Special Hugs

I stamped the image in grey ink and kept it in position in the Misti while I watercoloured the flowers in Distress Inks... then over stamped again in grey ink.... trimmed the panel using torn edge die and stamped the 'hugs' in grey and clear embossed... I attached the sparkly die cut 'Special' and arranged the panel on blue pp and a blue card.

I am playing along with Power Poppy Creative Confetti October challenge - Fall Away.... to colour a Fall image using non Autumn colours.   I had to google what type of flower are out in Autumn and so hope this bouquet is ok. Thanks for stopping by my blog   ----  have a Happy Day and stay safe.

Birthday Wishes

I have had loads of fun recently creating these pattered paper backgrounds - for this one I've used a largish flower stamp and single leaf, stamped randomly and heat embossed with white embossong powder....then added Distress Inks with a dry baby wipe and spritzed liberally with Pearl Ex (- added some Interference Gold to water in a spray bottle)  - the effect was to blend the DI and add a gorgeous shine to the whole surface.  Trimmed the panel and attached to a white with a stamped and white embossed sentiment on metallic red paper.

Sending a Smile your Way

Using the sketch as a guide I assembled some patterned paper with bright orange metallic card - with a strip of striped washi tape attached to the top.  Die cut an oval in matching green card and gold embossed the sentiment and finished with a floral spray - I silver embossed the stamped image and watercoloured with pencils and roughly cut the image... added some clear Nuvo Crystal Drops to the flower and a gem in the center.

Well I had planned to go for a walk but the wind has picked up and those dark clouds are rushing closer so I'll have a cuppa instead and post this card I finished off today.
I stamped a new floral stamp in grey ink and used watercolour pencils to colour the image, adding some more details with regular pencils and a few dots of white gel pen.  Trimmed the panel and framed it with two layers of coloured card to bring out the colours in the image and attached to a white card.  To finish I stamped and silver embossed a sentiment on vellum and attached a couple of gems to hide the vellum tape.

Happy Birthday

Well it's a happy Friday here at my desk, and thankfully we did get a small amount of rain last night, accompanied by sheet lightning and thunder and lots of wind today ... I know they've had rain in the southern states and only hope it has been some benefit to the areas with fires.

My photo today is of some beehive ginger that I have growing in the back garden

The card I'm sharing today is again from my friends collection - we had a session last Saturday and Vikki shared her Christmas present stamps... I'm loving this one as it has an Aussie theme.

I stamped the image in grey ink and used pencils to colour the image.... I added some clear Dimensional Magic to the gumnuts.  Then in my stash I had this die cut border, so I trimmed the panel to fit inside it and then attached these to a coral coloured square card.  To finish I added a stamped sentiment, on a die cut banner and mounted with foam tape..

Happy Birthday

Today I've used the layout for the Power Poppy Creative Confetti challenge - Sketch it out!  for my card.  I stamped the floral bouquet in light brown ink and used coloured pencils to colour it... then die cut it with a circle die finishing off the overlap fussing cutting with scissors. I found some patterned paper to use for the layout and used a grey card to pull those colours together.  To finish I added a stamped sentiment strip and attached the image panel with foam sheet.
I am also playing along with the Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring challenge - Day 6   ...  AND ... Just Add Ink  #481 - photo inspiration.
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it, happy colouring


 
   

Have a Sunshine Day

Today I used a silhouette leaf stamp and cut a circle mask to create a window on the panel to accommodate the sentiment..  I use Distress Oxide inks in orange, yellow, green and purple randomly stamped round the circle... and a few extras that I fussy cut.. Then stamped and gold embossed the sentiment and drew around the circle edge and gold embossed that and a few lines on the edges of leaves.

Merry Christmas

I first made my background panel using Distress Oxides and cling wrap technique, then used the same colours to watercolour my image which I stamped in grey ink.  I fussy cut it out and used foam sheet to mount it to the trimmed panel on a square card.  To finish I die cut the sentiment in silver metallic card and added a second white layer to lift it from the background and then a few shiny silver gems.  Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - happy card making
