Thank you Bella

Hi everyone!

The theme for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is ‘Going Dotty’ and I immediately thought of some circle dies from SSS that I haven’t used for AGES. I used stamps from Stamping Bella which I coloured using Twinkling H2Os.

I finished off the card by adding a few enamel dots in the frame – I used some actate behind the frame where it comes off the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Gilded leaves

 

Hi Everyone!

Jennifer McGuire shared some techniques for using gilding flakes in this week’s Shimmer and Sparkle class. I had never tried them before, but got my hands on them in record time (thanks Sir Stampalot!) and had such fun playing with them! They may be making a frequent appearance in my future cards!

Anyway, for this card, I used a die from Simon Says Stamp, which I coated in double sided tape and then added the flakes. The sentiment is an older stamp from Hero Arts.

I’m entering this into the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge and also the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (favourite technique).

Thanks for looking!

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).

Thanks for stopping by!

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.
