Pedal Pusher

Here's a card I've made with the Pedal Pusher stamp set - available free with orders of £45 during Saleabration. I love it! You can change the contents of the basket to French bread or a pile of hearts. There are eleven photopolymer stamps in the set. Very cute indeed!

Do let me know if you would like to order any Stampin' Up products or join my friendly team. During Saleabration, which ends on 31st March, you can get an amazing £160 worth of products for only £99. Great for starting your own business, or for building your own collection of crafty stuff.

I've coloured my bicycle with a blender pen and added some washi and glitter tape. Very quick and easy! April x

52 CCT Colour Challenge

 
Hello! It's a colour challenge over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and our hostess Julie has chosen a combo of green and white (with a nod to St Patrick's Day).

I really enjoyed stamping this misty forest of Christmas trees in Cucumber Crush and Mint Macaron. The tree and moon stamp is from Moon Gazer by Lindsay Mason (for Personal Impressions). Although it is meant to be a moon (complete with a moon-gazing hare!) I think it looks more like a pale winter sun here. I have also added some Glimmer Paper stars and a piece of washi tape as the finishing touches.

Such an intriguing colour combination to work with! I do hope you will join us. April x

A last gasp of an entry for Pixie's Snippets Playground (sorry Di and Parsnip!) The glimmer paper is a snippet. The Cucumber Crush card wasn't exactly a snippet, but it was an unloved piece of cardstock, if you see what I mean. I do like green, but Cucumber Crush is a bit too green sometimes!

Inky Musings

I am very excited to have started Jeri Parks' texture class at CourseCraft. I thought I would blog about my progress as I go along, as a way of recording the samples that I have made.

We have started with the ghosting technique. I have had such a wonderful inky morning making these tags! The first one was made with a Hero Arts Ombre inkpad. I just spattered water from my fingers on this one.

I love the second tag because it reminds me of vintage enamel. This was created using a SU Cucumber Crush inkpad with the water spritzing from a spray. The last one was made using Strawberry Slush and a SU heart stencil. No baby wipes to hand, so I used a makeup remover wipe which worked really well!

 It has been so lovely and therapeutic to just mess around with ink and learn new things! Happy Friday! April x
