Motorbike Birthday Card

Here's another card I made on Saturday, using the Motorcycle Stamp.

I stamped it in Stazon Black Ink onto Watercolour Paper, them I used Cherry Cobbler with a highlight of White Frost Shimmer Paint for the body of the bike and Platinum Shimmer Paints for the chrone with Aquapainters.
I'm going to enter this in JAI 72 Just Add Colouring In.

Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede and Whisper White Card Stock.

I'm loving my Tasteful Trims XL Die, I used it to make the large Scallops.

Here's the inside, I like to bring a element from the front to the inside.

Black and White

Are you a black and white person?

I think you are or you are not.

Well I'm not.

This week's challenge at JAI 71 is Black and White.

I have been thinking about since first seeing the challenge on Friday.

It inspired me to make a brooch in black and white.

 It is made using zips and button, I also added some Blossom Party flowers in black fabric and white lace.

Then after seeing this weeks 'Try Stampin' on Tuesdays'  Sketch Challenge # 19, I decided to make black and white card inspired by the brooch.

Here's the card.

 I needed an Engagement Card for Miss Carter (one of the teachers at Samuel's school).

Here's the flower I used that was inspired from the brooch.

I made my own ribbon and lace using the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die and Big Shot Mutlipurpose Adhesive Sheets, I stamped Baroque Motifs in Basic Black then added Frost White shimmer Paint.

I'm very pleased with it and it came together quite quickly in the end.

Circle Card for JAI 70

Here's this weeks JAI 70 Sketch Challenge.

When I saw this I knew straight away that I had to use my Scallop Circle Bigz Die, that I have had for a month or so and hadn't used yet.

Then I thought I must make a Scallop Circle Easel Card, that Bronwyn Eastley does so well.

 I didn't want to use colours I that I use a lot, so I went to the projects from Ustamp with Dawn and Friends Oh My Word projects and found this colour combo that Ilina Crouse used and challenged myself to used it.

 My Circle Scissors also got a good workout.

 I have used Shimmering Pastel Technique again, I'm loving this technique.

I also adding Dazzling Diamonds in the centre of the flowers.

Big Thank You!

At our Mini Convention last Saturday we had prize patrol.

Which was all made possible by Em sending us some AB FAB prizes.

I'm told when you go to convention there is different colours labels on your names, so we did the same.

I won a Basic Black Ink Pad, which will come in very handy.

Here is the Thank You Card I have made on behalf of the First Kiwi Stampers.

 It's my take on Alison's Make 'n' Take that she presented (in my last post).

 I have changed it to work with what I had on hand (as you do).

I have coloured my flower in Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Pastel then added Frost White Shimmer Paint.

White or Vanilla ribbon didn't look right, so I used my Spritzer Tool (yay I have found it) on White Taffeta Ribbon with Cherry Cobbler Marker.

Here's the inside.

I hope that hits the mark Team, I'm very pleased with it.

CASE

 Copy And Share Everything.

Here is a card I cased from Bev Watt, go check her blog she is a demo in Aussie.

 This was a Make 'n' Take at a recent workshop, I the ladies had a choice of making it a Christmas or Birthday Card.

With this card I added Shimmer paint directly to the stamp.

We used Marina Mist, it is one of the brand new colours in the 2010 - 2011 Idea Book and Catalogue, it is stunning teamed with Whisper White.

To finish the cards we popped a Pearl in the centre of the flowers.
