so glad

 hello crafters!

I've got some time today so decided to enter a few challenges. Luckily, I was able to combine 3 into 1 card. Timeout has an interesting challenge to use alphabet magnet letters; which I remember were so much fun! Inkspirational has a 'seasonal' theme and the snarky sisters have O is for Outside this month. Phew!

Die cutting the letters was the easy part but my goodness there were a lot to watercolour! The background panel was brayered with green from the bottom up and blue from the top down. Then random stamps were stamped in white and white heat embossed. Some of the letters got a bit of bling with a white jelly roll pen.

Love this sentiment -  Thanks for stopping by today!

      

  • stamps: Lavinia mini seed head, butterfly, Globleland dandelion
  • dies: MFT bitty banner
  • inks: kitsch flamingo, mowed lawn, salty ocean, tumbled glass, bundled sage, mustard seed, candied apple, twisted citron, squeezed lemonade, carved pumpkin, wilted violet distress oxides

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #536 colours

   hello crafters!

This month's colour challenge at CAS colours and sketches was put together by Patricia! A lovely group of colours which I thought I'd use for a masculine card.

The background was stencilled lightly, the vase was die cut from design paper 3 times and stacked. These lovely eucalyptus sprays were die cut, ink blended then I used some tiny stamps for interest on the leaves.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the gallery!


  • dies: Gummiapan eucalyptus 1 and 2, Paper Rose little vases, little foliage, MFT bitty banners
  • stamps: Lavinia foliage set, Gummiapan happy birthday
  • stencil: Darkroom Door brick wall
  • inks: pumice stone, salvaged patina, ground espresso, pine needles distress oxides
