Inspired by magazine colour combo's

I picked up some magazines that were left by Dutch families who had stayed in our home while we were away and just got inspired by the colour on the covers... I just had to experiment!


Love these red and blue tints.




Love these blue and lavender shades.


The 'Love' for the flower pot is a cut-out from the big collage stamp 'Lovebirds'.

This is the stamp I used from Hero Arts for the background in white.

    I love the white embossed birds in the frame...they look so lovely with the blue and red hues.
    Everytime I see one of your cards where you cut the flowers out I tell myself I have to remember to do that, I just love the way it looks.
    Great inspiration!

    Gorgeous cards, the top one is stunning with that touch of red & the birds are so sweet.
    I also love the Hero Arts book below.
