HAND STAMPED SENTIMENTS #CC410

Welcome to our Colour Challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week. I've done a centre fold card for a change using some old Stampin Up DSP I found in my stash which I thought was a great match for the colours.

The image for the front is a cute little mouse from Creative Expressions set called Missy Mouse which was coloured in with a watercolour brush and the colours of our challenge. 

I'm adding this into the following Challenges:

Try it on Tuesday - Oh So Sweet

Make My Monday - spring colours 

Use Your Stuff - Animals 

Stamping Sensations - with a tail 

Secret Stamper - fun fold 

TRY IT ON TUESDAY - GUEST DESIGNER

I was delighted to be asked to be a Guest Designer at Try It On Tuesday for this week's challenge of Winter Blues.  Personally I'm not feeling the January blues as I've just become a grandma for the second time - my darling daughter had a bouncing baby boy on Wednesday amidst all the snow we had in the UK.  His name is Rowan Luke and completes her family now with her daughter Hazel.  Considering my daughter, like me, was told she would not have any children she has done marvellously.  

Anyway on to my card.  I masked off a space on some cardstock and used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in Salty Ocean.  I spritzed it with some water to allow some of the white to show through.  I used the Poppy Seedheads stamp from Tracy Evans stamping it in Versafine Clair Medieval Blue.  I edged the card with some blue and layered it on to a white background.  The sentiments are from a Creative Expressions set Missy Mouse - I love that Oh Hi sentiment - I can see a lot of use for that.  I added some silver thread behind the Happy Birthday and popped it up on dimensionals.  A touch of sequins from my stash finished off the card.

HAND STAMPED SENTIMENTS -#cc405 HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to another year of fun with Hand Stamped Sentiments.  We hope you continue to be inspired by our challenge.  We have a colour challenge for you to start us off - and such spring like colours will really help us during the depths of winter.

I started off by using some Petal Pink ink and adding it to some white texture paste then I spread this through an old SU stencil to create the background.  My little mouse is a delightful little set called Missy Mouse from Creative Expressions which is one of the new stamps I received for Christmas.  I stamped her in Versafine Ink in Acorn and coloured her in with Mango Melody and Pool Party with a touch of the Petal Pink also. I added a touch of Nuovo drops to the insides of the flowers in Wedgewood Blue.  I layered it onto some Pool Party cardstock and added a little tag with an old SU brad.
