Christmas in July...

Morning folks...I hope the weather is good wherever you are...it's a bit rubbish up here!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is "Christmas in July".

I bought this stamp set last year but never got around to use it so making the effort to get my unused stuff used!

First I stenciled those little trees with various shades of green and blue...now this stencil was not part of the same set as the stamp but thought it matched perfectly.

I stamped up 3 different little trees, coloured them with copics and then die cut and layered them onto the card.  I stamped and white embossed the sentiment and layered that onto the card too.

I added some doodling around the edges too.

Challenges:

C.R.A.F.T. challenge - Christmas

Fab 'n' Funky - Christmas in July

Happy birthday to you...

 Hi folks,

Well it's the boss's birthday coming up and this is what I have made her, I hope she likes it.

I just love this flower stamp from Gina K...so I decided to use it and stamped and white embossed it onto watercolour card, then I masked it off and stamped and white embossed the birthday text.  I then randomly added some watercolours, I wanted some subtle colouring but some areas I wanted it to be more vibrant.  I added some spalshes of colour too, not that you can see those splashes unless you zoom in. I samped the sentiment, die cut the numbers and the word "you" in rose gold foil card and layered those onto the card.  I added some dots, gems and sequins to finish.

When it rains....

 

 Hi everybody, I hope the sun is shining wherever you are!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is ""rainbows and rainy days".

I do love a rainbow....they really make me smile when I need cheered up.

I made this card using the stamps and dies from Taylored Expressions...it's a really fab kit and there's lots of options but opted for this one.  I actually used the stencils to create three colours of the rainbow and I die cut the fourth in gold glitter card, I stamped the dots over the rainbow along with the sentiment, I also die cut a couple of clouds and inked them up a bit.  I added some doodles around the edges and some sequins to finish.

The theme this fortnight is "spring"

I treated myself to some new stuff...trying hard to get my mojo back.  I inked up this stencil with spring colours, then stamped the sentiment, layered them onto black card and then onto the card...added some sequins and dots to finish.

Happy Easter...

 

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

As Easter is just around the corner, then why not have an Easter theme!

I have had this stamp set for a while but only used it once, it's so cute...I do like when there's sentiments and images in the same set, makes it so much easier too.

So I inked up the bunnies using blue, green and yellow, then added the eyes...I fussy cut as I don't have the matching die (I don't think).  I then layered it onto the card.  I added a little die cut cloud and some sequins and dots.

Happy St.Patrick's Day...

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The challenges this fortnight is "Bottom's Up or St. Patrick's Day".

I went for the St. Patrick's Day option, not that I celebrate it but I do like this stamp and only used it once before so best make use of it!

I stamped it up with a couple of different colours of green ink and added some splodges of colours...oh and some sequins.
