Simon Says Stamp has kindly sponsored this week’s challenge and I’m sure the lucky winner will have a great time picking out yummy new goodies to the tune of $15 from the store.
Stamps used: - House with Plant & Cloud Background (Hero Arts) & New Home (Anita’s).
I love this house stamp from Hero Arts so I’ve stamped off lots of images and have had fun colouring them using different colour combinations. The house here is coloured with watercolour pencils and for the background I sponged distress inks (shabby shutters, broken china & faded jeans) onto white card. I love looking at all the creative cards/layouts that Trinh comes up with and I absolutely loved the way she embossed the Cloud Background in white on one of her gorgeous cards here. It made such a beautiful, soft background so I decided to use her idea on my card.
I’ve been buying bits and pieces of ribbon since I started making cards and hardly ever use them, so I think it’s time to start digging into my stash. I find it hard to make nice looking bows and spend ages fiddling around with ribbons trying to get it right. It's too late now for this card but next time I must try this make your own bow maker that I just came across - I have the jar, the pegs and I certainly have the ribbon!
I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the challenge!

Gorgeous card, Heather. I love that stamp, it's a really versatile one and I'm just now noticing the clouds background - I have that one but have never used it, must ink it up! I'm chuckling at your "bow-woes", I've just solved mine with a bow-easy - my new favourite tool!!!
