Up Up and Away

Pin It

Sorry I have been MIA, I have a stall in the weekend so have been preparing for that.

This week's JAI #299 Inspiration.

As I really struggle with pinks, I turned to The Paper Player #283

So no farther ado here's my card.

 I have used Balloon Celebrations Stamp Setand matching Balloon Punch.

I spritzed Watermelon Wonder and Pear Pizzaz on to Shimmery Card Stock.

I mounted the balloon up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment and balloon inside to complete the card.

Go and check out both challenge sites, get inspired and create.
Knit World are doing another Mystery Baby Blanket but this time it is crocheting, so I have been working on week 2 square.

Know What I Love?

Pin It

I have made this card for a very special young lady.

 I have cased a card the Lyssa from Songs of My Heart Stampers Blog that she made last week.

Lyssa is a demo in the US go check her blog HERE.

I used the colours from Just Add Ink #297 - Colour Challenge.

 I used a SAB Stamp Set called What I Love, this didn't smoke my tyres at all.

I only got because I earned it free, but I loved what Lyssa did with it and the sentiments are lovely now that I have had a good look at it.

I stamped the leaves them used the 1 1/4' Circle Punch.

 I mounted the circles on a Stampin' Dimensionals.

I wanted a simply but elegant inside of the card.

Go and have a look at both sites.

Be inspired and play along.

World of Dreams

 Today I am combining two challenges.

Just Add Ink #296 - Just Add Nature and Global Design Project #021 / Colour Challenge.

I have used World of Dreams, which I purchased last year and hadn't inked it up.

I had seen the technique Clear Block Background with Markers on Julie Davison a US Demo Here.

It's very easy and made for a very quick and simply card to make so I made two with different card stock.

This Card Stock is the Shimmery card, the water pooled a bit on this card.

I love the effect that it created.

 This one is Whisper White Card Stock.

Every background you do with this technique will be different even if it is the same card.

The Whisper White card says Better Get Better from A Dozen Thoughts.

The Shimmery card says It's Your Day from Sunburst Sayings.

 You can buy Sunburst Sayings and Sunburst Thinlit Die in a bundle and save 15%.

I hope to get a chance to play with the die next week.

The inside of the both I stamped the leaves in the corner.

I added Happy Birthday to you in the middle of the birthday card from Sunburst Sayings.

I left the get well card blank.

Have you got something you purchased and haven't used?

Here's a challenge, I challenge you use that something in your next project.

Do pop over top both challenge sites and join in the fun.

Hello my Friend

Pin It

Here is another card I made when playing around with water colouring techniques.

I need to play some more as our ink is different what the you tube clip I watched, it wasn't meant to cover the whole front.

So worked with my aqua painters and spritzer to lift colour.

 I used the Hello Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set.

I embossed it onto Watercolour Card Stock then I did the watercolour effect.
Here's this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.
FMS#221

 I them Stamped a collage with Timeless Textures with Craft Whisper White Ink.

I finished it off with randomly scribbling over the front with Clear Wink Of Stella Pen and added some basic Pearls.

The colour combo is Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White and Basic Black.

Go have a look at Freshly made sketches and join in the fun.
Today is the last day of school holidays, Samuel and I took our lunch to the park.

 This a cool park about 20 minutes away from home.

He didn't want to go out but had fun once we were there.

 It's a glorious day today

This wharf is near the park, it is pretty munted since the earthquakes but is still safe to walk on.
Enjoy your day.

 Photo A Day Challenge

January 25th - Simple

Here is a CAS (clean and simple) card.

 I am enjoying using Moon Lake Stamp Set.

I stamped the tree and boat first them masked it, I made another mask using Apothecary Accents Framelits to mask the whole card, I sponged the sky and grass.

 Then I used Stampin' Write Markers to colour the stamp.

To finish the card I used my Paper Piercing Essentials to pierce around the masked area and Old Olive Candy Dots.
