Oh Happy Day

Hi everyone, I hope all is well with you.

My card today is inspired by the beautiful photo and sketch at Fusion and I've taken inspiration from the flowers, colours and sketch.

The flowers were stamped with black Memento and coloured with Promakers.

Happy Happy Birthday

Hello everybody and happy Saturday!

This is my first card using spray inks. I cut the die cuts and sprayed with inks after masking off the centre of the panel.

Would like to enter in a few challenges:

Butterfly Challenge - Butterfly + F is for Flowers

Fusion - Bright Butterfly

Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge - Sprays/Mists

Cupcake 2

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good day and enjoying the sunshine!

I'm still loving using my cupcake stamps and here's another offering :)

I made the panel by brushing various colours of distress inks onto a piece of wet watercolour card, stamped the sentiment, stamped the various elements of the cupcake, coloured them in and fussy cut them out.

Linking up to Fusion (Cupcake Inspiration) and Happy Little Stampers sketch challenge.

 

Two little owls

Hello crafting friends. Happy Saturday, I hope you're having a nice day!

This is my entry for ColourQ #276, also linking up to Time Out where the theme is Valentine's Day with the optional twist of hearts and Fusion - Two Hearts.

To make my card, I brushed on ink over a cloud template, stamped and coloured the owls and fussy cut them, added diecut branch, sentiment and hearts.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog today. Have a lovely weekend xx

Merry Christmas snowflake

Hi everyone, I hope you're well. Greetings to my latest follower, Sid and thank you for your interest in my blog.

I've made this card for a few challenges. The diecut snowflakes cut from foiled card were mounted onto a stitched rectangle diecut, with heat embossed sentiment on the vellum strip. A bit tricky to photograph, here's a close-up.

Butterfly Challenge, Fusion and Inkspirational

Hi everyone, happy Friday! Hope you're well. I've made this card with inspiration from Fusion and Inkspirational.

The background was made with distress inks misted with water, ink splats and spot embossing, then the panel was split to make a space for the sentiment.

Also for Butterfly Challenges.

ATSM #87 - Make Your Mark

Hi everyone, and a big hello to new member, Natalie. I hope you're all well and have been enjoying the fine weather!

It's time to start a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and this week it's Make Your Mark - use pens, colour pencils, markers, paints and chalks on your project.

Our fabulous sponsor is STAMPlorations and we are very pleased to have as our guest designer the very creative and talented Anni. 

For my DT card, I've used SU! markers in three different ways.

2. Scribbled the pens onto a craft mat and picked up colour with aqua brush.
3. Coloured directly onto the diecuts and softened with aqua brush.

Don't forget to check out the inspiration at the ATSM challenge blog and we look forward to seeing your beautiful creations!

Addicted to Stamps and More #53

Hi everybody, and hello and welcome to new member, Maudieroff of Roffey Creations!

It's time for a new weekly challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More. This week it's a colour challenge and I'm sure you will agree, we have a lovely colour selection which can be used in so many ways.

Our fabulous sponsor is Melonheadz Illustrations who will be offering a prize to our Top Addict.

My DT card

I've used a little leafy stamp in green on the frame and a second stamping for the inner frame to achieve a softer, "faded" look. I had quite a few goes at this before I got it right and just when I felt I'd got it right, I put the stamp ink side down on it by mistake and had to do it again, quite a few diecuts going in the bin!

The flower was stamped twice, once pink on pink card and once pink on white for the centre. The leaf was stamped twice green ink on green card and cut out. All stamps from Folk Art set by Waltzingmouse. Am enjoying using this set as it's so versatile both for pattern-building and for individual elements. 

I've also taken inspiration from the Fusion sketch.

Don't forget to pop over to the ATSM challenge blog and check out all the fabulous colour inspiration from the other DT members.

Thanks so much for looking and we hope you've been inspired to join in the fun!

Fusion #10 and Clearly Besotted Stamps challenge #1

Hi everyone, and a big hello to new member, Maudieroff!

I've made this card for two challenges, firstly Fusion using the colours from the photo and layout from the sketch.

Also, for the first ever Clearly Besotted Stamps challenge - Anything goes as long as you use at least one Clearly Besotted product. I've used one of the dies from the Leafy Accents dies set and a sentiment from the It's Your Birthday stamp set. 

The flowers were made using a Memory Box cherry blossom die, colour washed with some TH distress inks and aqua brush. 

Not a brilliant photo, the light quality isn't very good today :(  The scoring on the bottom of the card is really hard to see, sorry. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Blue bird cage

Hi everyone, this card is for Fusion #5 using the photo inspiration.

Birdcage, bird and vine dies by Memory Box. The flowers were made using a daisy punch and white card with Daffodil Delight sponged on the edges and small flower punch with cream card. Yes, it's another attempt at making flowers (I can hear the groans in the background lol!), you never know, I might get the hang of it one day.

Also for ABC Challenges #27 Tic Tac Toe: punch-flowers-dry embossing

and Dynamic Duos #51 - Daffodil Delight and Baja Breeze (2nd entry).

Fusion Hypothesis 3

Wow, fabulous inspiration provided by the Fusion team this week!

I've taken inspiration mostly from the sketch and borrowed (sort of) of the colour from the photo inspiration.  The flourish is created by the negative space cut by a Marianne die.
