I have been waiting all day for good light to try and catch the true colours on this card, but when it got to 3 o'clock I decided to go with the daylight lamp and do the best I could. Matching colours does not come easily to me so I am quite proud of this my first entry for the challenge at Colour Create where this week the colours to use are Peach and Aqua. I ransacked my stash and found both pearlescent card in both these colours and a matching lighter shade of the aqua.
As you can see I decided to make a step card and out came my new stamp by Pollycraft again. I really love her - I think it's because she reminds me of my daughter when she had her hair in a very similar style a little while ago. Hmm she wouldn't listen to me when I said it would take ages to grow out and guess what process we are going through now!!! Yep you're right growing it out!!
The challenge at Wednesday Stamper this week is use hearts in a different way.
I used my large and small heart punch to create a flower. The large hearts were run through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder to give them texture.
The stamen in the centre is a small snowflake punch topped with a gem from my stash.
I think this flower is going to become my favourite embellishment alongside gemstones which means that I can enter it for the challenge at Our Creative Corner where the team want people to use and show work using their favourite embellishments.
The last step of my card contains the verse which is computer generated and originally sourced from a website called Imag-e-nation .
All the steps in my card have been decorated with gems and punched hearts.
At Tanda Teasers this week the theme is Hearts and Flowers so my card is also suitable for that challenge. There are certainly plenty of hearts - think I needed someone at the side of me chanting 'less is more' - lol!
Hope you like my card and I wonder how many of you will notice something really silly that I've done in one of the photos!
Answers on a postcard please or in the comments box - lol!

The colours are stunning Ann as is the whole card x
That's a super card Ann. I had such difficulty finding peach and aqua for mine. They're really not my colours but I have to admit they look great in your card.
