Anniversary Anthuriums

Hi!
I have a card today which I made with the Simon Says Stamp flickr challenge in mind.
the challenge is a colour challenge… Butter yellow, Blue sky, Rose pink and Lime green.
So here goes…

I first created a background using a Winnie and Walter stencil.  I stamped the image ( a really old wood block stamp) on watercolour paper and coloured it using Camel watercolours.

I then inked up my Happy stamp from Winnie and Walter with Tim Holtz's  worn lipstick marker, spritzed it with water and stamped it on the card stock to give it that water colour look.

I then added the other sentiments( from Winnie and Walter and and Hero Arts)  to finish the card.

I cut the panel using Simon Says Stamp's Stitched rectangles die in order to get the stitched effect at the top and bottom only.

Quite happy with the results!

Am linking this card to the 'Paper Players 'CAS Water colour' and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Clean and Simple"

thanks so much for stopping by…CAS

Have a great day!

A water colour card

Hi!

Today I have a card that I made using Art Impressions watercolour rubber stamps. and Watercolour and distress markers. tutorials can be found on the Art Impressions website.

I used Cotman watercolour paper to create the panel and a silky multicoloured ribbon to make it look pretty! The panel is cut using Spellbinders nestabilities dies

:-)

For the background, I used a Clear Scrap stencil with Memento Summer sky ink.

To Finish I added a sentiment from Hero Arts.

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Have a great evening!

Puzzle love

Good morning everyone!
Today I am playing the Addicted to CAS Codeword Die-Cuts Challenge.

I have had this Cuttlebug die for ever  but somehow never played with it!
Today's challenge has inspired me to take it out and play!

As you can see I used the Cuttlebug puzzle die to cut three different colours of card stock and then put it together with sentiments from Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn.

Thanks so very much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Vintage Love Birds

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday!

Today, I am here to showcase an awesome embellishment made by Khyati!

She has made them with  Craft moulds and Clay and I painted them over with some  pearlescent acrylic paint.

I also added some white dimensional faux enamel as an accent.

The sentiment is from Verses Rubber Stamps and is heat embossed in a matching metallic embossing powder from Stampendous.

Do look for more of these embellishments at the Craft Adda store!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great crafting day!

Two hearts

I just love the way this card turned out! the stamp is from 'la'boom', the hearts are  punched and the sentiment is from Kaiser craft.

Photocards

Here are four photocards I made a while ago...love the photographs and love the way they turned out. These went out for sale through a local high end florists' store. I wonder who bought them eventually!!

Stamps are from Hero Arts, Stampendous and some unbranded (from the days when I bought stamps before I knew what to do with them!!) Inks I have used are my favorite, Memento, and papers have been embossed with cutlebug folders and die cut with nestabilities.

Thanks for stopping by...

enjoy!

Green Anniversary

I really enjoyed making this card... the way the colours responded on the stamp was amazing! 

When something simple turns out so beautiful it makes me very happy!

The leaves stamp is from Hero Arts 'Delicate leaf clusters stamp set'. I used Memento dew drops 'pear tart' (my favourite colour) and 'cottage ivy' inks.

The anniversary sentiment is one I bought years ago in Bangkok...unfortunately it doesn't have a brand name. I cut it out with Spellbinders Nestabilities.

The wishes stamp is from Stampendous 'Cling Love Health friends'.

Thanks for stopping by...

Love to hear what you think...

Enjoy!
