Peaceful

The current challenge on Time Out is Peaceful.

This theme immediately made me think of yoga so here is the card I made. I stamped the lotus flower and then clear embossed this before painting it with water colours. To make the card more interesting I die cut the panel which I then mounted onto linen card.

Materials used:-

Lotus flower stamp - Casual Fridays 'mon ami' set

Sentiment - Penny Black 'love and yoga' set

Watercolours - Gansai Tambi Pearl Pink

Die - stitched indented rectangles by Elizabeth Craft Designs

Peace, love and yoga

I haven't had much time for crafting recently,  but when I saw the this month's One Layer Simplicity Challenge I immediately had an idea for a card.  Yoga is one of my hobbies and so I felt the lotus flower was appropriate for this card.

Materials used:-

Mask - the Crafter's Workshop Balzer Designs
Distress ink - picked raspberry
Sentiment - Penny Black "love and yoga" set

This makes me happy!

This week's challenge on Less is More is entitled "This makes me happy". I was struggling to come up with an idea for this, not because I'm a miserable person, but because I couldn't find a suitable stamp. Then I remembered I had downloaded a digi stamp of a very happy girl doing yoga so problem solved! I've been doing yoga regularly for over 30 years and love it although I'm not quite so supple as the girl in the card.

Materials used:-
Digi download from Pink Petticoat
Spectrum Noir pencils
Sentiment - Uniko Studio "Strike a pose" set
Tag die - Creative Expressions pierced tags
Linen card
Ribbon from stash
