You make my heart smile

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the theme challenge at The Paper Players using Penny Black supplies.

To start, I inked up an image from the Bunches of Love stamp set (30-890) and coloured it using my Twinkling H2O paints before cutting it with the coordinating die set (51-726).

I then cut the heart frame using a die from the fabulous Lovely Borders die set (51-484) and adhered the panel to coloured cardstock. I then added my image and a sentiment from the Words Sweet stamp set (30-525) to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Love Day Heart

HI everyone!

Today’s card was made for the colour challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches – which has a very Valentines-inspired palette!

I used dies by Memory Box and Sugar Pea Designs and the focal point is actually cut from the centre of a Memory Box embossing folder. I added a sentiment by Savvy Stamps.

Winter birch

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge using Penny Black products.

First I stamped a tree from the Woodsy cling set (40-812), masked off the trunk and a strip towards the bottom of my card and blended some blue distress ink across the background and added a little green ink to the base. I removed the masks and used a watercolour pen to add some sparkle to the white section. Unfortunately, the sparkle didn’t photograph at all so I has to go back and add a little texture to the snow using a light grey coloured pencil. I added a sentiment from the When Snow Falls set (30-881) and lots of stickles to the tree – this card is very sparkly in real life!

I felt the card needed a little extra so I added a few birds from the Harmony With Nature die set (51-707) to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Balloon heart basket

Hello everyone!

Tday I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge using Penny Black products.

First I die cut a selection of hearts from the Heart Balloons die set (51-493) and coloured them using distress inks. I stamped the pot from the Timber & Tidings cling set (40-795) using Frayed Burlap distress oxide ink and fussy cut it. While it was drying, I sponged a soft background on my card base and then arranged all the balloons and twine. After adhering the pot, I added a sentiment from the Words Sweet stamp set (30-525) – it’s actually my favourite sentiment for Valentine’s cards!

Fabulous pastels

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge – it’s a fabulous combo this week – I love creating with pastels!

I coloured the wonderful Wildflower Botanicuts by the Greetery with some distress ink and added Paper Smooches vases which I cut from some patterned paper. The sentiment is by Karen Burniston.

Thanks for stopping by!

You have my heart

Hello again everyone!

Next up today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge using Penny Black products.

First I stamped a jug from the Garden Fresh stamp set (30-816) on some gold cardstock and set it aside to dry for a while before cutting it out with the coordinating die (51-703). Next, I die cut a panel using a die from the Graceful Stackers set (51-658) and splattered some gold paint across it, after masking a small section that I planned to use for my sentiment. I then cut images using the Ardor die (51-097) and one from the Garden Greens set (51-67652). I coloured Ardor with some distress ink, and masked each heart to create that inked point in the branch.

Finally, I added a sentiment from the Warm My Heart stamp set (30-895) and arranged all my die cuts on the card.

Thanks for stopping by!
