Little Miss Bitty

Hi everyone, the weekend has past so quickly and I hope you have had or are having a great one.

 

It’s sketch challenge time at Come and Get IT challenges, if you are up for a challenge pop over and see what the Design Team have created and join in the fun!!

 

The colours I had in my head to create my card  just didn’t work but eventually something clicked and I have used Island Indigo for the base of my card with some Cherry Cobbler card stock.  I  added some of the Timeless Portrait DSP also.

 

The image is the sponsors image and I have coloured Little Miss Bitty in with the aqua painter using River Rock, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Blushing Bride and Daffodil Delight ink.

 

The image has been cut out using Spellbinders Nestabilities which I haven’t used before – bad I know.  The sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.

 

Here is my card….

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: My Friend, Fred She Said Little Miss Bitty

Everyday Enchantment

Hi everyone,

 

I really love the Everyday Enchantment DSP which is available as part of Sale-a-bration.

 

So I have created a card with a sample of the DSP, images from the Elementary Elegance Stamp Set and a sample of the Everyday Enchantment Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon.

 

I am sure you now get the link with title of this posting :)

 

I would describe my card as having a spring feel, being soft flowing and it has been touched with my vintage attempt.  I am happy with it, have a look below:

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Elementary Elegance Stamp Set

Card: Peach Parfait, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Peach Parfait

Accessories:  1/8” (3.2 mm) Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon, Beautiful Winds Embosslits Dies, Everyday Enchantment DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

I have used a dauber and sponged some of the Peach Parfait ink on to the Peach Parfait cardstock after I sanded it back in a few different places.  I have also used the dauber with the Peach Parfait ink on the Very Vanilla card stock.

 

I am still hooked on the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies.  The larger butterfly is in Lucky Limeade card stock (even though the photo has it looking a little darker) and the small butterfly is in Very Vanilla cardstock.

 

Oh and don’t forget the added ‘bling’ in the corner and on the butterfly!  I added a little of the Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon to a dimensional at the back of the larger butterfly because I wanted it to seem like he was fluttering here and there :)

Special Easel Card

Hi everyone,

 

I found a tutorial for an Easel Card with a Twist and I have finally created one.

I added a little sample of the Cheerful Treat DSP and found in my stash the lovely forgotten Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon to create the bow.

 

The sentiment is from Field Flowers stamp set and the Elegant Lines Textured Impression Folder makes a great background on the Very Vanilla cardstock.

Stamp set: Field Flowers

Card: Regal Rose, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla 
Ink: Regal Rose

Accessories:  5/8” (1.6 cm) Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, Decorative Label Punch, Eyelet Border Punch, Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, Cheerful Treat DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

Going Green

Hi everyone,

 

It’s St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday and nearly everyone is going green so I have joined in.

 

I have used one of my favourite greens – Old Olive, for the base of my card with a small amount of the DSP Paisley Petals.

 

I have tried to stay as green as possible but there is a little hint of colour in the DSP and I have stamped the Hello Blossoms stamp in Early Espresso and punched out the letters.  The word ‘hello’ has been added to the Always Artichoke image with Dimensionals.

 

For a contrast colour I have used River Rock other than that I am pretty green.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Hello Blossoms

Card: Old Olive, River Rock, Whisper White
Ink: Always Artichoke, Early Espresso

Accessories:  Oval Punch (Retired), Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 5/8” (1.6 cm) Organza Ribbon Whisper White, Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Paisley Petals DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I have also used some of the Whisper White Organza Ribbon and layered some retired Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon.

For Mum

Hi everyone,

 

This card is for my Mum.

 

I used the one of the sentiments from the Blessed Mother stamp set, I like both sentiments but this one I think suited the card.

 

I used Marina Mist for the base of the card and a sample of the paper from Beau Chateau DSP.  My Mum loves the sort of look of this DSP with its soft colours.

 

I used the Two Tags Die and cut out one of the tags in Crumb Cake and the other in Very Vanilla.  The ribbon is the Very Vanilla Velvet Designer Ribbon, which is available in the current Summer Mini.  It is feels so lovely!

 

Of course there is ‘bling’ as I added some Rhinestones and the light swirl is from the Creative Elements stamp set.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Blessed Mother, Creative Elements
Ink: Marina Mist

Card Stock: Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla

Accessories:  1-3/3/8” (1 cm) Very Vanilla Velvet Designer Ribbon, Two Tags Dies, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive
