Sunny Challenges #64

Hi! Just about to do the school pick up, but thought I'd quickly share this with you. This week at Sunny Challenges they want us to use triple stamping. This is a technique thats been on my 'to do' list for ages. Here's my creation:

And the challenge:

For You Case

I was blog surfing a while ago and found this beauty! Jennifer has actually made this into a mini scrapbook, but I loved the front and had to case it!

I've used baja breeze for my base, chocolate chip and very vanilla. The DSP is from retired elegant soirée and the stamps are from retired stamp sets 'Sweet Summer' and 'Vintage Labels'. Every thing is stamped in chocolate chip and the sentiment is punched out with the word window punch and mounted onto dimensionals. I used some Kaiser Craft vanilla ribbon to create my bow. I love the cuteness (is that a proper word??) of this card.

Thanks for looking :) 

JAI 96 - Jut Add Tania!

I'm pretty stoked that I've found time to once again join in on this weeks Just Add Ink challenge. And what a great one it is... Just add Tania Gould. I have been following Tania's blog for a while and I think all her creations are stunning. I knew I had seen a few of her cards show casing the beautiful "Elements of style" stamp set so headed straight there.

You can find the card which inspired me here. I did change a few things, but kept the overall feel very much the same. I used old olive as my base and very vanilla for my stamped panel. I used crumb cake stamped off a few times for my background stamping and coloured my flowers in rose red and so saffron  with my blender pen. The 'happy birthday' is from "vintage labels" and stamped in soft suede. I'm pretty sure my card is smaller than Tania's as I didn't have as much room for a sentiment. I distressed my edges with my scissors and added some cream twine. I was also inspired to make the inside pretty, as I never seem to normally and I think it completes the look.
So after all of that I hope you can pop past Just Add Ink and join in and thanks to Tania for all the beautiful inspiration!
