Love...

 

It's time for another challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog.  The theme is love/valentine.  Now I'm normally not into love cards...when you reach a certain age, it's just another day lol!  Anyway I found a website with fab stamps so I had to buy a few and the background on this card was one of the new stamps... it's stamped in layers with different colours to build .up the pattern.  I added the die cut Love on top and then I thought I would add a little stamped you.

Wintertime...

 

Hi folks,

Not sure I'm entirely happy with this one.  I saw Sue had made a card similar to this and that's where I got my inspiration ....although mine is not as good, |I need to practice the blending as it's been a while.  I also used oxide inks to blend which I haven't used before so I need to practice.  The stamps are from Lavinia stamps.  I added glitter to the snow drifts and touched up the tree with a white pen to make it more snowy like.

Hope you like it.

Bee happy...

 

It's time for another challenge over on the Stamping Sensations Challenge blog.  The theme this month is anything goes with the option of wings or tails.

We have a fabulous sponsor this month...they are giving one lucky winner a stamp bundle.

Uniko

For my card I stenciled the background and added some glitter.  I also added some splashes to the background...I like that look!  I stamped the image and embossed with clear embossing powder, I then coloured the bee and the centre of the flower with watercolours.  I cut the image out and layered it onto the card...I added a piece of black cord to make it look like a stalk and leaves...finished with some dots and sequins....oh and I doodled around the edges too.

Let's Shake Our Tail Feathers...

 

Hi everyone,

It's time for another challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog.  The theme is mardi gras or sparkles.

I have white embossed this image and then watercoloured with blues and greens, I did try embossing in gold to make it look more like peacock feathers but it wasn't a good look ha ha!  I hadded the sentiment and some sequins.

Merry Christmas...

 Hey folks,

It's time for the mid month inspiration post over on the Stamping Sensations Challenge Blog.  A reminder that the theme is anything goes with the option of using a die.

We have a fabulous sponsor this month...

Prize is a £25 prize package from Oakwood Archer

For my card I used the Concord & 9th turnaround snowflakes stamp which I white embossed. I then added some grey ink around the edges and added some glitter over the snowflakes.  I die cut the trees and layered them on top of the card although it's hard to see but depending on the brightness you have set you might be able to see it fine.

Happy rainbows...

Hi all,

Hope everyone is staying safe and crafting!

Well I was super excited to make this card, I ordered some new goodies as a wee treat to myself.  I do love rainbow stamps and dies...very pretty so I did find some inspiration on Pinterest for this. I die cut the rainbows and inked them up individually and then once dry I popped them back into the die cut rainbow. I stamped the black spots on top and the perfect sentiment, oh yes and the clouds were also die cut from the same set which I inked up a bit...finished with some gems and sequins.
