Twofer Cards featuring Sunshine

Just in time to play along the June Twofer Card Challenge #39 - Sunshine - 

I have used a little cloudy sun stamp from Sheena's Sea View Collection

For my first card I stamped the sun on a white card panel and also the yacht from the same set, then masked and watercoloured the sea and sky line with Distress Inks and then the yacht and sun.  It was a bit bare so I stamped the island palm trees .  To finish, stamped the sentiment and framed the panel with navy blue edge on a white card.

My second card was a totally scene creation to go with my die cut bicycle from my stash.... used the sun stamp and masked off the sun and stamped the clouds again and  watercolourws the sky.  I used a texture stamp for the ground and watercoloured it too.  Then stamped on the trees and grass.  I computer generated the sentiment and attached the panel to a light brown card with darker brown border.

Thanks for visiting,   have a Wonderful Creative day,   cheers

Have a Great Day

A slight change in temperature here today, dull skies, no rain, much cooler and with a very strong wind and I'm feeling in a totally lazy mood. So I finished off this card with a simple stamped DI watercoloured flower in one corner, a red frame around the panel, finished with a mini stamped sentiment mounted with foam tape.   I am playing along with AAA Cards CAS #143 challenge - One Corner with optional twist - flowers and also with STAMPlorations CAS Card June challenge - Anything Goes and I'm playinng the optional colour twist - Mahogany (Dark Red).
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - happy card making

 

Two cards featuring Wheels

Today I have two cards for this months Twofer Card Challenge #16 - Things with Wheels.  I have used a bicycle die set for my cards... 

The first card I simply die cut the bicycle parts in purple, black and silver card and then from DI smooched leftovers cut flowers and leaves.   I found this sponged and leaf stenciled experiment piece in my stash for the background panel and arranged the die cuts, then stamped on my sentiment... 'enjoy the journey', smell the flowers, take your time.

Then for my second card I thought to use the die cut wheels as lollies... so die cut them from my scraps of shiny metallic card in all colours. I stamped my jar on the front panel in green and clear embossed it, cut out the inside section, and line it with cellophane, then stamped on my sentiment.  I used foam sheet to lift the panel and attached my sweets to the card.

Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it, happy 'twofer' card making.

Enjoy the Little Things

We've had a couple days of sunshine, so got caught up with the washing BUT the rain is back and there's a cyclone some distance north of us that has been downgraded but we will feel it's presence with more rain and wind... never mind, I'm inside making cards.. couldn't be happier.
I used the colours at Just Add Ink #438 - pink, green and my colour choice - yellow and then the layout from Freshly Made Sketches #367.  Stamped and watercoloured my floral image with markers scribbled on the plastic sheet and picked up with a damp brush. Used a stitched die to cut round the image and layered this onto a green DP... I liked the wording on this piece so chose my sentiment to suit - stamped and die cut with a stitched circle and mounted with foam tape.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your Christmas and New Year.

A nice stamping session with my friend today - a bit of play time before we batten down the hatches as Cyclone Debbie approaches (due Mon/Tues), not nice.  Back to card  making and here I have a card for the Shopping Our Stash - SOS#295  challenge - Forrest Friends.  I created the background with Distress Inked scrunched plastic wrap and some sponging to thicken the grass.  Then I stamped on the bear and blossom branch and coloured the images.  Finally I stamped the sentiment and layered the top panel on pink card.  Thanks for taking a peek
