AAA Cards (GD), Less Is More

I'm thrilled to be Guest Designer at AAA Cards for Game #100 and this fortnight we have a sketch to play with.  Here's what I made.

I stamped the flowers stamp in black Memento on water colour card and water coloured with Zig  pens.

Looking forward to seeing how you use the sketch!

I stencilled a little background for the leaves which were made with alcohol inks and my trusty stitched leaf dies. The sentiment is a new stamp.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog!

Happy Day!

This week I have played with the sketch at Less Is More and I was able to make a card along the lines of the one I was going to make for last week's "Take Flight" challenge ( ran out of time) but this week I am a bit ahead instead of being lastminutedotcom. 

Also was able to ink up my never used before balloon, banner and clouds set so I can also play along at Darnell's fabulous NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) challenge and at Seize The Birthday, where the toppings option is Balloons.

Also playing along at Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes.

Thanks for looking and have a good week.

ATSM, HLS Anything Goes with Dies, Less Is More, Seize The Birthday, Time Out

Hi everyone, the theme at Less Is More this week is "Take Flight" and here's what I made.

I die-cut the butterfly out of Yupo card and painted it with glass and prism effect paints, and glitter medium and heat embossed the sentiment in gold. The shine and sparkle of these paints is a little hard to see in a photo. It was interesting to watch how they run and blend together!

I wanted to do another card too for this challenge but I've run out of time again, grrrrr!

ATSM, Less Is More, Seize the Birthday, Watercooler Wednesday

I was inspired to make a few things using the colour inspiration at Less Is More which is Royal Blue and Lime Green (blue and green is one of my favourite colour combos along with pink and orange).

Here's how I made the alcohol inks panel:

1. Add a few drops of blending solution and four drops of blue ink to the top half of the Yupo paper and tilt the paper to move the ink around until you're happy with it and then let that dry.

2. Pour a line of the green ink across the middle and tilt the paper so it blends with the blue, add another couple of drops of the blue if needed and let the colours blend together.

3. Put a few drops of green ink across the bottom of the paper and again tilt it to distribute, add some little details and shading with a small brush.

Would like to play along in four challenges:

Less Is More - Royal Blue and Lime Green

Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes with optional topping of Blue. Green and/or Aqua
