Favourite colours

It's time for our July challenge over at

Tag-along (and ATCs).

Brenda has given us the theme of

favourite colours or you can work with

anything goes.

I usually love to work with pink and black

so that's what I went with today.

For the background I started with some distress oxide

in pink then I stencilled over that using

Simon Hurley Stella Paste in black.

That stuff is lethal and so runny!

The stencil is an old one from SU.

I then stamped the flowers on

white card in pink ink then cut them

out. The stamp set is called

Flourishing Phrases (SU).

I coloured the inner flower in black

then added to the card chopping off the access.

I finished with some pearlised enamel dots in white

and I outlined the flowers in black

to make them pop more.

The sticker sentiments were added

along with some pink and black ribbon.

*********************************

As I was already in a mess I used the same

products for my ATC.

I used the pink oxide for the background,

stamped some text using Gorgeous Made stamp set (SU)

then stencilled with the stella paste here and there.

I stamped another flower using

Flourishing Phrases and finished as above.

I added some white pearlised enamel dots

and finished with a sticker sentiment

and edged it all in black.

I hope you get a chance to join us this month.

Things with wings

I sharing another tag and ATC for our midway challenge over at

Tag-along (and ATC's)

where the option theme is things with wings.

For my tag base I started by covering it

in cosmic shimmer in candy pink.

I then used a stencil and some gesso

to add texture here and there.

When it was dry I stamped some text using

a stamp set called Gorgeously Made (SU).

Then I stamped some flowers from a set

called Flourishing Phrases and cut them out.

I inked up the background in various colours

of distress ink then spritzed with water and

removed some again.

The flowers were cut to fit the tag

and some pearls added to the centres.

Next came the dragonfly which was stamped, punched,

coloured and layered up.

The set is from SU called Dragonfly Garden.

I added some sentiments from an old Hunkydory book

and some sequins here and there.

It was finished with a piece of seam binding

which I coloured to match.

I definitely embraced the journey here lol

but totally enjoyed getting messy.

I would like to enter my tag into

Creative Artiste - anything mixed media

Creative Friday - stencil

Moving Along with the Times - butterfly or dragonfly

Aud Sentiments - tag and/or thank you + sentiment

Make My Monday - stencil

HQFSCAT - shaped card or tag

************************************

For my ATC I used some scrap paper cut to the size.

I stamped tree branch, leaves and music notes

directly onto my base. Then I stamped and punched

the bird, layering it up, and added to my branch.

The stamp set used is called Sweet Songbirds (SU).

The wording was cut from a free craft paper set from

years ago, which I coloured to match the bird.

I finally ran the ATC through my sewing machine

for the stitching.

Forever Fern Sympathy Card

This is another one of the Sympathy cards following

the same sketch from Friday's post.

This time I have used the

Forever Fern Bundle along with

Gorgeous Grape card and ink pad

and Mint Macaron ink pad.

I used my score board to create the border

and the sentiment, from a retired set, has been stamped

onto one of the Rectangle Stitched dies.

I have followed the design inside too.

Sympathy Card 2

Happy Monday!

My card today is the second of my Sympathy card video series.

This is another take on the basic sketch I followed on Friday.

This time I have inked up a strip of stripes using

powder pink ink and a handmade template.

The flowers are from Floral Essence stamp set

which is actually well reduced in the sale

and the main colour of the card is

cherry cobbler card and ink.

I followed the design through to the inside.
