TSOT #235

Hi! I'm flying past to post my card for this weeks Try Stampin' - Or Not- On Tuesday. We have a great sketch and this weeks theme is "School Days"

Loving the clean lines of this card :)

Here's the sketch:

We would love to see you play along with us!

Thanks for looking 

Thank You

Hi! If you follow me on instagram then you would have seen a sneak peek of this card.
This last week I've been playing around with my inks and watercolour paper and creating all sorts of gorgeous background papers.

With this card I decided to also use the bokeh technique. If you havent heard of it, try it! It is essentially taking a background and sponging circles in various shapes in white ink.

I have used melon mambo, bermuda bay, crushed curry inks to create my background and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up! Hostess stamp set 'Let your hair down.'

If you have any questions let me know and thanks for looking :)

Funky and Bright

G'day. I hope this finds you enjoying warmer weather (if you are in Australia :) Today I'm sharing a card which I made last year and still haven't shared it with you. I case'd it from this card, which I fell in love with.

I wanted to used bold, bright colours, so melon mambo, old olive and pumpkin pie were my msin colours, I then bordered them with soft suede and matted it all onto crumb cake. The ribbon and the pearls are from Kaiser Craft. The sentiment is from 'short and sweet' and the leaves are from 'funky four'. I love using stamps in a way I wouldn't think of using them. I cropped out the images with the oval punch and matted them onto the same coloured card stock cropped from the wide oval punch. When I was placing the image panels I accidently placed them onto the same colour background as I wanted to mix it up a bit, but I think this still works.

Just Us Girls #154 - Rainbows

Hi! I'm back with a card I made for this weeks challenge at Just Us Girls. The challenge is to use rainbow colours as your challenge. My DD is about to finish kindy this week and I wanted to make the teachers a card each. This is one that I came up with:

I used strips of polka dot dsp from stampin Ups brights collection to create my rainbow. I then cut out my 'thanks' sentiment with the timeless type alphabet, in white card and covered it with glossy accents for a bit of 'pop'. I've matted it all onto black card and the base is crumb cake. In real life this card it so vibrant and fun and I think perfect for a kindy teacher!

Here's the challenge:

Afternoon everyone! I just wanted to share a quick thank you card I made today. My inspiration comes from this card. Knowing that this card was going to my Mum, who loves soft pretty colours and the medallion stamp, it was a no brainer :)

This photo doesn't do the card justice!

I used my 'Kindness Matters' stamp set, which had yet to see ink, 'Fabulous Phrases' for the sentiment and of course the 'medallion' stamp. I clear embossed the medallion, because I dont have pink pirouette ink and the versa mark just didn't show up enough. My colours are very vanilla, pink pirouette, certainly celery and crumb cake. I love these soft colours and hope my Mum does as well!

Thanks for looking!

Just Add Ink 83 - Sketch Challenge

 Hi! Recently I made a heap of these flowers and I thought that I'd pull one out for the sketch challenge at Just Add Ink.

The flower is made from scrunching and layering different sized scalloped circles. I found this great idea for adding a bit of bling to a silver brad from Connie Collins. All I did was cover a silver brad with some rhinestones, for an instant wow factor. 

Heres the sketch we had to work with:

Thanks for looking!

Just Add Ink 77 - Sketch Challenge

What a busy week! I didnt think that I would have been able to get any creating done, but I did manage to make a card for this weeks challenge at Just Add Ink.

I did take some creative license with the middle square being bigger and turned into a diamond. I think if I did the card again I wouldn't have put the second smaller flower in, but it still works (I think).

Thanks for looking.
