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….

Clean & Simple – My Friend

HI everyone,

 

I have a quick Clean and Simple (CAS) card to share with you.

 

The layout of the card is from the Less is More challenges and I have used the square sketch.

 

The main cardstock and ink used is Perfect Plum and the sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.

 

The square is 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm and I have scored a single line at 0.5 cm on each side which you can just see in the photo.

 

I have stamped the flower image from the Creative Elements stamp set in the middle of the square.  I then stamped the image a further 2 times on scrap paper and cut out a few different sections and layered them on the main image with dimensionals. 

 

Here’s my card:

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Creative Elements, My Friend

Card: Perfect Plum, Whisper White
Ink: Perfect Plum

Accessories:  Modern Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I am really happy with this card and it was so quick to do.  This layout would be great to create a couple of cards for a gift….. hmm Mother’s Day is not far away!

Clean and Simple Hello…

Hi everyone,

 

Do you wind creating clean and simple cards a challenge – I do so I am challenging myself to create more of them.

 

In this post I want to share with you a card I have created with clean and simple style in mind.

 

I found the current challenge at Simply Less is More, which is to create a card with three different greens.

 

I have created this card using cardstock of Always Artichoke with a layer of Whisper White.

 

I stamped the image from the My Friend Stamp set in Lucky Limeade and I have inked some of the Always Artichoke ink on the bottom of the imaged.  I stamped twice to get the shadow image.

 

The wonderful ‘hello’ image was stamped in Always Artichoke and the butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die are in Whisper White with a touch of Always Artichoke on the outside and a smaller Certainly Celery butterfly layered on top. 

 

Yep and the cannot miss the added ‘bling’.

 

Here’s my card…

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: My Friend

Card: Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Ink: Always Artichoke, Lucky Limeade

Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

 

I am happy with the end result and this was a quick card to create.

 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Simply Less is More – # 62 Three Shades of Green

That Craft Place – # 8 All About Spring

Butterflies once more…

Hi everyone,

 

Hope that your week has been good, my weekend has come early no work tomorrow having a day off – yeah!

 

I do have a card to share with you ……

 

I have used the current sketch at Fetch A Sketch for the layout and once more there are butterflies appearing :)

 

The layers of butterflies have been created using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.  Love this die as it is so easy to create the butterflies. 

 

The butterflies are embossed and cut when you put the die through the Big Shot.  The extra butterflies that are not used each time I place in a container for later use and they always come in handy to add that little bit extra.

 

My colours this time are Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride with Very Vanilla.  I have stamped the swirl from the Creative Elements stamp set and the sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Creative Elements, My Friend

Card: Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla
Ink: Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade

Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Modern Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is always room for ‘bling’ so this time the butterflies flying around all glamorous!
