Blue, rust and brown bouquet

 

Happy Saturday  everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a fabulous combo of blue, rust and brown. It’s all change at my favourite colour challenge this week as the team welcome the talented Kelly! The team is always pretty stable but somehow I missed the farewell to Barbara, I loved her amazing takes on the colours. Many congrats Kelly on joining the amazing DT!

Last week I received and played with the amazing Spring Meadow stencil set by The Greetery. I enjoyed playing with it so much, I was determined to play with it again, although I surprised myself by reaching for it again so soon! I thought it might work well with this combo? What do you think? I used three shades of blue and added rust/brown to the flower centres, although I did use black for the darkest flowers.

The background embossing folder is by Spellbinders and the sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

Thanks for stopping by!

Great Day Bouquet

Happy Friyay everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge using some products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

When I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to use one of my favourite background dies – the Geometric Circles die (51-644) with a jar of flowers from the new Charisma stamp set (30-969)*. I started by colouring the stamped image with my Twinking H2O paints and used the colours as inspiration for a distress ink background. I trimmed down the panel, adhered the background die cut and added some Stickles.

While that was drying, I set up my card base and used the Textural die (51-729)* for the background strip in the sketch. After assembling all the die cut elements, I added a little flower from the Swinging die set (51-618) to the jar and a sentiment from the Snippets stamp set (30-283).

Winged Wreath

Hello again  everyone!

My last card for today is another one I made for my lovely mum using Penny Black products.

When I saw the latest release, the Winged Wreath cling stamp (40-886) took my breath away. Isn’t it a beautiful stamp – so delicate and eye-catching!

I coloured it with my Twinkling H2O paints, and added LOTS of glitter and a few die cut butterflies from the Flourish and Butterflies set (51-198) and the Soaring set* (51-731).

The sentiment is  from the Without Limits mini stamp set* (30-949).

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother’s Day 2023!

Hi everyone!

Next up is one of the cards I gave to my lovely mum today!

I used the amazing Spring Meadow stencil set and matching die by The Greetery for this card. I have to say the stencil set works perfectly and meant this was a very quick and easy make! I’m looking forward to using this with different colour combos!

Enchantment

Happy Saturday  everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

When I saw the combo, I decided to step outside my comfort zone, pull out my watercolour paints and ink up the beautiful new cling stamp called Enchantment (40-885). I have to confess, I get a little nervous water colouring such a large stamp but I really enjoyed the process – the stamp was much easier to colour than I was expecting! While it was drying, I smooshed some brown distress ink onto a cream card base. I then fussy cut the image (which was also pretty easy) and adhered it to my card base with a few sticky fixers.

The sentiment is  from the Without Limits mini stamp set (30-949).
