what your signature crafting style is!

    The layered rose stamps look gorgeous Nat. The colours and details are definitely very you – great card!

    Beautiful. The two step stamping is just gorgeous. I think this week my crafting will have to wait as I have to study my French for a presentation which I am very nervous about.

    This card looks a lot like you. I love your way of using lots of bright papers together … and adding a little stamp or two!

    This card is very “you” indeed. I admire your layering skills – I’ll never ever get there! Love the papers you chose.
