In the Red

Good morning blogging world.  I hope the sun is shining where you are, it is here and was yesterday too.  I made a discovery yesterday, I found Hyde park, not the one in London, the one in Hyde!! - going for walks around my local area has helped me find all kinds of things - there's a disused reservoir just 5 minutes up the road from us, that now a nature reserve.  Back to Hyde park, lovely for a quick wander.  Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me which is a shame as there's lots to see including a beautiful bandstand.  I wonder where my wander later today will take me?

Anyway what did I get up to last night?  I made some cards of course, whilst watching American Idol.

This card I made for a challenge over at Card Patterns.  As soon as I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to use my Tiny Treats: Valentine set from Papertrey Ink.  I'm loving the kraft with the red and the little tail of the bunny is given a bit of extra texture with some ultrafine flowersoft.

 

This card is for the challenge over at Embellish Magazine.  I love the way the challenges are colour based, with an added theme.  As it's for an invitation I've kept it quite simple so that I could rustle up a lot in a short time.
