Mid way double!

It's time for my midway post for our theme of

nature - flowers/birds/animals or anything goes at

STAMPING SENSATIONS!

Remember we have a great prize up for grabs so be sure and join us!

For my card I used a rectangle mask from Lisa Horton Crafts

and inside the rectangle I added some green, yellow

and orange inks, blended together.

I then stamped the flower and sentiment from a Hero Arts

set called Things we Love.

The flower has been coloured with markers.

I added some little dots and splodges using a set called

Hello Ladybug (SU).

I am so sharing my mid way post for

WE LOVE STAMPING

where the theme is favourite stamps + add lace or ribbon.

The prize up for grabs is this!!

So please come and join us!

For my card I have gone with an Easter theme

using a cute little family of ducks from a

stamp set called Fable Friends (SU).

Definitely a firm favourite with me!

I cut some gingham paper to fit my card along with

some white ribbon, and ran

it through my sewing machine.

I die cut a rectangle in white and added some

grass using a small stamp and some green markers.

I then stamped and coloured my ducks with markers

and cut them out by hand.

When I had added them to my card front

I stamped the sentiment and used my oval punch

to layer it up and stuck in place.

I am sharing a little tag I made for a new baby.

I have used a border punch for the lacy top and bottom

and the bunny and wording is from a stamp

set called Easter Bunny (SU).

The background papers are also from SU.

I coloured up the bunny with markers

and added some ribbon and bakers twine.

As we are a Tag and ATC challenge I went

using Fable Friends stamp set (SU).

The background has been made using my inks and a

cloud stencil.

The bunny has been coloured up using markers.

I grabbed a tree stamp from Happy Hedgehogs (SU)

and stamped it around the top of the ATC

and coloured it up with markers.

The sentiment was stamped in memento.

ATC for Spring

As some of you know Tag Tuesday has now closed.

We are all very sad about it but with the owner of the blog

missing in action it just seemed like it was time to go.

I loved making tags and will miss that so I went hunting

for a replacement and decided to make an ATC instead.

They are great for trying out different techniques on

a smaller scale and can be slipped into books,

photo albums, journals etc if you don't want to swap them.

So the theme for this challenge was Spring so

I used my Daffodil Daydream stamp set(SU) to

create my ATC.

The flowers and leaves have been stamped and coloured.

The background was coloured using my blending brush

and I then stamped some little dots like Spring rain.

I added the sentiment from Fable Friends stamp set (SU),

punched using my oval punch and some faux stitching was added.

I finished with a stamped butterfly from same set.

Everything has been coloured using my markers.

Spring Tag

 

It's the second week of Michele's challenge theme

flowers or plants

over at Tag Tuesday.

This week I have gone with a spring theme

with a plant pot and basket of flowers.

I have used Basket of Blooms,

Fable Friends and Love you to Pieces stamp sets.

They have been coloured up using blends

and the ink pads used  are polished pink, bumblebee,

old olive and granny apple green.

I added some designer paper to the base

and finished with a bit of old olive and gold ribbon.

Easter Egg Cards

I made these cards for my Grandkids

for Easter.

I decided going with an oval shape would look cute

and with them all being boys

I went with green and blue colours.

I cut one oval in Bermuda bay and one in granny apple green.

The curvy die was used to cut the top and bottom

off both ovals and then I just swapped

them about and and stuck on to my base card

which I had cut with the same oval.

I stamped and coloured the little rabbit in

matching colours and the sentiment

was stamped in bermuda bay ink and

punched out using the Oval Occasions dies.

For this card I have used

Oh so Ombre papers retired

Oval Layering Dies

Curvy Dies

Fable Friends Stamp set retired

Crumb cake and Bermuda Bay blends

Bermuda Bay ink pad

Oval Occasions punch
