Here’s to YOU!

Hello and welcome

I had lots of fun creating this fun celebration card featuring Newton’s Nook – Cocktail Mixer stamp set. I am playing along with Newton’s Nook Inky Paws colour challenge using pink, orange, green and yellow!

After stamping the drinks and Distress watercolouring them, they were masked ready for ink blending the circles.

Next was stamping the sentiments using Brilliance – Lightning Black ink for some added shine.

More shine came from Wink of Stella, Gelly Roll pen and some coloured gems.

Such a bright happy card for lots of occasions!

Happy Saturday everyone. It’s time for a new challenge over at LIM. The challenge is to create using the theme: Use a Tag.

My card uses some fun sets from Newton’s Nook – ‘Newton’s Donut’ and ‘Cat Treats’.

The sentiments and small images were stamped on a strip of white card and watercoloured before being added to the side of the card front.

The large donut image was stamped on the tag, watercoloured and the icing covered with Glossy Accents to add some fun!! The birthday sentiment is from the ‘Cocktail Mixer’ set. The edges had distress ink added as well as a scrap of hot pink ribbon for the bow. It was added to the front with raised tape.

Lace Cover Die (HLS – Dies)

Hello and welcome

We’re back with a new challenge over at Happy Little Stampers –  Anything Goes with Dies – May .   As always, anything goes in this challenge. So, I hope you’ll find time in  your busy life to join in the fun this month!

My card features Altnew – Doodled Lace Die cut from kraft cardstock. This was one of my first Cover Dies I ever bought as I just loved as it’s so different with it’s obvious floral lacy design.

The panel was coloured using Prismacolor pencils before being added to black card front.

I have always loved this pretty die and at the end I had a time deciding whether to use back or white for the background.

I decided not to add a sentiment but wait to see how I wanted to use it.

Time to head over to our blog to check out the great work by the rest of the Design Team!

I look forward to seeing what you create this month!
