Bright Hearts

 

Happy Saturday!

I’m really enjoying Online Card Classes’ ‘Shimmer and Sparkle’ class and today I’ve been playing with Nuvo Embellishment Mousse. I made a lot of different backgrounds by sponging the mousse onto cardstock. I also blended a few colours to make my own bespoke mousse!

For today’s card. I cut a Simon Says Stamp die from the various background panels and inserted the coloured hearts into the die cut outline that I’d cut from some black glitzy paper. I flicked some watered-down embellishment mousse onto the card base and added a sentiment from Hero Arts.

I’m entering this into the current AAA Cards challenge (bright and beautiful) and also the SSS Flickr challenge (favourite technique – inlaid die cutting!).

Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats, Grad

Happy Friday! I have to say I think I love today’s lesson in the Online Card Classes Sparkle and Shine workshop the best so far!

And I love my Nuvo glitter paste which I bought ages ago but only jut tried today! I used it with a stencil made from a Lawn Fawn die to create a special frame on this card.

All stamps are by Hero Arts.

I’m entering this card into the current Casology challenge (commencement) and also the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge (Frame it).

Miss You

Hi there!

For today’s card I chose an older stamp from Penny Black together with an Altenew sentiment. I coloured the image stamp with distress markers and then spritzed it with a little water before stamping on to watercolour paper.

This was a super fast card to make, although I couldn’t resist adding a few sequins to this one as well!

I’m entering this into the current Case This Sketch challenge.

You make the world better

Hi everyone!

The theme for the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is ‘a hint of pink’ and I used one of my older Hero Arts stamps with one of my newest ones!

I stamped this in Antique Linen distress ink, as I was practicing my no-lines colouring, but the ink was a little more intense than I had wanted.

After yesterday, I resisted the urge to glitter everything but I couldn’t quite stay away from my Pretty Pink Posh sequins!

Thanks for stopping by!

Glitter, glitter everywhere!

Hi everyone!

I’m loving the latest class from Online Card Classes – Sparkle and Shine! The first class was all about glitter and I chose to create a card using the glitter die cut inlay technique from Jennifer Mcguire.

I chose a large Memory Box die and added smaller dies from Savvy Stamps and Poppystamps before applying TONS of glitter!

I’m entering this into the current Merry Monday Challenge (non-black silhouette).

Thanks for stopping by!

Love and Thanks

Hello there!

I decided to try out the plastic bag watercolour technique that Kristina Werner taught us at Simon Says Create last month. So much fun… I may have gone overboard with the sequins?!! The stamps and dies are by My Favorite Things and I’m entering this into the current MFT sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!
