Freshly Made Sketches #612

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

Welcome to my blog and welcome to the newest sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the uber talented Linda Callahan..

I really should be creating Christmas cards, but I will try and create some next time. Maybe… The card I designed features pansies in Coastal Cabana and Early Espresso Inks. These pansy images are from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set. An unusual combo? Yeah probably, but i was in the mood for this colour combo.

I’ve added texture to the background with an embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.

Diecut leaves and edgelit die from the Gorgeously Made Dies also feature on my card

The team have created awesome projects. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink #672

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

I have filled my card with pink and purple pansies. These pansy images are from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set. The leaves were cut with Basic White Cardstock and Textured Floral Dies. After choosing the colours for my pansies, I then chose the remainder of my card colours to match them.

I shaded the background behind the pansies with a Blending Brush and an mask from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks.

The sentiment I added is actually one solid sentiment, but I decided to trim it in half to and layer it in two places over the flowers.

I added some coloured Linen Thread and added a bow on the side of the card. I also had diecut book edge that I had sitting on my desk, so this was added to the card.

The team have created wonderful cards using this weeks sketch, so head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

I was able to play along with the latest colour challenge at Global Design Project today. This week their challenge colours are:

How pretty are they colours together?

My stamp set of choice was the Pansy Patch Stamp Set. My pansies have been stamped in a combination of all three colours for both the large and small pansies.

I added some die cuts that I had sitting on my desk from the Textured Floral Dies. I had them left over from other projects and I liked the Basic White Cardstock foliage behind the pansies.

The background was shaded with Azure Afternoon Ink, an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask and a Blending Brush.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #581

Hey everyone

There’s a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for you to play along with. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully talented Cecile Ribon.

I was going to find a heart die to create the same shape as the sketch, but instead reached for the Chic Dies and created a similar shape with Basic White Cardstock . For the background of the card, I took my Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and shaded the background with Coastal Cabana Ink. I then took my Dark Bermuda Bay Blend and flicked ink over the top.

The pansies i’ve added are from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set. I’ve stamped them up with a combination of Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody Inks. For the centre of the yellow flowers, I’ve added Highland Heather Ink highlights. For the purple flowers, I stamped them with a combination of Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape Inks. For the centre of these flowers, I added Mango Melody Ink highlights.

For the leaves in the background, I stamped up the fern fronds stamp from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set. These have been inked up with Coastal Cabana Ink.

The team have all created awesome cards with Cecile’s sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Paper Adventures Blog Hop – In the New

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

Welcome to my blog!

I’m a little bit excited that I was asked to be the Guest Designer at my crafty friend, Kelly Kent’s, team hop this month. The Paper Adventures Team are showcasing new products in their projects. Lucky there’s a new catalogue out and I have new Stampin’ Up! products on my desk.

If you know my cards, you will know that I love everything floral. The Pansy Patch Stamp Set was one that entered by shopping cart without a second thought.

I’ve kept my card pretty simple to let the pansies and sentiment be the main focus. The pansies have been stamped with three different stamps. The base stamp was stamped off once on scratch paper with Polished Pink Ink. I then changed stamps and stamped the second layer in full strength Polished Pink Ink. This gave the outside of the flower a darker colour.I then stamped the centre of the flower in Black Memento Ink.

The leaves were stamped with two stamps. The first layer was stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink and the more detailed stamp in Black Memento Ink. The leaves were then fussy cut out and layered under the flowers.

The strip of DSP I’ve added to my card is from the Hand-Penned Memories and More Pack. I added some Crumb Cake Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack and tied a bow. Three Silver Metallic Pearls finished off my card.

The next card maker on the hop is the very lovely and very creative Narelle Simm. I love it when I come across another Narelle, there’s not many of us out there! Click here or on the button below to check out her creativity and to continue along the hop.

Thanks for stopping.
