A Simple Silhouette

Hello there my blogger friends - 

Today I have a simple card experimenting

with some oxide inks (I need the practice)

and came up with

for the September CAS Watercolour Challenge

and for their

here CAS Watercolour

I am still having fun playing with some of my new

Lavinia Stamps and there are a few more to come.

My watercolour background has been smooched

several times. I then heat embossed my Lavinia Thistle

in white adding Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the centre.

For interest I stamped around it with a small script stamp

with Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink.

This was cut from a Spellbinder Die

and again with the 2 larger ones and popped.

Sentiment is from

CUTplorations Love Word Die

and also has the crystal glaze.

PS I chose the LOVE die just because

I Love Thistles oh! and there is Purple...

#Updated -  Also popping this over to
City Crafter Challenge Blog for their
Challenge #378 Pick One.

I could play with more of these gorgeous colours!
I'm thinking I may just do that.

Thanks for dropping by today.

Love reading your comment. Till next time

Just For You

It's my turn to Host this weeks Challenge over at

Just Us Girls and it is our WILD CARD WEEK!

Once again as Host  I chose an easy one -
your choice of using
  something old or something new or both like I did.

I decided to go with both old and new 

using green card stock from SU

I cut out a die from TH Mixed Media and

behind the cut out i added some shimmery red paper.

My poppy stamp is a recent new purchase 

and sentiment an old one from JustRite

The poppy is heat embossed and coloured with

Brusho's Rose Red/Black - Leaves with TH Mowed Lawn.

Sentiment inked with Altenew Ruby Red

and cut from Spellbinders Fancy Tags and popped.

Added a few pearls to finish.

Hope you will join us over at Our Blog to see what 

Our July Guest Aileen and the Team have chosen

to go with old/new or both and link your card so

You could be our Chic of the Week and be in the running

for our Guest in September. 

Thanks for dropping in.

Time to dig out an 'Old Die'

How often does an old die get put away and forgotten about

especially when there were so many more

 new ones 'you had to have'

It was timely that I got out that very old much loved

'Tattered Florals' die from the man himself - Tim Holtz.

I bet it sold zillions!

It was for the latest challenge over at Just Us Girls

that called for that very die.

 

 

Yes it's our Photo Inspiration and I am guessing that

our Hostess Nancy is wishing for 'Summer'

with this beautiful photo.

I started with the basic white card stock and
added 2 dark green strips either side of
the spotted dp. I would love to have added a little
Lady Beetle but the only one I had was too big.
I cut out the background flourish
with a Spellbinder die then added my daisy
which I cut out several times and shaped it.
Again I got out some forgotten about craft essentials
which sadly you don't see much any more -
yellow flower soft - a perfect centre!
This was popped. Added a few dew drops
and inked my sentiment which is from
49andMarket. Super font.
That's it!
Hope you get a chance to pop over to Our Blog
to check out more great inspiration.
Join in and you could be our 'Chic of the Week'
and in the running for Guest Designer in March.

Thanks for stopping by and Thanks You for
your Kind Comments.
