Chocolate Raspberry and Cream on the Catwalk

Hello my lovelies, don't you just love the week between Christmas and New Year, its the perfect time to relax, catch up on some TV and eat too much lol. Its great for catching up on some crafting too so why not pop over to Fashionable Stamping Challenges and join us for our new challenge which is a colour challenge chosen by my lovely DT Sister Yvonne - 'Chocolate Raspberry and Cream' sounds yummy doesn't it?  Pop over to the challenge blog and check out all the gorgeous inspiration from my teamies and also find out about the fab prize from our sponsor Flonzcraft.


I've made a little book, the colours have really bleached out on the photos unfortunately. I was inspired by this gorgeous project by Rebecca over at the Frilly and Funkie blog and followed the tutorial to create the pages for my little album. I've used stamps from Flonzcraft and Chocolate Baroque. The gorgeous pink papers are from Pion Design. I've added some metal charms and some shabby pink frantage here and there too 


I've added lots of die cuts, seam binding ribbon, lace and added some pretty die cut butterflies here and there too


Some of the pages have punched borders and I've also dusted off my embossing folders to add some texture here and there too


I've made loads of paper flowers, you can't have too many flowers can you?



I've used lots of distress inks in Walnut Stain, Tea Dye, Victorian Velvet and Old Paper and added some pearls here and there for a bit of interest

I'm entering this project in the following challenges:
4 Crafty Girlz: anything goes
Artistic Stamper: anything goes
Crafts 4 Eternity: Something new (papers)
Creative knockouts: anything goes
Docerela Creations: anything goes
LEJ Designs: anything goes
Sparkles Forum: anything but a card
Stamplorations: stamps and silhouettes

well done if you've managed to get to the end of this post, I got a bit carried away with the pics lol. 

I hope you're going to join us for our new challenge.
Thanks for popping by, hope to see you again soon

  2. Ahh, you had me at "chocolate", Claire ;o) Seriously, though, this is a fantastic project! I love the shabby chic-ness of it all -- the colors, textures, die-cuts, stamping, embossing...Thanks so much for joining us at STAMPlorations!

  5. Can you believe Claire that I was going to use this stamp for my piece at FSC but then I saw this gorgeous make and changed my mind..

    Started another piece and then I saw that Dot had used the same stamp. Third time lucky I made a male card which I knew I would be fairly safe. lol.

    Warm crafty hugs from Shirl x x

    Nearly 2014 and I do hope that you and your family have health, wealth and happiness for the coming year.
