Thinking About You

On my card today I have used the elements - Gelatos, masking and stamping.... for the CAS Mix Up May challenge.  I die cut a circle mask and blended two Gelato colours, then stamped my outline image in black over the top.  To finish I stamped on my sentiment, added a few matching sequins and mounted my front panel to a pink card.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day

Hello.....

 I've been playing around with my couple of Gelatos sticks that have sat in a drawer unused for quite some time but thankfully for this months CAS Mix Up challenge they're out and smudging colour everywhere. I've made a couple of easy cards.... simply blended two colours on a scrap of white card and used my 'hello' die.  I collected those little bits from the loops and after stamping on the rest of my sentiment, positioned them in a flourish with a mini black gem.  To finish I layered the front panel on a matching card frame, onto a white card.

I used Gelatos, stamping and die cuts as my elements. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day...

 

Merry Christmas

My Christmas card today is inspired by Kimberley's card (below) over at Muse: Christmas Vision #99 -  I've used her mono brown tones on cream card, her layout and the Santa image.  Over the years I've found this favourite old Santa stamp is best inked with a brayer to capture the fine lines so I used Adirondack dye ink in mushroom, then framed the image in darker brown onto a background panel in light brown  and a cream card. To finish I stamped the sentiment on a cream card strip in brown ink. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day

 

You brighten everyone's day..

For this ATC I have used a swirl stamp, inked and embossed in gold EP.  Then I've sprinkled on Brushos and spritzed with water - I moved some of the powder around with a wet brush and dabbed off the water before the colours got 'muddy'. When it was dry I cleaned up the golcud embossed areas and then stamped my sentiment in gold too on blue card, fussy cut it and then thought it looked lost so I framed it with white fussy cut card.  To finish I mounted it on the blue card. I am posting to Happy Little Stampers ATC May challenge - Gold theme.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend

 

Happy Mother's Day

Today I have a cute Mothers' Day card I thought the little grand daughters could give their mum next Sunday... I used lots of the elements from Lynne's card (below) from the Muse challenge #264 - I flipped her layout, used a square card, with a cute image and flowers.  I stamped and watercoloured my cute bear with his armful of flowers and added some tiny glitter dots. Then to finish added a bright pink layer onto my white card.  I am also playing along at Shopping Our Stash challenge SOS#352 Mother's Day.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day

Be happy, Be bright, Be you

I had some messy fun yesterday with shaving cream and Brushos and made a few backgrounds... so used one piece for my card today.  I stamped my PB Blush floral three times in Distress Oxides and the stems separately, and added some white gel pen to the centers.... the shaving cream and DO inks reacted a bit and the photo doesn't show the softer colours.  Then to finish I stamped my sentiment and attached it with foam tape to a layered strip.  I am playing along with Penny Black Saturday challenge - Anything Goes using the Option of Spring Flowers too. And also playing at Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Anything Goes.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend

Faith, Trust and Fairy Dust

Some playing around with flower stamps from different sets today combined with Distress Oxide ink... in Yellow, Pink and Green.  First I wet the water colour card with dilute salt solution and then added spots of pink DO... they spread in a flower shape (saw someone on YouTube doing this with acrylic paint - worked lots better, but I did get some effect). then while the card was still wet I stamped on various other flowers and some stems, I went over them with the same ink when the panel was dry and added black snowflake centers to the yellow ones and white gel pen the the pinks.   Earlier I had stamped my fairym, coloured and fussy cut her minus the wings and also stamped her wings on acetate and cut them out.. added Kindyglitz.  I positioned my fairy in her garden and stamped on my sentiments and some starry fairy dust.  I  am playing along with the colour palette at Rubber Dance April Colour challenge, Shopping Our Stash SOS#351- Mythical Magical theme, and also Southern Girls challenge - Triple 'F' Team Lou challenge; Fairies, Fantasy or Flowers.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend

I have a quick and easy card today.... although it did take me some searching for my Chevrons... didnt think I had any from memory but there were quite a few.  I selected this bright green DP and cut a couple of chevron rows to attach to my white card.  Then I stamped the sentiment on a white card strip to attach over the center.  I am playing along with Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge for April - Chevrons and also at Stamplorations April Theme - Focus on Sentiments.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day.
