Good morning fellow bloggers and a very big thank you for all of the lovely comments you all have been leaving and a big thanks to all my new followers :) x
Today is my first challenge since joining the Whimsy Digital design team and the theme is a little tricky for me ...Clean and Simple!!!! As you all know that's something I definitely don't do:) However I love them it's just I do get carried away with adding those flowers and bling...but look!!! I have been really good and not a flower in sight for this card:)
I have used is Birthday Ducky by Miss Rach which you can buy HERE The sentiment is also Whimsy: Party Mini Letter Seals which you can buy HERE
We can't wait to see all of your 'clean and simple creations' just hop on over to the Whimsy Inspriration blog HERE
Also you still have a little time to enter the August Release blog hop you will find my post HERE .....there is some prizes to be won!!! x

I have coloured 'Birthday Ducky' with copics and added a little glitter.
The pearl brads, pearls and pearl flower are all available from The Hobby House.
I have used a freebie embossing folder that I got with a magazine a while back and gently gone over with pan pastels.
I hope you like my Clean and Simple card .....we can't wait to see what you create

So here is my card using the very cute image called Watermelon by Lia Stampz........just a coincidence that my card is for my friends little girls 1st birthday, called Leah lol!!! x You can find Watermelon HERE
Not the best of photo's as the lens broke on my camera and have had to use my phone:(

 

I have used Whimsy Stamps products: Banner Pennant die set, Bottle Cap die, Elegant Notables 1 die (cut in half to make a fancy frame), Party Mini Letter Seals stamp.
I have used a craftworks card for the base card and created an easel card. The frame is a Go Create die which I have then added elegant notables cut in half around it to make it a fancy frame.

Good morning my fellow blogging  followers:) x
After all the excitement of catching up with the crafting world and seeing my Heartfelt Creations projects on Create and Craft TV last night (and yes I was screaming at the TV) and not a lot of sleep lol...I am here after my week in Dubai with my Heartfelt Creations project for this week..... A rather simple but elegant card using the Burst of Splendor stamps!

Instructions:
Choose some decorative paper from the paper collection. I chose some of the pretty pink. Adhere the deep pink card onto the front of the card. Matt and layer a pale dusky pink card and your chosen paper onto the front of the card. Stamp and colour up the Blooming Dahlia onto water colour card and cut out using the small die from the Gran Decorative circles. Cut out a small stately circle in deep pink card. Matt and layer the Blooming Dahlia image onto the deep pink circle, and adhere to the top centre of the card.  Stamp and die cut 2 leaves. Make a bow from pale pink organza ribbon. Adhere the 2 leaves and bow as in picture.  Stamp and cut out the sentiments.....’Missing You’ from the All Seasons Sentiments precut set. Die cut the small oval tag from the framed tag set. Now adhere the cut out sentiments onto the tag. Adhere the decorative button and tag to the bow. Finish the front of the card by adding the pearls on a string and pearl brads.

I have also decorated the inside of the card:

 

Cut out another small stately circle in dusky pink and stamp the small dahlia from the Blooming Dahlia precut stamp using the memento ink in sweet plum and bamboo leaves. Stamp your chosen sentiment using the bamboo green memento ink. Adhere deep pink card stock onto the inside of the card and layer a square of decorative paper from the paper pack about 5”x5”.  Finish by adhering the stamped stately circle onto the centre of the card and adding some stickles glitter.
