Say it with flowers...

 

Morning folks,

Hopefully the sun is shining wen this cards posts.

It's time for a new challenge over on the Less is More Challenge Blog.

For my card I stamped the image with archival ink and coloured with watercolours and added a few splodges.

Happy Birthday...

 

Morning folks,

I finally got the chance to use this fabby stencil, I love giraffes.

The lovely Brenda asked me if I would like to be the guest designer over on the Allsorts Challenge Blog, which of course is no trouble!

For my card I use a couple of different colours of distress ink and blended them together.  I added my usual wee splodges as the card looked a bit bare without them ha ha! I managed not to add any sequins on this one too. Added the sentiment to finish.

I just miss you...

Morning folks,

It's time for the mid month reminder over on the Stamping Sensations Challenge Blog.

The theme is anything goes, with the option of using a stencil, and we have two prizes, mixed media bundle from Oakwood Direct and two stencils

For my card I stamped the flowers with memento ink, I added some light shading around the edges.  I then used the matching stencils to colour the flowers and leaves...of course I had to add some splashes, dots and sequins to finish off, although this isn't my normal go to colours, I am pleased with how it turned out.

Another thistle...

 Hi folks,

Just back from a wee holiday up north, we had a fab relaxed time and actually managed to see dolphins in the Moray Firth.  Been catching up with the housework but needed to get a card made too.

As you know I love this stamp set from Stampin Up, and I was on a roll after my last make ( I had a wee production line going).  This time I stamped the image twice in black archival ink and then added some soft watercolouring to the images an around.  I added a wee bit extra detail to the thistles.  I added some splashes and sequins to finish.

challenges:

We Love Stamping - anything goes (option of in the garden)

Allsorts - anything goes (option to embellish)

Happy Little Stampers - watercolour challenge

Happy Birthday...

Howdy folks,

It's time for a new challenge over on the  Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.  The theme this fortnight is something masculine, remember the main focus should be stamped.

I made this card for my son's birthday at the end of April, jeezo he is 31!! I stamped the balloons in 3 different colours and overlapped them a bit, I added the strings and the sentiment, I finished with some splashes.  I couldn't add any sparkle to this one since it's for a man.
