Great Friend

Hi everyone, thanks for visiting once more and seeing what I am up too.

 

When you are reading this I hope that all is well and that you have managed a little time to do some creating ?!

 

I have created a card using the colour inspiration from Scrapmaster’s Paradise and the sketch layout from Sketch Frenzy Friday.

 

Below are the challenges and you can visit each site if you click on the image:

 

 

 

I have used Basic Grey for the base of my card and some of the Lap of Luxury DSP.  This is such a great colour challenge, as the colours compliment each other very well.

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Great Friend, Every Moment

Card: Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, Basic Grey
Ink: Basic Grey, Pretty in Pink

Accessories:  3/8” (1 cm) Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Edge Border, Mat Pack for Paper-Piercing, Lap of Luxury DSP, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

I haven’t really used the Every Moment stamp set but I think it suits this layout and of course the verse from the Great Friend stamp set, just adds that extra touch :)

 

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment and thanks for visiting once more.

 

See you again soon….. Meg x

Thank You Card

Evening everyone, the weekend is so close.

 

There is so much planned but I am looking forward to celebrating my birthday tomorrow and over the weekend with friends.  You can never celebrate your birthday too much!

 

But on to the card that I have made… the card has been created with inspiration from the clean and simple sketch FTL # 129 and the sketch is below:

 

 

 

For the base of my card I have used Soft Suede cardstock and I have also used the Elegant Soiree DSP.  Even though it may not look like it the neutral cardstock is Very Vanilla.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Every Moment, Occasional Quotes

Card: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Ink: Soft Suede, Baja Breeze

Accessories:  Elegant Soiree DSP, Retired Basic Grey Ribbon, Scallop Edge Boarder Punch, Nestabilities Classic Oval, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I also used the butterfly from the Every Moment stamp set and I have raised the oval and butterfly with dimensionals.

 

Have a great Friday because I know I will :)

 

Until next time, keep creating….. Meg x

Card Patterns Sketch

I have completed another card sketch, this one can be found at Card Patterns site and the challenge is Sketch 103.

 

The sketch is:

 

 

 

I have created a card using the Sunny Garden DSP which contains some great fun colours such as Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait.

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Every Moment, Vintage Labels, Printed Petals

Card: Poppy Parade, Whisper White
Ink: Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  1/2” (1.3 cm) Stitched Pear Pizzazz Poly Ribbon, 1-3/8” (3.5 cm) Circle Large Punch, 1” (2.5 cm) Circle Medium Punch, 1-3/4” (4.4 cm) Scallop Circle Extra-Large Punch, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I punched the circles out of the DSP and then placed some Whisper White card stock behind the DSP.  I then stamped through the holes.

 

This was a quick card to make and I added the ribbon as an added touch.

 

I love these challenges, so I am off to do the next one :)

 

Until next time…. keep creating… Meg x

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!
