Balloons…

Hello

Today’s card I am linking up to the current challenge at Inspired by Stamping here and the customer gallery.

I followed this sketch

Here is my card

I started by printing some IBS digital paper which was in the latest newsletter.  I think one of the colours in my printer wasn’t right – my paper is more green than the newsletter sample.  I am sorry Joanna if this isn’t how you intended the colours to look.  Anyway I used the paper I printed.  It seemed to co ordinate really well with SU Pool party cardstock and coastal cabana ribbon.  I used Mama Elephant Sew Fancy stitched circle die and Lifestyle crafts nested circle dies for the die cut circles. I used SU Pool party, Bermuda bay, Night of Navy and Baked Brown sugar inks to stamp the images from Inspired by stamping Celebrating 2 years. I finished the card off with a little die cut from SU Balloon Framelits.

Thanks for stopping

Cheers

Jane’s Doodles Garden Friends + Jungle Baby…

Hello

I really have no excuse for my lack of posts. I have been creating trying to use new things before I put them away. It is great idea in theory however I seem to have fallen behind.

Today I am sharing cards I made using Jane’s Doodles Garden Friends and Jungle Baby along with sentiments from Inspired by stamping Celebrating 2 years.

And as my cards involve a bit of colouring I thought I would link them up to Kathy’s blog here

I started by stamping 6 different images from Garden Friends and Jungle Baby on Xpress it blending cardstock. I coloured these with various alcohol markers over several days/nights whenever I got a few minutes. I then mounted each one onto coloured cardstock and attached to my card fronts. The sentiments from Celebrating 2 years and Jungle Baby were then stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Thanks for stopping

Until next time

Cheers

Watercolour blooms…

Hello

Today my card is inspired by watercolour.

I am linking up to the following challenges here and here

Birthday

and

Here is my card

I started with some watercolour paper and added the inked watercolour background using PTI Spring Moss ink. I stamped the leaf image from Uniko Background builders Vines also in PTI Spring Moss ink. The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Celebrating 2 years stamped in versafine onyx black ink. The flower from Uniko Flower #6 was stamped with SU Pink Pirouette and Regal Rose ink and fussy cut out before popping up with foam tabs. I mounted this onto black cardstock.  To finish off I added a few sequins.

Thanks for stopping
