'FABULOUS'

I love playing with stencils and Maria as Hostess

 has chosen this for TREND WEEK!



I didn't really have a plan as to how I would make this card

so picked out one of my favourite stencils from

STAMPlorations called ARTplorations Happy Flowers.

I inked this up onto a spare piece of card stock I had

made with the shaving cream technique some time ago.

I liked the colour combinations so continued with that

for my stencil - TH Abandoned Coral/Peacock Feathers.

I then started adding bits of stamping here and there

from the  STAMPlorations Scribbly Splattery Grunge stamp set

and Kaisercraft Script.

For interest I inked the edges of the flowers

with matching gelly roll pens.

 

Added a black mat to the background onto white card stock.

Sentiment is from MFT - Simply Fab Sayings.

Pop over to Our Blog to see
what fabulous Stencilled designs
our March Guest Nance and the Team made.
I  am sure you will have fun playing with this one.
Hope so  - see you there.



Spring is in the Air

Spring is in the air in the Northern parts of the World

but just not where I live.

and that is what the challenge over at
 Hiding In My Craft Room is all about.
Check out the Details Here

I made a very quick clean and simple card for this challenge

as time was limited and I wanted to join in for fun!

I am off to visit my sister and I only had a small window

of opportunity to play.
Using basic card stock I have matted in colours of the butterfly
with a stitched die.
For a bit of interest I lightly stenciled the background
with white acrylic paint then attached my
heat embossed butterfly onto a piece of card stock that
has been previously inked with shaving cream.
Added a touch of WOS to parts of the butterfly.
Finished with a few brown sequins.
Products I used here are from STAMPlorations

Happy Birthday 'TIME OUT'

TIME OUT are celebrating their 3rd Birthday

with lots of Sponsors and lots of prizes!

So what better way to celebrate but to make a

Birthday card. As STAMPlorations are one of the sponsors

I used quite a few of their fabulous products for my card.

Starting with -  

Basic card stock in grey/red/white.

 ARTplorations Flourishes inked with Memento London Fog

My main image and frame are from  STAMPlorations Floral Bliss

heat embossed with Zing Charcoal

Spotlight is inked with Tim Holtz Abandoned Coral

so too  my XXOO from STAMPlorations Pocket Blooms

Sentiment is CUTplorations Happy 

using the same paper as my frame.

The Happy and the XXOO have been inked with WOS

for shimmer which is hard to see.

Birthday - STAMPlorations Vignette Chevron and Arrows

It has been a long time since I made a 'Spotlight' card

and it was so much fun trying out this great technique once more.

I am going to pop this card over to
