Every Moment Sketch Challenge

On Saturday I attended the Stampin’ Up Regional Seminar in Sydney.

 

During the day there was training, make and takes as well as some wonderful presentations from other demonstrators and Head Office Staff.

 

One of the presentations was on Water Colouring and Masking.

 

I had forgotten how much I enjoy water colouring, so I came home last night and used the Every Moment Stamp Set and did some water colouring.

 

I created a card for the sketch challenge which has been displayed on a site called ‘Create with Connie and Mary’. 

 

The sketch challenge is number CCMC 125 and you can view the sketch by clicking here.

 

As I am water colouring I have stamp my image with StazOn and then I have picked the colour up from the ink pads with my Aqua Painter.

 

The sketch layout has been created in a Portrait layout but I have created my card in a landscape layout.  The card uses two of the new In Colours ink pads – Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait.

 

This sketch is very versatile and I will definitely use it again.

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp set: Every Moment, Great Friend
Card: Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait, Whisper White
Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Peach Parfait, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  1/4” (6.4 mm) Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon, 3/8” (1 cm) Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders, Basic Rhinestones, Uni-ball White Signo Gel Pen, Aqua Painter

 

 

Let me know what you think of the end result by leaving a comment or if you have any questions on Water Colouring, you can email me by clicking here.

 

Thanks for looking and until next time – keep creating!

Elegant Soiree Sketch Challenge

Hi, I am back – finally I have had a chance to post another card.

 

I found another card challenge at Stamping411 and I have used the lovely Elegant Soiree DSP to create a card in this layout. 

 

The layout is SSC177 and you can click the link above to look at the layout and other cards that have been created.

 

For my card I have used the Friends Never Fade stamp set and I really like the basic rhinestones so I have added a little ‘bling’ inside the Filigree Designer Brad.

 

I inked up the Friends Never Fade image in Crumb Cake and then rolled the stamp in the Baja Breeze which added a different effect to the image.

 

 

 

 

 Supplies:
Stamp set: Friends Never Fade
Card: Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Ink: Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze

Accessories:  Basic Rhinestones, Filigree Designer Brad, Elegant Soiree DSP, 3/8” (1 cm) Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon,  Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive, Paper-piercing Mat Pack

 

Thanks for looking and until next time… keep creating

Hope you like the card – it was quick to make and this was a great layout for using some of the wonderful Designer Series Paper you may have!

 

Thanks for visiting.

Dasher Christmas Card

This lovely stamp ‘Dasher’ is a great little stamp for quick Christmas Cards.

 

I wanted to create a card in non-traditional colours and I have used the ‘Dasher’ stamp with a Marina Mist and Crumb Cake combination.

 

I have embossed the Marina Mist cardstock with the Big Shot Embossing Folder ‘Elegant Bouquet’ and I have added a little ‘bling’  too.

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp set: Dasher, Snow Swirled
Card: Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Whisper White 
Ink: Marina Mist, Early Expresso
Accessories:  Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder, 3/8” (1 cm) Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, Basic Rhinestones,  Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

I do not mind the colours together and I get a really Christmas feel from the card. 

 

I do not think a greeting should go on the outside but would add one to the inside.

 

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

 

Until next time, keep creating and thanks for stopping bye.
