Day 4 STAMPlorations 7th Birthday Celebrations

Hello and Welcome.  

We are now into Day 4 of our Birthday Celebrations

I was excited to get Tim's New Oxide Crackling Campfire 

 and as I had it out using it on my previous card 

I knew it would look

spectacular using photo paper.

Colours I used are the Crackling Campfire

Seedless Preserves Ground Espresso and Fossilized Amber

on my background. Wiped with a paper towel

and sealed with Tim's Distress Glaze.

I then inked  Sanna's Amaranth Stencil

with VersaFine Clair Fallen Leaves.

Added some grunge in the background from

STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge

My sentiment is the

 ARTplorations Make a Wish Die Cut

smooched in colours above and added a

brown die cut for a shadow.

Finished by attaching to brown card base.

We are nearing the end of our Birthday Celebrations

STAMPlorations Birthday Celebrations Day 3

We are on to  

Day 3 Birthday Celebrations at STAMPlorations

Hope you have been over and checked everything out!

If not you are missing out on so much creativeness.

Day 3 card had me playing again with the

ARTplorations Mosaic Slimline Stencil

flipping it sideways.

I recently purchased Tim's new Crackling Campfire

Oxide Ink so had to try out, combining it with Seedless Preserves

and Peacock Feathers. When dry I put the stencil back

and randomly added some Texture Paste.

Got a bit creative with my sentiments from 

STAMPlorations Bold Sentiments Hashtag Authentic

and STAMPlorations Art Marks

Inked with VersaFine Clair Warm Breeze

and heat embossed clear.

Inked randomly and around the edges

and some small inking on the white card base.

STAMPlorations 7th Birthday Celebrations Day 2

 Here I am again for Day 2 of our

 Day 2 of our 7th Birthday Celebrations

For my Day 2 card I chose to use the new 

Bloomfully - Radiance Check the series out HERE.

Now those that know me are aware of my

lack of colouring skills so I took the easy way out

using my favourite medium - Lindy's Magicals

in Bougainvillea Fuchsia Alpine Rose and

Oom Pah Pink and simply smooched on to my 

watercolour card stock.

Heat embossed the beautiful flower 

and sentiment with Zing Metallic Silver.

Added some Cosmic Shimmer Crackle Paint 

to the centre of one of the flowers then a bit more crackle

from Tim's Distress Clear Rock Candy for shine

Backed it with silver paper and on to white card base.

It's Trend Week at Just Us Girls

Hello and Welcome to today's post for

Just Us Girls

Lisa is Host this week and she want to see

Ombre Shades.

This was a simple card to make.

Started with cutting out my flowers from

smooched inkings of Magical's and Nuvo Shimmer Powders

in varying ombre shades - even using the same colours as above

then after cutting the Kaisercraft Texture Die out 

I decided to emboss one instead as my background. 

Flicked on some splatters and added my flowers.

Popped up the SU sentiment cut from a

JustRite die and inked the edges.

Popped onto white card base and I am done.

Here's a close up of the embossing and ombre shaded.

Head over and see what out Guest Karen 

and the Team created and we would love to

see your ombre card in our Gallery.

You could be our Chic of the Week and 

in the running for a Guest Spot in the New Year.

Thanks for stopping by.
