Wishing you a Special Day

With some time up my sleeve now to finish and post a few card.... this pretty floral I stamped in grey ink and coloured with watercolur pencils.  I die cut a window in a card front and positioned the image in the top corner after I stamped a silver embossed my sentiment.  To finish the card I added a die cut acetate butterfly from a pack I won ...it's gorgeous and shiny and just the right matching colors.  I am playing along with Watercooler Wednesday WWC237 - Michelle's Feminine "Anything Goes" challenge  ....   and Addicted to Stamps and More #357 challenge - Make Your Mark.  Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - happy stamping

 

Happy Birthday

Layered Stamping and Heat Embossing is the technique this month at CAS Mix Up .... and I was happy to find this two piece floral stamp so I could play along.  I first stamped the solid flower in light pink and used White Pearl EP, next I over stamped with outline stamp in rose red and Clear embossed it - so I have a really soft flower, I did the same with the leaves in two shades of green and then fussy cut them both. I found this stitched die cut frame in my stash and decided to die cut an underlay in a random spot background die so the pink card would show through - then attached these elements with foam tape.  I silver embossed my sentiment and attached that with tape too.

Happy Birthday

Trying to stir up my mojo today...so I've finished off this birthday card - the floral has been stamped and watercoloured for a few weeks and I wasn't sure of the colours but have teamed it up with a golden yellow background, trimmed the image with the stitched rectangle die and to finish stamped and heat embossed the sentiment.  I am playing along with Happy Little Stampers Watercolour April challenge - Anything Goes option Bright colours, and Simon Says Wednesday challenge - No Designer Paper.  Also with Seize the Birthday challenge #163 - Anything Goes.   Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - happy stamping

  

Happy Birthday

It's been a while since I used DP on my cards, so today I have this lovely mauve gingham to use as a backdrop for my image and sentiment.  I stamped the flower and used pencils to colour it, then wide fussy cut it out.  I die cut my happy birthday in white and pinks/purple card and layered them.  Finally to finish I die cut a stitched frame and arranged the elements, using foam tape on the flower.  I am playing along with Double "D" challenge - Gingham.  Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - happy stamping

A busy socializing weekend so I've finished off a few project today - here I have a card for Watercooler Wednesday WWC199 challenge - Tristan's Feminine "Anything Goes"... a nice easy card also using the layout at CAS(E) this Sketch #300.  A white card featuring an embossed background and using a lovely strip of pink DP for display my die cut sentiment, and to finish a die cut flower and pearl. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day

 

Happy Birthday

After I stamped this floral image I thought I'd like to use soft colours so chose my pencils to colour it. Then to keep it a CAS card simply stamped the sentiment and embossed with silver EP and layered the panel to a white card.  I am playing along with Watercooler Wednesday challenge WWC19 - Heidi''s "All About Occasions"   and also with Stamplorations CAS Card November challenge - Anything Goes.  And also with Stamplorations Never Ending Anything Goes challenge.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day.

Happy Wishes

For my tulip scene card I have used the lovely colours at Power Poppy's Hues to Use this week.  I did a fair bit of masking and stamping and water coloured my flowers with a mix of left over inks on my plastic palette. Then sponged in some sky and stamped some background bushes and a tree branch.  I framed it up and added a raised stamped sentiment.

Hummingbird card

Last week I just felt like doing some water colouring and not a Christmas card... so I found this stamped and embossed image in my old stash and used Distress Oxides to paint it.  I just used a lovely matching designer paper and a layer of blue card to frame it.  I like the pretty soft colours and have left off a sentiment so it can be used for any occasion.  I am posting to Watercooler Wednesdays challenge WWC14 - Feminine Anything Goes.  Thanks for taking a peek
