Hey Everyone

We have a new challenge for you to play along with over at Just Add Ink. This is our challenge is:

The two I’ve chpsen from the challenge is flowers and paper.

The flowers and bird image are from the Friendly Hello Stamp Set. The colours of the flowers were chosen to match the designer series paper I chose. This DSP is from the Friendly Hello DSP pack. Both of these products were available during the Sale-A-Bration period. I’ve added die cuts with the Tasteful Labels Dies. The circle die was crimped with my retired crimping tool.

Here’s my card:

The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful cards for this weeks challenge. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Freshly Made Sketches #528

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

Been ages since I’ve created for Freshly Made Sketches and I have to say I have missed it! I have been hanging to get back it in crafting and my fussy cutting. My fussy cutting skills got a work out with this card to test if I could still do it after my injury. Pleased to say I’m back on the scissors with a vengeance!

This week our sketch has been designed by the ultra talented Jacquie Southas!

The stamp I’ve used on my card is perfect for my scissor-work. This set is called Friendly Hello and has a wonderful mix of images to colour. I’ve given the bird some colour with my Pool Party and Bermuda Bay bends. The flowers I’ve added have been coloured with the Fresh Freesia and Smoky Slate Blends. The Smoky Slate was added around the centre of the flower to give it depth.

The leaves I’ve added were stamped in Bermuda Bay Ink. These leaves were fussy cut out and layered behind my bird image. I’ve also stamped up some little leaf-y stems in Gorgeous Grape Ink and fussy cut them out.

To add some interest to the background of the Thick Whisper White Cardstock, I shaded the cardstock with some Pool Party Ink and the ink splatters stamp from the Friendly Hello Stamp Set.

All of the images were layered on three strips of DSP and adhered to the cardstock base.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards with this sketch. Make sure you pop over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Global Design Project #334

Hey Everyone

It’s been ages since I’ve posted! I’ve been out of action due to an injury but am keen to get back in to crafting.

I decided to get back on the tools by joining in the latest challenge at Global Design Project Challenge. This week they have a sketch challenge. Sketch challenges are my favourite as they give me the perfect starting point to creating a card.

Here’s their fab sketch:

I had one of the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration stamp sets sitting on my desk called Friendly Hello. I’ve lightly coloured the bird and floral image with my Smoky Slate and Fresh Freesia Blends. I took a leaf diecut that was sitting on my desk and cut it in half and layered this under my image. The leaf was cut with the Tropical Layers Dies. My collage and image were layered directly on to designer series paper. Both pieces of designer series paper I’ve added to my card are from the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper pack.

The sentiment I’ve used on my card is also from the Friendly Hello Stamp Set. I hand cut this sentiment out and layered it over the images and diecut. After all of this was stuck down I decided to add some Silver Twine from the Simply Elegant Trim pack and also three Basic Rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by.
