Christmas Joy

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good week!

My first card today is inspired by the theme at Merry Monday which is Pink, Green and White and also by Inkspirational - Anything Goes With Silver.

I die-cut my Christmas lights from silver foil card and inlaid with DSP, the Joy sentiment was die-cut from silver sparkle card.

Merry Christmas

Hi everyone, I hope you having a good week.

Just a quick post to show you a card I've made inspired by the sketch at Less Is More.

To make my card, the base was inked and dots of glue pen applied and heat embossed in white. Also used the same technique for the snow on the die cut branch and the owl was coloured with Chameleon pens and fussy cut.

Friends are flowers ...

Hello everyone, I hope you had a good weekend!

I've made this card using my multi-part Rubbernecker flower stamps. Firstly I cut a hexagon shape, stamped the flowers and sentiment using a mixture of TH distress and SU! markers, and added a frame. I was going to mount it all onto a square card but decided to keep it as is and made a shaped card instead.

Purple Roses

Hi everybody, happy Friday! A big hello and welcome to new blog member, Hazel.

When I saw that the theme at Inkspirational is Purple, I wanted to join in with a card made using the Painted Flowers set.

The stamps were inked with a variety of distress and SU! markers and black Memento, the sentiment stamped in grey, cut out and mounted on 3D foam along with two of the roses.

Black, White and Gold

Greetings and happy Monday!

My second card today is for Addicted to CAS where they would like to see black, white and gold.

Everything on the card is a die-cut apart from the birthday stamp and the gold dimensional paste in the centres of the flowers.

Zen tree

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good weekend!

I've had this rather nice zen tree stamp by Lavinia Stamps for about a year and it hasn't seen ink yet but when I saw the lovely photo inspiration at Inkspirational, I knew I wanted to use it to make a card for the challenge.

Here's how I made my card: cut some paper to use as masks to ink the hills, sky and sun, brush on inks, stamp the tree with black Archival, colour with Promarkers and white gel pen.

Addicted to Stamps and More #129 - CAS

It's time to start a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and this week's theme is ... Clean and Simple.

Our fabulous sponsor is Stamplorations and the winner's prize will be a $10 gift certificate!

My DT card was quite quick and simple to make using a punch and some dies.  The little tags were punched out of card in four different shades of red and the diecut letters and heart attached.  The "you" was diecut twice in red and white and the white laid over the red one.

Don't forget to pop over to the ATSM challenge blog to see the lovely inspiration that the other DT ladies have made and we look forward to seeing your fabulous creations and visiting you blogs.
