Pink poppies

Hello! Happy Monday!!! 

It has been a busy week and weekend, but I am back at my desk all fired up to make this a productive week!!

 Today I have a card for you...this Sympathy card went out a while ago on behalf of Jane Beljo of Jane's Doodles as she lost her stepbrother tragically.

For the background here, I used the Hero Arts Design block 'dots and flowers' stamp. the gorgeous poppy is from Penny Black's 'Flowers and Wishes stamp set and the sentiment is from Verses Rubber stamps.

Inks are are from Memento and the background is embossed with Cuttlebug.

I tried something new this time...I coloured in the flower  using my distress inks as water coulours and then stamped over it again in oder to get the details.

Effective don't you think?

Vellum flowers

Hi eveyone!

Here is my submission for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge.

I cut the vellum flowers using my Cuttlebug die and for the background I used the Impression Obsession Striped background cling stamp  and heat embossed in white.

The sentiment is an outline sticker from Anita's and the little dragonfly charm is something a bought on a trip to Bangkok (at Chatuchak market where you can buy these charms by weight!!).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a nice day!

Sewn Butterfly

I pulled out my trusty old sewing machine yesterday, after years!

It took me a while to get to know it again. ;-)

Here's a project I made using sewing for the first time!

This is my submission today for the Runway Inspired Lela Rose challenge.
I am also submiting ot for the Stamptv Mix it Up Monday challenge.

Dies used here are from Spellbinders, Sentiment (heat embossed with Mac&Cheese Yellow from American Crafts) from Hero Arts, and embossing folders are from Cuttlebug.

Fun Isn't it!!

Silver fireworks

Hey All!
I have another card today which I made using my Martha Stewart cityscape punch. I also used some awesome paper from Penny Black, which, incidentally was a freebee from Addicted to Rubber Stamps when I ordered some stamps from them last year!!

I think the colour combinations are striking!

The fireworks stamp is a cling stamp from Stampendous (using it for the first time since I bought it years ago!!!), which I heat embossed with Detail Silver embossing powder from American Crafts.

The sentiment, which is also heat embossed with detail silver, is from Hero Arts.

Makes a fabulous Silver wedding anniversary card, don't you think?!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good night!

Washi Cityscape

Hello everyone!

I have a card today for the Friday mashup 'Washi Tape challenge and the Cas(E) This Sketch challenge.

To make this card, I applied two strips of bubbles Washi Tape to a sheet of paper.

I then punched out the cityscape using Martha Stewart's cityscape punch.

To make sure I would be able to adhere the cityscape to the cardstock properly, I used the Xyron 250 to make into a sticker. 

The cityscape was then adhered to white cardstock, cut to size and framed with another piece of white cardstock.

Once the sentiment from Hero Arts added the panel was popped onto the card using 3D foam tape.

Quite effective, don't you think?!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Enjoy your day!

Thank you Scooter

A quick card before I go to bed!

The stamps I used here are from the Paper smooches 'Spiffy Scooters' Stamp set, Hero Arts 'All Occassion Messages' and Stampendous 'Poppy bottles'.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a good night!!
