Purple and Green Heart Dazzles

This is my entry to this week's Secret Crafter Blog Challenge. This week's challenge, #48, is 'Hearts and Flowers' and so I decided to use my prize from the Paper Wishes Forum, which I won in a competition set when the forum was first launched.

Firstly, the heart Dazzles sticker was layered onto violet vellum from Papermania. This was then cut out and attached to a panel of lilac floral paper from the Hot Off The Press Dazzles and More paper book.

A greeting was stamped towards the bottom of the panel using the 'Happy Anniversary' stamp from Stamps Away using Versafine Imperial Purple archival pigment ink. Other Dazzles stickers were attached in the corners of the panel and either side of the stamped greeting.

A strip of green paper was attached across the purple lace section of the paper and a Dazzles border sticker was attached across it.


The inside of the card was decorated using matching papers and Dazzles and the 'Just For You' greeting from the Hot Off The Press Sentiments stamp set, stamped using the Imperial Purple ink.

I Won Something Else - And I Forgot All About It!!

I forgot all about this! Even when it fell through the letter box with an American postmark and a customs note saying 'Stickers Book' it didn't ring any bells.

Hubby was asking me what else I'd bought and I was trying to convince him nothing. It all fell on deaf ears.

Then I opened the parcel and I remembered! When Paper Wishes launched their new forum they had a competition and so many people would be chosen to win 10 sheets of Dazzles (that's peel-offs to you and me), and a book with card designs and Hot Off The Press papers and die-cuts in it to make some cards. The examples in the book are lovely and I'm actually tempted to get some of my peel-offs out again to make some cards with. They've been very neglected over the past twelve months as I've concentrated on making good use of my many stamps!!!
