It's All About the COLOUR!

It's Saturday and here is my post for Just Us Girls

Lisa is Hosting our Colour Week and has chosen

gorgeous bright colours! Way to Go!

I had a lot of fun making this card. 

It's been a long time since I used  masking tape 

to ink up. That is what I did here using 

different sizes using the same colours as above.

Blended the three colours and toned it down

slightly with Hero Arts Unicorn ink.

Added some grunge from STAMPlorations

Mixed Media Elements (a favourite of mine)

 a few random circles and my butterfly with

VersaFine Clair then heated the butterfly with

Lindy's That's Marble-ous Chunky Embossing Powder.

Here's a close up to show you how chunky it is.

There's even little chunky flakes and there are

two on the bottom side of the butterfly if you look really close.

I then coloured the back card stock with the

Picked Raspberry and added Lawn Fawn

Stitched Borders to the side.

Sentiment is from Tim's Small Talk Stickers.

Adhered to white card base to finish.

Come over to Our Blog and check out

what our Guest  Claire and The Team created.

and in the running for Guest in June.

Thanks for coming by.

Roses aren't always Red.

A quick post today for  our Stencil Challenge Reminder

over at STAMPlorations 

and have made a really CAS card.

My background comes from my bits box

with some smooching. I then added thick stenciling with

The Rose Stencil. Sentiment - About a Rose

was heat embossed on patterned vellum

Added some pearls, corner rounded

and adhered to white card base.

Here are the two products I used.

There is still time to join in.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for dropping in.

I'm Excited to tell you....

 Hello and Welcome. I have some exciting and Happy News today.

I have been invited to join the Talented Designers over at

The Sisterhood of Crafters

Here is my first card using our Theme - 

Mellow Yellow (use yellow)

I started by heat embossing and colouring my flower

(SU Bloom with Hope) with Lindy's Sprays/Powders

 and Nuvo Shimmer Powders then fuzzy cut it.

 Added some stamping to the background

from SU  Timeless Textures.

Added die cut Geo Floral Frame by Sizzix 

and leaves by Fancy That Leafy Swirls.

Sentiment  is SU Because I Care die cut from MFT

and heat embossed.

Thought it appropriate to use the 'thank you' 

in appreciation of being invited to join The Sistahs!

Popped on white card base to finish.

Pop over and see what my new 'Sistahs' created

and be sure to create something mellow yellow

and add to the Gallery.
