Friends .......

Have I told you that I'm in LOVE with this weeks colours from ColorLab Color Challenge. I couldn't resist sitting down and creating another card with these gorgeous colours. You can check out my other card here.

Here's the colours again -

Just Add Ink #42....

Edited to add - Wooo-hoo! This card was picked as a JAI42 Top Pick! What a wonderful surprise! Please check  here  to see the other winning entries.



                               

I thought I'd play along with the Just Add Ink Sketch Challenge this week.

Here's the sketch -

And my card -

You might be thinking that this card is very similar to one of mine that you've seen recently .... and you're right. At the moment the Just Believe stamp set with Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake and the Elegant Soiree DSP is my absolute favourite. Since I still had it all out from this card, I thought I'd use it all again *smile*

Thanks for visiting!

Clean and Simple Sketch Challenge....

I thought that I'd have a go at another challenge today. As I was searching around I came across the Clean and Simple FTL110 Challenge and thought it was perfect for an idea that I've had floating around in my head for a little while now.

Here's the sketch -

My card -

And the inside -

While it's not really clean, simple or exactly like the sketch it came together pretty quickly and was inspired by the sketch. I really like how it turned out too.

Thanks for visiting!

Just Add Ink #36

Wow! Two challenges in 2 days :)

Since I still had the colours out from yesterday's Mojo Challenge (you can see that post here) I decided to use them again for this weeks Just Add Ink Challenge #36


Here's the sketch -

And my card -

To make the dragonflies firstly I stamped them onto Rich Razzleberry and Pretty in Pink card stock with Early Espresso ink. I then cut out the wings. After stamping them again on the white card stock, I popped the wings on dimensionals cut in half and placed them over the wings stamped on the card. I love how they turned out!

Thanks for visiting!

Another Male Card.....

I thought that I would share with you today another card with retiring products. And for those of you that struggle with male cards, it may give you some inspiration as well.

You can check out the updated Last Chance List here.


Now this card is a CASE from the wonderfully talented Teneale Williams. You can see her card here. If you haven't seen her work before please check out her blog. I promise you won't be dissapointed.

Here's my card -

And the matching inside as well -

To make the tree multi coloured I used the sponge daubers. I use a different dauber for each colour. After dabbing it onto the ink pad, I then dabbed randomly over the stamp. I did that with each colour then "huffed" onto the stamp before stamping it onto the cardstock. Clear as mud I know! LOL If you have any questions or would like to book a workshop to see this technique in action please email me.

Check back tomorrow for some scrapbook pages we made in my friends (hi Ali!) workshop a little while back using my favourite retiring colour.

Cottage Wall DSP 2......

As I said in yesterdays post, I'm going to miss the Cottage Wall DSP from the Autumn-Winter mini! I've used it on so many cards, 3D objects and even a mini album. I find that it works perfectly with both the Cottage Garden and Vintage Vogue stamp sets.

Here's my second card using using both Cottage Garden DSP and Vintage Vogue together............

This card is one that I cased from Sherri Barron. You can see her original card and video here.
So ..... what do you think?  Will you be stocking up on Cottage Garden DSP like me before the autumn-winter mini catalogue finishes at the end of this month?

Cottage Wall DSP......

There is one item that I'm really going to miss the most from the Autumn-Winter mini catalogue . It's the Cottage Garden DSP. I'm definetly going to be stocking up on it before the mini finishes at the end of this month. Even though one of the colours used in it is Orchid Opulence (retiring this month), it also uses Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry.
