Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - Term 2 Post #9


     This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors Inspiration Team 2022 - Term 2! 

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group

Today I am a set of four cards made using the flower bouquet from

Enough  the October Challenge pack by Michelle Grant


Firstly I used the pre-coloured versions, just fussy cutting them and adding them to white card blanks.


I then added a rubber stamped image of the jar and a sentiment from 
Fleur by Karen Yates


 In my second pair the images needed to be coloured and I painted them with shimmery water colours.



In each case I again used sentiments from Fleur and fussy cut the bouquets.
The background in this one is a paper from Secret Garden Wallpapers by Elisa Ablett, trimmed and edged with vintage photo Distress ink.


In the second one I used a paper from Beautiful by Michelle Grant - a past Challenge pack from August


Happy Crafting!

Baby's First Christmas
By Cj Heck
So, this is Christmas morning...
everyone is here.
I don't really understand it
cause it isn't very clear,

but Mom and Dad are happy,
there's pretty ribbons everywhere,
lots of things that they call presents
and even paper I can tear.

They keep showing me this new stuff,
balls and books and even soxes...
they don't seem to know how fun it is
just playing with these boxes.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IF YOU DO NOT TELL US WHAT INSPIRED YOU, YOUR CARD/PROJECT WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PRIZE DRAW! 

 I have made a simple card using A Very Yeti Christmas Add On. I have paper-pieced this.

Inspired by: 'there's pretty ribbons everywhere,
lots of things that they call presents
and even paper I can tear.'


Basically a green card blank, matted with a paper from The Wonder of Christmas by Yvonne Creations. I then added the paper-pieced image trimmed to size.
The sentiment is from Echo Park Ephemera Gnome for Christmas.
The final task was to add green penwork around the two rectangles (which I had corner punched).


If you haven't already, please join our 
to stay up with all the challenges.

Thanks for playing along!


Happy Crafting!
