Big hugs

Big celebrations at Stamplorations as it is their 5th Birthday... wooohooo Congrats to Sheri and the team.
I was inspired to make this card by Vicki with her Birthday Wishes card (below) on day one ... to use my fab new dies... I cut my die in black and used a bright painted panel (from my experiment stash) to highlight it and then added my large die cut sentiment.  Thanks for visiting and join in the celebration

 

Happy Mother's Day

This lovely ANZAC Day afternoon I have a shaped card for The Flower Challenge #19, and I am also posting to Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes with Dies Challenge for April.  I folded my white card and the largest die from this set and cut the card through both layers.   Then I die cut the second largest die in green DP and then traced around the outside of the die on pink card and cut it out.  I stamped my floral image and used Distress Oxides to watercolour it and then roughly cut it out.  I stamped my sentiment on a different die cut and sponged the edge with pink ink.  Lastly put all the layers together and used foam tape on the image and sentiment.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day

 

Noel..

OOOH wow, a card without Ink - that doesn't happen very often for me because I'm a rubber stamper, but a couple weeks back I got this freebie die on a magazine.. so I had to try it out.... it's fiddly, changing colours and collecting all those little bits - happy that I used the double sided adhesive tape before I die cut...i used different types of shiny metallic card even for the card base. And so I have a Christmas card for this weeks Shopping Our Stash - SOS #347 - No Ink.
I am also playing along at Watercooler Wednesday WWC163 challenge- All About Christmas - Anything Goes and also to Rudolph Days challenge for March - Anything Goes.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your Easter

SOS #160: Can't Put It Down (or Away)

Hi and happy Tuesday... I'm waiting to go to the airport to pick up hubby, so of course I'm at my desk making cards.... Don't know where this card came from... last night I was thinking about making a scene with a stamped image in the forefront. Anyway my can't put down for Shoppping Your Stash #160 - is my distress inks and die cuts - they've both been coming out lots lately. But this card isn't actually made with distress inks - this morning I wanted to know if my dried up, faded old Adirondack Inks would work like DIs if you sprayed water on them... guess what they do.

I sponged ink over some water colour cardstock kinda like a garden off to one side, then just sprayed on water...whooppie my pads are not juicy enough to stamp with but they'll be getting used for backgrounds now. When it was dry I added some "flowers" - just dabbed the corner of a paper scrap in the ink and filled in the flat colour areas and some drag lines for stems. Stamped on a simple sentiment and finished off with a die cut flower spray that I cut and re-positioned to fit the space. That was fun... Thanks for taking a peek Robyn
