The Greeting Farm For You and Jenny Bowlin Embellishments

Hi again! 2nd Post for today! Don't forget to either scroll down or click here to see my Feeling Sketchy DT Post. This card came together while I was sitting chatting to Annmaree tonight.

I started out with the For You stamp set, I used the little guy from this set not long ago, you may remember it from here.... I had her already coloured, paper pieced, glossy accented and stickled all up... I then built the card around her. I used an Early Espresso card base, layered up with patterned paper from My Minds Eye and Simple Stories, I stitched them together using my sewing machine and distressed the edge of the Gingham paper. I then added a vellum doily from Cheery Lynn Designs I then added a circle of white card stock, spritzed it with Perfect Pearls Mist  in Copper and sponged it the edges with River Rock ink. I then attached my Jenny Bowlin wooden flag and then added a bunch of dimensionals behind my little girl. Three silver rhinestones finish off the card.
I am entering this into three challenges, the first is the Splendid Stamping with The Greeting Farm stitching challenge, next up is the Anyone For Anya? Circles challenge and finally the Moxie Fab World Splatter technique challenge.

Thanks for popping back :)

Sweet Anya and I create a Mother's Day card

Hi! I stayed up late (ish) last night, talking with Annmaree (emu) and playing with paper... Perfect night really! Here is what I made -

I had the background paper out from another project, which I'd decided not to use, so I couldn't let it go astray. It is from the 6x6 paper pad Fabulous by Simple Stories, I've layered it onto some Crumbcake card and then set it aside to colour my little Anya. I stamped her on watercolour paper, using Staz On ink, and coloured her with my Stampin Write Markers, I also added a touch of shading to her skin using Tombow watercolour marker 990 (light sand.) I popped her to the side, and continued building my card. I cut out a doily from vellum using my Cheery Lynn French Doily Die, and glued it down to the patterned paper. I attached some hand dyed lace from D-Lish Scraps and added a button and a little bit of jute twine. I stamped the sentiment, from Stampin' Up!'s Friendly Phrases onto a piece of Confetti White card stock (sponged with River Rock ink) and attached it to a slightly bigger piece of Crumbcake before attaching it to the card base with small dimensionals. Lastly, my Anya, stuck down with higher dimensionals. 

I am entering this into three challenges - First is the Tuesday Morning Sketch which I have been meaning to get back and play with... Next up is the Ribbon Carousel "word to your mother" challenge for mother's day, and finally the Anyone for Anya? Lace challenge 

Thanks for popping by!

Sale-a-bration Stamp Set Punch Bunch, For You Card

Hi all,
Welcome back.... I have another card to show you, which is another Clean and Simple Card....

I was surprised after seeing the challenge colours from Just Add Ink this week, that I came up with two cards that I liked... It was a daunting colour challenge, using River Rock, Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler. 

I used the Sale-a-bration Stamp Set Punch Bunch for this card, I coloured the image with my Stampin' Write Markers (directly onto the stamp) then stamped it on some Whisper White before punching it with my circle punch and layering it on the scallop circle. In the centres on the poppies, I did coloured in some yellow, and then got a fine tipped black pen, and drew in some 'stamen' I also added some shadowing using the small end of my Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker. 

If you would like to get the Punch Bunch Stamp set for FREE, email me or give me a call on 0405 173 237 to find out how today!

Until next time, Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Vintage Vogue ad I create Just Because Cards

Hi There Again!
Sorry for the massive blog changes over the last few days. I wasn't happy with my original layout, so had to change it all! I have a card to share with you tonight... A very Clean and Simple Card!

The stamp set I used was one I got when I first joined Stampin' Up! It's called Vintage Vogue, and I've used two elements on this card that rarely get used... that pretty little flourish, and the big Friends sentiment. I used the challenge colours from Just Add Ink, which were River Rock (a totally underrated colour), Daffodil Delight, and Cherry Cobbler. The ribbon is non-SU! but, matches perfectly to Cherry Cobbler, and I picked up very cheap (10c a metre!) I really should get the rest of the roll next time I'm at the LSS... 

Thanks for looking, and come back later today for another card made using these colours... 

Happy Stamping!
