Hello and welcome
Today I’m back for Watercooler Wednesday. It is with a heavy heart to say that this will be the last challenge from WCW. I have loved working with the wonderful Design Team members and seeing all the amazing creations they and you have created for each of our challenges. It is fitting that Heidi is hosting this Watercooler Wednesday Challenge: Celebrating the End!
My card features Newton’s Donut stamp set. This is one I loved straight away. My daughter has just had a sweet little kitten join their family, so this image combined 2 of her favourite things – the kitten and donuts!! A winner!!
After stamping, copic colouring (like her kitten) and fussy cutting, I added Glossy Accents over the icing.
Next I stamped Technuique Tuesday large letters and fussy cut them before running them through with SSS – Stitched Whirl Background die to add some interest. I added some inking to the edges.
The background was a pretty colour that worked with the donut, so for interest I stamped some of the sprinkles from the stamp set randomly once in Versamark ink and then in a Disteress ink. Sadly it didn’t photograph well and it’s difficult to see. (Especially when it is sized down to fit the blog post) It’s pretty IRL.
Lastly, I cut the MFT – birthday from a scrap of packaging I loved.
Then it was just a matter of putting it together. I placed the letters to look like the kitten had knocked them over as she swung in the donut!!
I hope it brought you a smile!!!
Don’t forget to head over to our blog to check out the wonderful inspiration from the rest of our Design Team for this last fortnight. We would like to thank all you for your continued support and wonderful creations you’ve posted over the years. Good luck and happy crafting!! I’m sure I’ll see many of you somewhere in blogland. 🙂
I look forward to seeing what you create for this our final challenge!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments.
Stay safe in these difficult times and have a good day
Cheers
Helen
