Freshly Made Sketches #556

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch to play along with over at Freshly Made Sketches. Our sketch designer is the uber talented Amy O’Neill – creator of all things glorious!

Amy’s sketch had me picturing so many different stamp sets to use, but I finally decided on the these pretty flower images from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set. I coloured these flowers with my Smoky Slate Blends just for something different. The leaves are fussy cut from the designer series paper pack called Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper. These leaves have been coloured with the Mint Macaron Blends and fussy cut out.

The striped DSP and the strip across the card are also from the Abigail Rose DSP pack. I added a thin strip of Basic Gray Cardstock under the piece going across the card. On this layer I added a bow made from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack.

The sentiment I’ve layered is from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set. This sentiment was stamped and trimmed into two sentiments.

The team have created awesome projects. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cheers

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches to play along with. This weeks sketch designer is me! I’ve come up with the following sketch for you all.

My initial sketch pretty much had a shape in every corner, but I tamed it and left only two shapes. My card however, is filled with details.

I love the dramatic-ness of black, white and yellow together. My card was designed around the diecut sentiment. This die is from the Sending Dies. You can purchase the dies separately or as part of the Sending Smiles Bundle.

The flowers I’ve coloured up are from the Happiness Abound Stamp Set. Each of the flowers have been coloured with a combination of every yellow blend that I own and fussy cut out. The leaves that I have tucked under each of the blooms has been fussy cut from the Perfectly Penciled DSP.

The yellow DSP I’ve layered over the Basic Black Cardstock is from the Hues of Happiness DSP. The circle diecut notebook type paper is from the Abigail Rose DSP. I really have given my card a mix of DSPs, images and sentiments!

Hope you get a chance to play along with the sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink #603

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday! So that means it’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is a colour challenge. Have a look at these gorgeous colours!

I love receiving new catalogue products! I’ve been waiting for new flowery stamp sets to colour and fussy cut!

The stamp set I’ve used for my card is called Happiness Abounds. How gorgeous are these blooms? I’ve got my watercolouring on and coloured the flowers with a combination of Blushing Bride and Rich Razzleberry Inks. The leaves have been watercoloured with Mint Maccaron Ink. All flowers and leaves have been fussy cut out.

To add a little bit more interest, I added some leafy die cuts cut with the matching dies to the stamp set, called Blossoming Happiness Dies. The sentiment was stamped on a label that was found in the die set also.

The background cardstock has been embossed with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. To add a little bit of bling I added three Polished Dots.

To add some of the challenge colours, I added strips of Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron Cardstock under the sentiment label.

The team have created wonderful cards that will no doubt inspire you to create a card and add it to the gallery. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.
