LIFE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL....ON YOU

I know... I've used Beautiful You again, but I have used a few other stamp sets to make this card.  

An unusual shaped card for me this time but that's just how it evolved.

Can I let you into a little secret as to how it became square - I actually used the reverse side of my pack of Serene Scenery DSP.  Its white and shiny and deserves to be used rather than thrown away - how's that for getting the most out of your products!  It has produced a lovely shimmery look to the card but does need a little bit longer to dry.

I've also added the dots from Painter's Palette and the reeds from Wetlands and the little Butterfly stamp with some Basic Pearls.  I had some of the cardstock left which I had inked so I used this to punch out the butterfly and edged it with Chocolate Chip.

I used Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz for the inked background - rubbing the inks over the cardstock with an ink dauber.

The image of the girl was inked in Crushed Curry and just left without extra colouring.


 Craft Stamper challenge for January is Anything Goes so I'm going to add this into their challenge.

TUESDAY'S CHALLENGE - BEAUTIFUL YOU, PAINTER'S PALETTE

Every Tuesday we have a live video call with our Team Leader to discuss goals, topics, Toot Toots (what we've all done well in for the week) and other general SU stuff. 

This week though we were set a challenge to pull out two random colours from our inks, without looking, and make a card.  The colours I pulled out were Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie.  Funny that they should both have been 'P's because I am a slightly disorganised crafter and they are not in any way ordered alphabetically or in colour sections.

I went with the Beautiful You and Painter's Palette combination of stamps cause I'm loving playing with this set.  I also used the DSP stack papers too.  The banner came from the Banner Framelits and a touch of watercolouring and the use of the Stitched Framelits and this was a really quick card to do.

I actually loved this combination of colours.

I challenge you to do the same and do pop by and let me know what colours you got and a link so I can come and see.




 

THREE STAMP SETS - FEELING BLUE?

 I didn't think I'd have time for any more crafting before I go away on holiday but I managed to sneak one in this evening.  I don't often do blue cards but found myself drawn to all these different blues this evening.  My card is inspired by the sketch on As You See It challenge. Click on their sketch to be taken to their challenge.





I've used three stamp sets for this card.  The stripes are from the Playful Backgrounds set.  I love this set - its so versatile.  They have been stamped in Soft Sky and I used Wink of Stella over the top to make them sparkle a bit.   The dots are from Painter's Palette and the sentiment is from Picture Perfect.  I've used some of our Designer Series Paper in Subtles for the background paper and the flower which is from the Botanical Builder framelits.  One of our enamel shapes in the middle finishes the flower.  I quite like the soft colours in this card - I may find I use blue more often.

 I think you can just about see the Wink of Stella sparkle.  I think my WOS may be on its way out.  I read a great tip from someone that, once its empty, fill it with water and you can still use it!

 Happy Crafting

Thanks for stopping by and do leave a comment - I love to read what you think.
