Happy Little Stampers Dec CAS Challenge

Hello everyone, it's time to start a new monthly challenge at Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge and this month it's Your Favourite Technique - create a CAS card using your own favourite technique.

Our fabulous sponsor is Happy Little Stampers and the winner will receive this stamp set.

My favourite technique is colouring. For my DT card, I've coloured the deer and trees using Chameleon pens and fussy cut, added die cut stars and a sentiment from the HLS Mixed Christmas sentiments set.

Thanking you for visiting my blog and we look forward to seeing your CAS creations using your favourite technique! xx

Flowers and sunshine

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

Inspired by the ColourQ colours and the theme at Less Is More - Hello Sunshine, I made my one layer card by inking the stamps with SU! markers and spritzing with water before stamping for a watercolour effect. It's a little bit unpredictable and you can get some interesting effects but be careful not to spray on too much water as it can make puddles on your card!

Not too much sunshine around today so photographing was a bit tricky. I used the flash but not convinced it's an OK photo.

Happy birthday, Sandie!

Hi everyone, today is Sandie's birthday and Kylie has organised a surprise linky party! Hope you have a wonderful and enjoyable day and a great weekend, Sandie!

To make my card, I inked the flowers and leaves with SU! markers, intensified the colours here and there with coloured pencils, added some white highlights and stamped the sentiment in black Archival. I took the photo quite early and the light wasn't great.

I'd like to enter my card in a few challenges:

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone, I've made a card today using the fun colours at Colour Me.

I brushed ink on using a cloud template for the bottom border, stamped the balloon and bird, coloured and cut out, and attached sun and clouds die-cuts.

Also linking up to Uniko Studios, where the theme is Things With Wings, and I've used a Uniko sentiment from the Simply Said Birthday set.

The theme at Seize the Birthday is Anything Goes with optional twist of Make Your Own Background.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely weekend! xx

A new bunny ...

Greetings dear friends, I hope you're having a good week and are well!

I've been having fun using these new little bunny stamps and here's a card made using Chameleon pens. The frame is a die-cut and I stamped the flowers and bunnies with black Memento, coloured them in and fussy cut. The image is from a set by Waltzingmouse which I felt went with the stamps. 

The challenge which is being hosted by the super-talented Loll at Addicted to CAS is CUTE and I think this fits the bill.

At Less Is More they would like to see a card made using a combination of three previous challenges and I've chosen Little Ones (31.1.15), More Than One Stamp (31.5.14) and Animal (16.8.14).

Blue poppies

  

Hi everyone, I hope you're well and had a good weekend!

I love making cards with flowers on them and poppies are one of my favourites. 

The stamp was inked with distress ink and spritzed with water before stamping and I moved some of the colour about with a wet brush.

Linking up to Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge - Watercolour, Uniko Studios - Love and Friendship and CAS-ology - NBUS (never before used poppy stamp set).  Also for Less Is More where this week's theme is Friends.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a great rest of the week! xx

Pink Roses

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a good weekend.

Just a quick post to show you a card I've made for The Card Concept (Freestyle Collage) (Happy 1st Anniversary), inspired by the flowers and colours. Also linking to Uniko Studios (Love and Friendship) and Happy Little Stampers (Sketch).

To make my card I started by brushing pale blue ink onto the bottom of a piece of card, stamped and heat embossed the roses with clear powder and coloured using distress inks and wet brush, added the diecut leaves and stamped the hearts and sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today, take care xx

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

For my DT card, I created the background by brushing on inks, the snowflakes are a white marker pen. The tree was stamped and heat embossed with sparkly embossing powder and the little birds were stamped with black Memento and coloured with Promarkers. The fence is a diecut with some glitter glue.
