Stampin' Up! Awash with Flowers and I create a Just for You, all occasions card

Hi all! At the moment, I'm trying very hard to get used to this new blogger format, and it is very difficult! I'm not sure I like it, but it is change after all! I have crafted tonight, so I do have a card to show you, not just my ramblings :)

Ok, so fairly basic here... a Basic Grey 4.25" Square card which I have layered Rich Razzleberry onto. For the main image panel, I have randomly stamped images from Awash with Flowers in Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry with outlines in Basic Grey. I mounted the image panel on top of the Rich Razzleberry layer and then stamped a sentiment from The Best is Yet to Come (a retired hostess sentiment set) in Basic Grey, cut it out using my circle punch and layered it on an Old Olive Scallop Circle. I added a piece of retired Kiwi Kiss ribbon (I don't have any Olive ribbon!) to finish of this card. 

I am entering this into 2 challenges tonight, the first is The Paper Players colour challenge, which was surprisingly easy for me, usually I struggle a bit with purples :) The second challenge is the new challenge blog Freshly Made Sketches which has a sketch this week

As always, thanks for dropping in, it makes my day seeing all the lovely comments you guys leave me :)

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up!'s newest In Colour Island Indigo is Divine!

Hi Guys, I have had a really bad week mojo wise, nothing is appealing to me, at all! I think it is because I've not been feeling 100% and that I've been really busy... Tonight, I needed to get into the craft room and create, I was going stir crazy! Here is the fairly clean and simple card I came up with

The image is from The Greeting Farm, I've had this little guys head coloured in for a few days, just nowhere to put him.. I coloured him using my Stampin' Write Markers and a blender pen. I stamped his body onto a piece of white and also two patterned papers from My Minds Eye, cut them out, and layered them on to the stamped image. The sentiment is from Just Believe, and has also been stamped using my Stampin' Write Marker, I selectively coloured the For You, and left the Just off this one. I layered the image panel onto Crumbcake, and mounted it on dimensionals to an Island Indigo card base. I threaded some retired Kiwi Kiss ribbon underneath the image and tied a bow. 

I am entering this into three challenges, the first is a new one for me, the OWH Stars and Stamp Sketch challenge, which was surprisingly very similar to The Paper Players Sketch. I am also entering this into The Pink Elephant paper piecing challenge.

Thanks for dropping by, 

Don't forget, that the new catalogue is launched very soon (Thursday) so, pop back then and have a looksee!

Cards

Hi All! Hope you all had a fantastic Australia Day! I know I did, we had a few friends over for a barbecue... We had good intentions of sitting outside to eat, but it was just much too hot! It was still 36 degrees Celsius (about 97 in Fahrenheit) at 2am when I was trying to sleep.... thankfully not long after, a southerly change came through, cooling the place down a little...
Now, onto some cards!

The first I made a few days ago, but didn't get round to posting. It is for the ColourQ challenge, which this week was an interesting colour combo for me! You all know how much I love orange... or in this case 'peach'...

The second card was for a couple of challenges...

The first challenge was the Colour Throwdown, which was to use 

I don't have any thing with Kiwi Kiss, so I substituted with Pear Pizzazz. It's hard to tell in the photo, but the trees do actually have Old Olive leaves... I swear! The other challenge I'm entering this into is the Stamping Vacation White Space challenge... while my card has a lot of empty space.... it's not exactly white.... but before doing this card, I did double check the meaning of White Space, and this qualifies.... The other pre-requisite of this challenge was to use three of anything... and that is my 3 trees... 

I love the sentiment stamp, (it arrived in the mail today!) I don't have enough "just because" stamps.... So, this Basic Grey one was a welcome addition.... 

Thanks for checking in.... 

Go check out some challenges, and as always have fun!
