ATS Sketch Challenge #2

Hello everybody, its Sketch Challenge #2 this week over at Addicted To Stamps challenge blog.

I've tried to stick to the sketch but turned it on its side (or was it me looking at it the wrong way after I'd printed if off! LOL).

The stamped images are from the Birdie Blossom stamp set by Hunkydory. As the image is quite complex I tried to keep the background papers fairly simple, hope it works. Finished off with a touch of glitter glue, ribbon and Card Candi (Craftwork Cards) in the corners.

"All things grow with love"

Hi everyone, Addicted to Stamps have a new challenge blog and this is the card I've made for challenge #1 "Mark your mark" to make a card using markers.

The pink and silver pieces have been embossed using the Sizzix Embossing Boutique and the silver foiled diecut is a Stackable by Hunkydory.

The flower and butterfly stamps are also by Hunkydory and coloured with Promarkers and I have used a little flower from the set to make a background.

Word stamp by TPC.

Happy Birthday card 5

Here is a little card I made with a notelet and stackable message from Hunkydory, clear stamps from Floral Chic stamp set also by Hunkydory.

1. Colour tint the edges of the message and attach it to the notelet.

2. Stamp the butterfly and handbag with black Memento and paint using some dye ink and a waterbrush.

3. Attach butterfly and bag with Pinflair glue gel to add some dimension and highlight the flower with Glossy Accents.

Cottage Garden card 3

Above is a 70th birthday card which a friend asked me to make and I have used some card and toppers from the Cottage Garden set from Hunkydory:- half an A4 sheet of the lovely soft watercolour background card, a foiled topper which I layered onto a square of Adorable Scorable with some picket fence diecut along the bottom (the photo doesn't show the lovely gold foiling on the little fence) and a sentiment with a bow.

The set is good value as there are plenty of diecuts, toppers, sentiments and A4 card sheets.

Cottage garden cards 1 and 2

I've made a couple of cards with the new Cottage Garden Florals collection by Hunkydory.  The soft watercolours and delicate flittering are pretty!

TIP: Some of the diecut elements are delicate and quite a lot of care needs to be taken when "popping" them out.
