Just for You

For this months Power Poppy - Power and Spark challenge we are asked to make a small card....
My gift card is 3"x 3" (8cm x 8cm) and I've used up some leftover DP from my stash. First I stamped my PP Rose in Pickled Raspberry DOX and used the same to water colour the image and fussy cut it.  Then I cut my DP to suit my size and decided to leave the part cut circle and underlay it with a matching script DP.  To finish I stamped on my sentiment and mounted the image with foam tape. I did enjoy making a my mini card and think this should happen more often.  Thanks for taking a peek

OH there has been some dabbing and sponging and smooching at my desk - playing with layers of stencils - I don't seem to use them much but I'm always challenged to have a go at the CAS Mix Up challenges and this month the theme is 'layering stencils'. I used three stencils with Distress Oxides on my background, combined with a die cut swirl and layered flower and a stamped embossed sentiment.  Thanks for taking a peek

A sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesdays #338 and a colour theme from Colour Throwdown #460 for this card.  I thought to colour the tulips blue...but find it hard to be unrealistic in my colours - so I've attempted to  make white flowers... added just a touch of cream for shading and very pale blue background. Some die cut lace edge and navy ribbon and bow with a mini sentiment to finish. Thanks for taking a peek

Oooow I'm quite liking how this card turned out... Yesterday I uncovered a folder full on embossed panels and after using one a card yesterday decided that one might suit the sketch at Just Add Ink #365.  Addicted to CAS #114 was also calling me with the White on White theme. Thought the embossed panel looked better mounted on a layer, then added my decorative die cut label - used silver ink and pearl white EP on my sentiment.   A single die cut ring and a flower I put together with a die cut center and grouping of little white pearls.   Thanks for taking a peek

For my card today I'm using the layout at CAS(E) this Sketch #206 and I was inspired to include some music script stamping for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge CFC166 - Music to my ears.  Firstly I stamped my birds on a branch image and coloured them in, then using a mask I used an inked baby wipe to swipe blue across the bottom section...then I added some music script.  Finally I  mounted the panel to a white card and added a stamped sentiment.  Thanks for taking a peek

Today I am finishing off another card in progress - for Inspired by All the Little Things #2.

These summery colours of the inspiration photo suited this floral stamp from IBS - then a simple layering onto patterned paper and die cut to form a frame.
