Global Design Project #358

Hey Everyone

It’s a cold Sunday here in Australia so I’ve found a challenge to join in with instead of cleaning..cleaning can wait until tomorrow. The challenge at Global Design Project this week is a fab sketch challenge.

The card I’ve created feature flowers and leaves from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. To recreate the circles under the sentiment, I took two circle dies, a journalling pen and traced around the inside of the two different sized dies. The background cardstock was then given flicks of ink by flicking the nib of my Light Basic Black Blend against the lid of the blend.

I added a strip of striped DSP from the Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper. I keep every off cut as they come in handy for adding strips for layering. I tore a piece of Basic Black Cardstock and added this also.

I then stamped up the flowers from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and watercoloured them with Basic Gray Ink. The centre of the flowers were coloured with the Daffodil Delight Blends. The leaves were watercoloured with Mossy Meadow Ink. All Images were then fussy cut out and adhered with Dimensionals.

To finish of the card I added a sentiment from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and three black Matt Dots.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink #617

Hey Everyone

There’s a new challenge for you to play along with over at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is for you to:

I’ve gone with a square card for a change. It started as a rectangle card, but as I was playing around wth the DSP I had cut (maybe I should measure twice and cut once in future…) I felt there was better balance overall with a square design. The two items I chosen to feature on my card are – Dots and Diecuts.

The papers I’ve used are from two different DSP packs. The black and white spotted paper is from the Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper pack and the petal pink striped DSP is from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper Pack. Because of my miscalculation of size and the messing around I did, I had to cut a strip of Basic Black Cardstock to fill the space in between them.

After adhering all of these together, I cut a circle diecut and raised it up with Dimensionals. On this circle, I added a Basic White flower diecut cut with a die from the Artistic Dies. I fussy cut some black and white leaves from the Perfectly Pencilled DSP and layered them under some stamped flowers from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set.

A sentiment from Artistically Inked Stamp Set finished off my card. I love how this sentiment fits every card and is just the right font for masculine or feminine cards. I have raised this sentiment up with Dimensionals – maybe even double Dimensionals.

The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful cards to inspire you. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

TGIF #377 – Christmas In July Challenge

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

I was a little bit more than pleased to see I was chosen as last weeks winner at TGIF Challenges! Thanks for the challenge love ladies!

This week their challenge is a Christmas In July Challenge.

The card I’ve made has non-traditional Christmas colours. I like to mix up my cards and create with traditional and non-traditional combinations.

The colours I’ve used for my holly leaves are Pool Party and Smoky Slate Inks. I then used the same colours on my branches of holly. These have been coloured with my blends. The stamped leaves are from the Leaves of Holly Stamp Set.

The background Basic White Cardstock has been given detail with a dauber, Smoky Slate Ink and Artistic Mix Decorative Masks. I love the background it gives to my holly leaves. I had cut a strip of DSP from the Perfectly Pencilled DSP pack for an earlier project, so the end of that piece was added to this card.

A Gray Granite Ribbon bow was tied on my fingers to create a double bow and adhered under the corner of the sentiment.

The sentiment I’ve inked up in Pool Party, Basic Gray and Smoky Slate Inks is from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Stamp Set. I stamped the patterned sentiment and fussy cut the letters out. I then stamped the hollow sentiment, added some dimensionals to the letters and layered them layered over the “jolly”.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

I find I craft more in Winter and when I have new products to play with. The weather was cold enough to keep me inside all weekend!

I found that challenge at Global Design Project is a themed challenge that I wanted to play along with. Here’s their inspiration pic:

I find circles the easiest to work with. I cut heaps of Basic White Cardstock circles and embossed them with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. To add a little interest to the background, I took my Blending Brush and Daffodil Delight Ink and roughly shaded the Basic White Cardstock. I then layered the embossed circles on the background with Dimensionals.

The strip of striped DSP is from the Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper Pack. The flowers and leaves are also from the DSP. I fussy cut them out and coloured them with my Daffodil Delight Blends and Soft Sea Foam Blends.

I looked for a stamp set that had just the right sentiment as I wanted it to fit in a circle also. This sentiment is from the Cottage Rose Sentiment. Love the way these different fonts work together.

To finish off the card I added a Gold and Vanilla Satin Edge Ribbon bow. This ribbon is just divine!

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
