Watercolour masking

Hiya! Quick post from me as I have a poorly little lady with me :-( Here's a card I started a few weeks ago and have only just got around to finishing. It's using this tutorial from Kristina Werner using masking fluid to draw a circle, then splotch in Distress Inks and water so they blend together. Then, once everything was dry and I had rubbed away the masking fluid, I used the same colours of ink and flicked little splatters over the top along with water and some white misting ink. Once that was dry I stamped and embossed what I think is my fave sentiment stamp ever, over the top, and matted everything to a purple card base.

I'm going to enter this into these challenges; Addicted to CAS Distress, AAA Challenges Watercolour Rain, Viginia's View Embossing and Sieze the Birthday Anything goes option. I hope you like it, thanks for looking!

Supplies;

Ink - Distress Inks 'Seedless Preserves', 'Chipped Sapphire' & 'Peacock Feathers'

Sentiment - Mama Elephant 'Make a Wish'

Other - white embossing powder, watercolour masking fluid & Studio Calico white spray mist

Cardstock - Stampin' Up 'Blackberry Bliss'

 

SSS February 2015 card kit #1

Hi! I've been umming and ahhing about signing up for the monthly Simon Says Stamp card kits for ages - over a year! And I've finally done it, yay! :-) it's gorgeous and today's card is my first one using it. I've stuck mostly to the supplies; patterned papers, rub ons and the sentiment stamp, then I added in a PTI die cut which I stacked up on black card for dimension, some sparkly gems and silver stitching.
I'm entering it into this weeks AAA Cards challenge 'Love', Fusion Challenge photo (I used the love theme with metallic elements) and the Friday Mash Up challenge, I've gone with the 'Love theme' option.

I hope you like it, thanks for looking! Hopefully I'll get a chance to play with the kit more later :-)

Supplies;

Papers, Rub Ons & sentiment - Simon Says Stamp 'February 2015 Card Kit'

Die - Papertrey Ink 'Monthly Moments - February'

Other - adhesive clear gems & silver thread

Making Spirits Bright

Hi! I'm back with this simple card, I'm not too sure about it but thought I'd share it anyway. I wanted to use up some patterned papers so I used this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch. Instead of a flower I used this little penguin, he's actually part of a little group of penguins but I masked around him to make him star of the show :-) I'm entering this into this weeks Simon Says Stamp challenge of Christmas (I'm over the moon - I won the last challenge and now have some spends for their lovely shop!! So exciting! Hee hee!) Also, it's for this weeks Merry Monday challenge of A Bird and the AAA Cards challenge of Blue Christmas. Thanks for looking, I hope you like it!

Supplies;
Paper - Echo Park Winter Wishes
Stamps - Stampavie Penguin Pile & Simon Says Stamp Lots of Stars
Cardstock - Stampin' Up Night of Navy
Sentiment - Paper Smooches Joyful Greetings
Other - white embossing powder, Copics & Silver Stickles

Snowflake card

Hi! Me again! I'm here with a Christmas card today to add to my woefully small stash of them, best get cracking! I've used some gorgeous glittery paper and gems from the Winter Woodland collection available at Buttons for Brains. I almost didn't use this paper as I like it so much - only a sentence that would make sense to a crafter! ;-)
I've used the new MFT sketch along with this weeks Merry Monday challenge of Spots and/or stripes, and also the current AAA Cards supply list challenge of vellum, glitter, a stamp, a holiday and kraft. I stamped these gorgeous MFT snowflakes onto vellum with glittery powder to give them a floaty look, it's hard to photo but really pretty in real life. I also used the same embossing powder for the sentiment and the spotty vellum panel under it. I hope you like it, thanks for looking :-)

Supplies;
Paper - Dovecraft 'Winter Woodland'
Stamps - My Favourite Things 'Snowflake Splendor' & Mama Elephant 'Basic Borders'
Dies - My Favourite Things 'Snowflake Splendor'
Sentiment - My Favourite Things 'Stitched Stockings'
Cardstock - Neenah 'Desert Storm'
Other - clear gems & Wow! embossing powder 'Sparkling Snow'

Birthday present card

Hello! I hope you're Sunday is a good one :-) I'm back to share this bright and colourful card. I really wanted to have a good ol' play with some patterned papers so I picked a paper stack and a sketch and made this! The sketch is this weeks My Favourite Things one and I used the presents from the Sweet Birthday Wishes MFT stamp set to do some paper piecing. I added a vellum layer to help simplify things as the papers are pretty busy. I'm also going to enter this into this weeks Simon Says Stamp challenge of Tags, AAA Cards theme of Fussy Cutting, and the current Seize the Birthday, the no toppings Anything Goes theme! Thanks for looking, hope you like it!
