You've got this - SIP #1

And for my second post for today (yes, quite unusual I know!) is a card I made recently for a new friend's birthday and uses another new stamps set - You've Got This :-) Now I'm not the best colourist by any stretch but I decided to have a go on this set with an Aqua Painter onto some water colour paper and the colour ended up quite a lot brighter than I expected :-)

And I've found a new Challenge Blog! Stamps Ink Paper is hosting it's very first challenge and is the creation of Justin Krieger. Justin, is a fellow that I am indeed grateful to - as it was he that suggested some time ago  (maybe 2 years ago??) that I should enter some challenges. Of course I didn't think I would be good enough but ran the idea past a couple of my local stamping friends and they were very encouraging too and so I created this Blog - challenges are fabulous for pushing you to create a little outside of your usual "box' and help you grow and that certainly has been the case for me. As they say, the rest is history lol - and now honoured to be on two Design Teams, here I am at over 250 blog posts!! So I am excited for Justin and his Team of talented Designers in their new venture and wish them all the best of success!  And I encourage you to pop on over and check them out :-) 

They are beginning with this week's challenge : 

I have many favourite stamp sets that I can't choose between yet - so I chose the newest one with one of my favourite colours lately - Calypso Coral and lots of white space. My favourite style is I think Clean and Layered with Bling :-)

And so I couldn't go past the new Metallic Sequins pack and try out some white sequins! And lately i am also loving the trend of using stamped words like they are Dymo labels as you can "scatter" them a little too!
