I was thrilled to be chosen as one of the winners over at CAS Colours and Sketches for my Butterfly Inlaid card - I do find CAS quite tricky as I love to pile stuff on my cards a la Tim Holtz but its nice to be challenged so its a great boost to have one of my cards chosen as a winner.
I'm entering again this week and my card is super simple. I used one of the Stitched Framelits to make a mask for my squares - and inked them up in So Safron and a touch of Crushed Curry by Stampin Up. I've used the butterfly from Kinda Eclectic - yes my favourite Go-To stamp set at the moment and kept it in the same ink colour of Crushed Curry. The sentiment is from Lotus Blossom and a touch of Dazzling Diamonds on the full butterfly in the middle finishes off this simple but effective card. I've layered it onto some Crushed Curry cardstock.
I'm also adding this one in to Addicted to Stamps #291 whose theme is Anything Goes
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment - I love to hear from you.
I am loving being on the Design Team for Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge blog - and what a fabulous inspirational photo we have for you today for our Inspirational Challenge #IC288
I chose to go with the robin - one of my favourite birds, and not only around at Christmas time but all year round. I have three very territorial robins in my garden - always flitting in and out of the apple trees.
I've used two sets here for my card - one is an old SU set Touch of Nature - the bird was stamped and then fussy cut out and the background is made from the leaf stamp from this set. The rest came from Colourful Seasons and the matching Seasonal Layers Thinlets. A touch of Copper Metallic Thread is added to the side of the card. The colours I've used are Melon Mambo, Pear Pizazz and an old SU colour Pretty in Pink.
Hello and welcome to another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge. I'm so excited to share this project with you as I'm actually giving you a little sneak peak of two of our new Christmas stamp sets. These two were my favourite out of the new catalogue which goes live on 1st September and, although they don't necessarily go together, they make a great match! All will be revealed on 1st September.
I've used some gorgeous Night of Navy as my background cardstock and all the elements have been embossed with Silver Embossing powder. I've used Whisper White cardstock and tore the edges to give the effect of a snowy background and just did a little light sponging around the edges at the top with the Night of Navy. The houses are stamped using Crumb Cake and I've coloured in some of the windows with a touch of Daffodil Delight to represent lights. The Trees are stamped with Pear Pizazz and the cute little smoke out of the chimenys is Basic Grey.
I hope you visit the rest of the Design Team and leave a comment - we love to hear from you all. I look forward to seeing all your lovely Christmas cards - its getting closer!!!!
I'm going to add my card into the Addicted To Stamps challenge which this week is Anything Goes and Inkspirational Challenge - which is asking for a wave. My torn paper looks like a snow wave! Is there such a thing?
