The Greeting Farm - Glimmer Bean

Hi All! It's time for me to play at The Stamp Spot Blog - So, here goes....

I started off this card knowing that I wanted to use this paper from Basic Grey, it's from the Lemonade Collection and is called Flower Garden. I sat and looked at the paper, and coloured my image to match, using my watercolour markers. I then fussy cut her out, and set her aside. I used some lace from the store, and layered it on to the patterned paper, then using two MFT Dienamics (Mini Rolled Roses, and Rolled Rose die) I cut out three roses, one from Pirouette A4 cardstock and two from some felt from my stash. I added a brad to the centre of the larger rose, which I had covered in embossing powder, and heat set. Then while it was still warm, I rolled it in glitter and heat set it again. I cut out a nestie label and doodled around the patterned paper, and label before attaching everything together and onto a cardbase. The sentiment is from My Favourite Things and was stamped in black ink to finish off this card. 

This card fits the requirements of the May challenge - why not play along?

Feeling Sketchy - Week 5 Scrapbook Sketch!

Hi Again, it's the last week of our first month over at Feeling Sketchy! Which means it's time for a scrapbook sketch.... We decided as we had a lot of feedback from our Facebook Page that it would be a good idea to include a scrap sketch once a month.... so, here it is -

The stars can be translated into any embellishments... here is my take -

I'd just like to point out, that no, that's not me... It's my older sister her son and her husband :) I used a fairly clean and simple colour scheme to go with the professional photos. I used one sheet of white cardstock, and a half sheet of brown, aqua and white patterned paper (for the life of me, I can't remember which company this is from) Anyone be able to help? I used a Chipboard tree, coated it in ink and then clear embossed over the top of it to make it stand out... I added some MFT Die Cut Clouds cut out of felt, and a tag which has my journalling and a little bit of twine tied in a bow. The title is from the Stampin' Up! Timeless Type Sizzlet and has been cut out of Chocolate Chip card and stuck down. I had a little chipboard birdy, painted him white and added him and a button to the tree to finish off this layout.

Gorjuss Little Foxes and I create a Birthday Card

Hi guys! So sorry for being a terrible blogger over the last week, I've not had ANY mojo at all, and haven't managed to get into the craft room because of it.... But, tonight after dinner, I sat down and created!

I started off stamping this Gorjuss Girl onto watercolour paper, and coloured her in with coloured pencils (plain Derwent pencils) and then with cotton buds and some Mineral Turpentine, I blended the colours. Here's a closeup -

Now, onto the rest of the card, it is a So Saffron card base, layered with Basic Gray, and Basic Black and another piece of So Saffron, cut with the Top Note Die. I layered some Twill ribbon on top (from the Ribbon Carousel) and then a piece of Whisper White with the sentiment (from Sale-a-bration set Elementary Elegance) in Basic Gray. The two buttons, are self cover buttons covered with gray felt and attached with my hot glue gun. 

I am entering this into three challenges, I took inspiration from The Play Date Cafe Colour challenge, also the layout inspiration is from CASE study challenge, and finally, the Felt challenge from the Ribbon Carousel Challenge.

Thanks for popping by, don't forget there is a 15% off sale on at my MadeIt Store, and Blog Candy up for grabs. Thanks for popping by, I'll hopefully get my mojo back soon!

Rachelle Anne Miller - Candy Time and I create a Just Because Card

Hi guys! Back again with another card I made up last night. I won a stamp from The Stamp Spot from last months challenge, and this was my first go at inking her up...

This is a Soft Suede card base, layered with White card stock and patterned paper from My Minds Eye. I have tied some pink ribbon and popped a bow on, as well as a sentiment from Hero Arts. I coloured Candy Time using my Stampin' Write Markers and Blender Pen. I then cut her out using my nestabilities (this is my favourite shape) and sponged around the edges. I added a rolled rose out of pink felt, and added some bling and buttons.

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches and then the colour/swirls challenge from the Ribbon Carousel.

Thanks for popping by. Full supply list as follows...
