Wishing you both the best!

Hi everyone,

Did a little watercolouring on this card with  my some Zigs for Kathy Racoosin's here Day 10 of

Here's my card using Altenew's Peony Bouquet stamp set and 2 colours of Zigs.

I die cut the word Wishing with gold shiny cardstock and stamped the rest of the words with SSS ink.

I still need to work on my watercolouring techniques but all in all I am pretty happy at the result of this card.

Thanks for stopping by,

Hi everyone,

The card below is for Day 5 of Kathy Raccoosin's 30 day colouring challenge here.

I used a SSS stencil with 3 different colours of Distress Oxide inks and some Tim Holtz Distress Grit-Paste to create my pretty background. The paste gives an almost velvety effect to the touch. 

Used a stitched rectangle die to edge the piece and then used another stitched edge die to cut out the shape at the bottom.

Layered the coloured/embossed panel onto a piece of black cardstock and die cut the thanks from white cardstock. Adhered that at the bottom and added a few enamel dots.

Well that's it for this card and thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:

SSS Stitched Rectangle die set

SSS Swirls and Dots stencil

MFT Dienamics Stitched Basic Edges die set

Avery Elle Sentimental die set

Tim Holtz Distress Grit-Paste

Distress Oxide inks - Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade

Freckled Fawn enamel dots

Hi everyone,

Happy Labour Day if you are lucky enough to be enjoying one.

I have a card for Day 2 of Kathy Racoosin's 30 day colouring challenge here.

I used a Hero Arts large background stamp for the base of my card. First I stamped the background with Versamark and heat embossed with SSS white embossing powder and coloured it in using some different Zig markers. I die cut the whole panel with a large stitched rectangle die and then used another die to cut out a portion of the middle.

I used the large Hug die and cut it out in black and also white cardstock and added some clear Wink of Stella to the black piece for a little sparkle. Glued the two pieces together but slightly offset them.

Layered the panel up with some foam tape and did the same with the large word die cut. Added the whole panel and Hugs die cut to a Neenah desert storm card base and ran a strip of gold glitter tape behind for a little accent.

That's it for my card and thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:

SSS Large Hugs die
SSS Stitched Rectangle die set
Hero Arts Simple Leaf Background
MFT Dienamics Vertical Stitched strips die set
Altenew Halftone Smile stamp set

Hi everyone,

Today's card is for the current SSSflickrchallenge where the theme is Dots &/or Stripes. I chose to
add a little of both on my card.

I started by creating my background using 3 different colours of Distress inks and a SSS stencil.

Once I had blended the colours I decided to use 2 sizes of SSS stitched rectangle dies to create the frame for my sentiment. I can keep the middle leftover piece for another project.

I stamped the Concord & 9th bold sentiment (which I just love) with black ink and added a little accent to the panel from the same stamp set.

Added a couple of splatters and layered the frame against some polka dot patterned paper onto my card base.

There you have it. That's my card.

Thanks for stopping by,

Hello friend

Hi everyone,

I guess I am just enjoying this summer a little too much as I don't seem to be in the frame of mind for too much cardmaking. Like to be outdoors a lot :)
Well I did get a chance to use my new Distress Oxide inks to create this card though.

I started by stamping the flower image and embossing with white embossing powder. I then blended 3 different ink colours onto the flower. When I was happy with the colour blending I added some water splatters.

I then die cut the whole panel using a Wonky stitched rectangle die.

Next I moved onto to creating the sentiment with a SSS hello die using black cardstock and die cut another out of black foam and adhered the two together. Stamped friend on black cardstock and embossed in white.

Added the whole panel to a black panel and then adhered to my card base. I then added some Nuvo crystal drops for a little accent and that's my card for today.

#Friends #Selfie shaker card

Hi everyone,

Well it's another hot, humid beautiful day here after quite a thunderstorm last night. The air conditioning is off, the windows are open and the wonderful summer breeze is blowing through the house quite freely. Love it!

Today's card I am sharing is for the Simon Says Stamp 'Splatter It' challenge here.

I used a couple of fairly new Lawn Fawn stamp and die sets and some distress ink to create my shaker card.

I created the frame using the SSS stitched rectangle die set to frame my selfie photo. Used some plaid paper to die cut the selfie frame.
The background piece was done blending some distress inks together.
Stamped the elephant and mouse and coloured with Copics.

Arranged the frame pieces, added some tiny glass beads and then added the frame with some foam tape to create the shaker. Before that I added some splatter with teal spray.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share some of my recent Lawn Fawn creations here.

Thanks for stopping,

Aloha!

Hi everyone,

Well it's been a while since my last post. Have been working on the kitchen, had a mini vacation and just enjoying the summer although the weather has not been very nice at all. As a matter of fact there is a lovely thunder shower going on right now. The tile guy is in the kitchen installing the backsplash (which is the final touch in my complete new kitchen) so hubby has gone to pick up some lunch.

In the meantime I have a card to share using some new Lawn Fawn products.

Watercolured the background piece in 2 different colours and added some Pearl shimmer. I then used an embossing folder to add a little texture. I think it looks like waves.

Die cut the Aloha 3 times and the palm tree top and layered the whole panel on to some patterned paper.

Added some finishing touches with Nuvo accents.

Hi everyone,

Today's card was created using a SSS stencil for the background and 2 different Altenew stamp and die sets.

I started by creating my background using the Diagonal stripe stencil from Simon Says Stamp and 2 different distress inks.
I taped the stencil to my work surface and applied one colour first then turned the stencil once and created the other colour of stripes going in the opposite direction. Die cut the whole panel with a wonky rectangle die.

Stamped and die cut the leafs with different green inks. Stamped and die cut the flower and coloured with Copics. I then added some little white dots to the flower with a gel pen.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut. Added some green accents with Nuvo crystal drops to my card and Wink of Stella to the flower.

Well that's it for today.

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card for the current SSS challenge to add a Bit of Sparkle here.

I used a Tim Holtz stencil and blended the background using 2 distress inks overlapping the colours and then die cut the panel using a stitched rectangle die. For my sentiment I used some double sided tape and added some copper glitter to that and rubbed it in with my fingers. I used a SSS die to cut out the sentiment and added it to my card. Added some Nuvo crystal drops and popped up the whole panel with some foam tape and added that to an orange piece of cardstock.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by,
