Hello! Birthday Girl

It's WORD WEEK at Just Us Girls

and Sharyn is Hosting choosing

BUTTERFLY for this weeks challenge.

 

Now don't we all LOVE them and have

countless stamps/dies to boot.

My beautiful butterfly stamp was given to me by a friend

who used to work at an op shop and would save items

she thought I would use so I do not know the maker (shame)

I heat embossed it in white and then went about getting messy

making my background using -

Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers 

SU Rich Razzleberry &

Memento Potter's Clay.

I cut out a few Hello dies from Lawn Fawn

adhering it slightly off the paper for effect.

The Birthday Girl sentiment is heat embossed

and from Inspired by Stamping.
I spritzed the image with Iridescent Medium
but is only showing up lightly.

Finished with some scattered bling.

I really enjoy the emboss resist technique

and made that beautiful butterfly stamp pop.

May Guest Designer - Aileen has made -
not to forget my amazingly talented

I am sure you will want to participate in this challenge

 so will be looking out to see I am sure a wide variety
of beautiful butterfly creation.
You could be the Chic of the Week and
be in the running as our next Guest.
Go for it and Craft On.

 



A Bicycle Built for You

There's a few challenges looking for bicycles/vehicles this week

 

 

so I got out one of my favourite SU stamps

Postage Due for the bicylce and decided to go cas this time

using Kraft as my base.

Picked out some coloured paper to match

the DP which is from Kaiserscraft.

I inked my image and sentiment

with SU Close to Cocoa.

Randomly stamped some circles also from

SU - Beyond the Basics.

Ribbon is SU.

 

I am participating in the Vehicle Challenge at

Inkspirational Challenge #107

 

 

And the Bicycle Challenge Here.

 

Thanks for dropping by today.

Hope you like what you saw as I

would love to read your thoughts.

 

 

 

 



Just Adding Ink - Just for You!

I love entering challenges with colours

or inspirational photos and 



Just Add Ink have a beautiful one

I thought I would put ink to.

 

  

I was going to used a Chevron Stencil
for my card but decided to use
Memory Box  - Texture Waive
in it's place. I think it marries better with
the butterfly.
Other products I used are -
Coloured card stock
Spellbinders Butterfly
(Two dies for different results)
For my waive colours I inked up
Memento Angel Pink
SU Calypso Coral &
Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers.
Gemstones
Cut outs from
the butterfly dies for the trail.
Foam squares for dimension.
Sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping.

Thanks for dropping by today.
I love reading your comments.
Till next time...



It's TARTAN for Me

 

I was super excited when I saw the latest challenge over at

Addicted to CAS

'cause you have to make a cas card with Plaid

 

 

Now to me being a Scot - it is Tartan

and what better stamp to use was the

very appropriate Thistle I bought while holidaying in my

Homeland of Scotland.

My bff bought the tartan paper I used for my background

while she was in London and I love it to bits.

It is from Boofle.

I stamped my image with Memento Pistachio

and cut it out with Spellbnders Floral Ovals

then inked the edges.

I added a touch of yellow to  the flower

and enhanced the thistle also with a bit of colour.

The top of the thistle has a generous amount of

Heather coloured Flower soft.

My sentiment is a die cut from Spellbinders.

Finishing off with a cotton bow.

 

This really was a simple and quick card.

I will send it on to my niece for

her birthday as she was with me

when we visited Bonny Scotland.

 

Thanks for dropping in

Sweet Birthday Wishes!

 

We're going all Feminine at Crafty Cardmakers this time.

 Bec is Hosting and chosen Pearls/Gems

How fabulous is that!

 

 

 Here are the products I used

Coloured card stock as my base.

Iridescent card stock

Designer paper is from

 First Edition - Desert Blooms

Spellbinder Dies - Opulant Ovals

Flourish

Antique Frames & Accents

Flowers are cut from scrap DP

using Marianne DieMS Leaves/Sprigs

Sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping

Kaisercraft Pearls.

 

I think this turned out rather pretty and feminine.

Pop over and see what the other Designers created

and hope you get the chance to play with us this time round.

It doesn't have to be a card BUT

be sure you don't enter your project

in ANY MORE THAN 15 which includes ours.

A Simple Thank You

I am participating in the current Colour Challenge over at

Colour Throwdown

 

 

Aren't they such simple but stunning

colour combination.

Here is how my card came together -

I used basic card stock colours as above.

I inked my SU Woodgrain stamp in

Memento Paris Dusk and cut out part

of a Spellbinder Circle die to

display my flowers.

I used one of my favourite SU stamp sets/punch

Petite Petals (again Thanks Maria)

These were punched out after I inked them with

Memento Paris Dusk and a combination of

SU Yo Yo Yellow & Memento Peanut Brittle

to try and get the mustardy colour.

Behind my floral spray are leaves cut from

a Sizzix die. These were embossed with

that Cuttlebug favourite - Swiss Dots.

Added a few tiny flowers dotted with liquid pearls

and some punched circles to add a bit of interest to the

woodgrain background.

My sentiment is from SU and cut from an

EK Success double punch.

Finished with a gemstone on one of the flowers.
I would also like to enter this in the current Colour Challenge
over at Fashionable Stamping as their colour choice
is also the same.
