More masking tape and a post-it note

 

 

Hello! Here is another card made using masking tape to create an inked background. The stamp set is SU's Seaside Notions - I just couldn't resist that seahorse!

The colour scheme is inspired by this week's Global Design Project

I'm also sending this seahorse along to Di, Dudley & Parsnip at Pixie's Snippets Playground. The Real Red card was one of a small pile of snippets that took some serious searching for. For some unknown reason I seem to have no red card at all!

Happy crafting! April xx

So Succulent

Hello! It's raining and miserable here so perfect for making a cheery birthday card! I have used SU's So Succulent bundle which is a lot of fun to use.

I've used Flirty Flamingo cardstock and dsp combined with Mint Macaron, Perfect Plum and Emerald Envy. The sentiment is from Rose Wonder and I have also added some linen thread and silver sequins. The sketch for the card is from this week's challenge over at the Global Design Project - a pretty cool sketch that would lend itself to lots of cards I think!



 

I'd also like to send my card along to Cards in Envy where the challenge is to 'Keep it Simple'.

 

Happy crafting! April x



Jar of Love

Hello! Card-making has taken a bit of a back-seat to Olympic viewing at the mo. However, there was a short break from all the excitement to make this card with the lovely Jar of Love stamp set (and Everyday Jars Framelits) I love this set! So much scope for a multitude of possible designs.

My colour combo was Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo, but I'm looking forward to using autumnal colours with these stamps. The dsp is from the 'A Little Foxy' paper stack. I hope you like it!

I'm sending my jar of flowers to Di and a certain bear at Pixie's Snippets Playground. Those flowers were surgically extracted from the tiniest micro-snippets known to man (or bear) :-)

Flirty Flamingo Sneak Peek

Hello! Here is one of the Design Stamper cards I made for Telford's On Stage. The flower stamp is from Swirly Bird. I stamped the image in Versamark and then used white embossing powder on top. I used an Aquablender to make a watercolour wash of one of the new In-Colours, Flirty Flamingo (great name!) over the heat embossed image. I've added a piece of Emerald Envy dsp for contrast, along with the gorgeous co-ordinating ribbon and some gold sequins! I hope you like it!

I've been so busy with design stamping and launching my new business that I have been absent from the playground for too long!! So, I am saying 'Bonjour Beautiful' to Parsnip and Di over at Pixie's Snippets Playground!
