Flower Fairy

I am breaking away from chocolate egg eating to post this fairy card! I'm certainly getting into colouring at the moment and I really love this fairy digi from A Day for Daisies. I coloured her with Pro-markers and added some Cosmic Shimmer to her wings. For the stamped background I used SU's retired Secret Garden and I've used Petite Petals for some extra blossoms.

I would like to enter my card in Incy Wincy Designs Challenge - flowers and lace

Bunny Love

How cute is this bunny? He is a digi from A Day for Daisies. I love him! I've coloured him with pencils and stuck him on some pieces of Stacked With Love dsp. The cardstock is Crisp Cantaloupe, a retiring colour I will be sad to see leave. I used the Scallop tag topper punch and added some Baker's Twine. The cute sentiment is from Good Greetings. April x

Embossing Folder Technique

This is my entry for The Friday Mashup. This week you can use a 'stamping with embossing folder' technique which I loved! For this card, I inked my Stampin' Up Chevron embossing folder with Sahara Sand and Crisp Cantaloupe inkpads. Then I added a few random blobs with a Pistachio Pudding re-inker. I misted all the inkiness with water and then placed a piece of watercolour paper on top. I love the effects you can achieve with this technique.

I then added flowers from the Petal Potpourri stamp set that had been stamped in Sahara Sand. I've added a few In-Colour sequins and two rhinestones coloured with Crumb Cake Blendabilities. Hope you like it! April x

Autumn Colours

This is my entry for the SUO Challenge 106 Autumn Colours. I have used the Four Feathers stamp set with Petite Petals and a mixture of Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Crisp Cantaloupe and gold foil. All blinged up with a few In-Colour sequins. Great fun to make, and as the mild temperature is predicted to drop by six degrees tomorrow, I am definitely getting in the mood for Autumn card-making.

A Colour Challenge

 

This is my entry for this week's Nacho Average Challenge #106 which is a colour challenge using Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe and Daffodil Delight - a very yummy combo of colours that I would never have put together in a hundred years!

I have used the lovely Four Feathers stamp set along with Pictogram Punches. There are some Coastal Cabana sequins, washi tape and a bit of glimmer paper thrown in for good measure. I hope you like it! April x

Perfect Pennants

 

Here is a Make and Take we are creating at a party this week. The card on the left is one I made at Monica's training day. Both combine Perfect Pennants with the Sale-a-bration set, Banner Blast. A lovely way of combining all the In-Colours too! I'm really looking forward to this Stampin' Up party, but will have to avoid the nibbles...

A Colour Challenge

 

Here is my card for the NAC#74 using a colour combination of Crisp Canteloupe, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana. The Eiffel Tower stamp comes from the Follow My Heart set and the DSP is one of the papers from the Sweet Sorbet Sale-a-bration pack. I have also used a sentiment and two Bermuda Bay banners from the Good As Gold Simply Sent kit - another free item available with orders of £45. The card is finished off with a few rhinestones and some Crisp Canteloupe Ruffle Stretch Trim - I hope you like it!

Undefined

 

Here is my own stamp that I carved using Stampin' Up's Undefined kit. The stamp itself isn't all that pretty, but I'm happy with the image it produces. I've used Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Baked Brown Sugar as the colours on this rather lovey-dovey card.

Here is a birthday card I recently made for a friend. It uses a stamp set and punch that will both be available during Sale-a-bration - Banner Blast and the co-ordinating Banner punch. Such a lovely stamp set - perfect for combining with the Owl Builder punch.
