It's Colour Week at 'Just Us Girls'

Today's card is for the New Challenge over at

Just Us Girls. Angie is Hosting and 

It's a favourite of mine.

With such lovely soft colours I got out a

lovely floral stamp from Carabelle

and coloured with shimmery paints.

I did a wash around the flowers to add interest.

This worked out nicely as it was that shimmer

that gave me the colour choice of my Altenew Sentiment.

Added green beads to the centres, some twine and

popped the framed the flowers.

Pop over and see what our Guest Ros Crawford

and the Team created for your pleasure.

I'm sure you will want to play with this colour choice

but remember to use just the 3 colours. Neutrals are fine.

Hope to see you in our Gallery this week.

Thanks for dropping in.

Cool Guitars for My Man.

Hello and Welcome to today's post.

It's all about the Males this time round as Father's Day is 

just around the corner in Australia and 

my Hubby's Birthday next week.

Since he loves playing his guitar with his 'old' mates

this is what I chose.

I got out bright coloured Distress inks 

in Black Soot/Hickory Smoke/Carved Pumpkin

Fossilized Amber and Peacock Feather.

Simple inked the back background multiple times

from SU Timeless Textures stamps

then my guitars from Inspired by Stamping.

 Added a few 'picks'

You can't play a guitar very well without them!

Sentiments are from STAMPlorations 

Oh So Grateful and One Cool Chick

Added some washi tape to the top and bottom.

Cut this out from a stitched die and adhered to 

black card base.

The new challenge over at Crafting with Dragonflies

is asking for a 'Guy' card.

Pop over and see what the Designers made and join in.

You have 2 weeks so plenty of time to play.

There are a few others that have the same idea so 

will pop this card over to

 Water Cooler Wednesday

Retro Rubber Challenge is a new one I just found

and you need to use stamps that are more than a year old.

The main stamp set I used I know is more than 2 years old

as the Owner used to live in Australia but

moved back to America. My background stamp is

also older than a year and is 

SU Timeless Textures - now retired.

I went the top line left to right

using a stitched die, washi tape and going masculine.

Details for this challenge are Here

Hope you all have a great week end and

get to do the things you love doing

especially craft!

Thanks for dropping in.

You TOTALLY Made my Day!

I've been playing for the current challenge over at

CAS-ual Fridays
where we are asked to Stamp a Pattern.

Details Here.

I only have a few of their stamps but knew

the Wonderful Words Set

would suit perfectly.

My inked background was from my Bits Box

which no doubt were in similar colours to what I used

for my Stamped Pattern.

The flowers were inked up with 

Tim's Distress Inks in

Dusty Concord/Seedless Preserves

and Peacock Feathers.

The tiny leaves (inked in Memento Teal Zeal)

 and dots are from Inspired by Stamping.

Sentiment inked with Dusty Concord.

Added a white mat to the back and adhered to

coloured card base to match.

Friendship Pansies

A CAS card for today's post. 

Hello and Welcome.

I got this delightful wee stamp from a

Special Friend (Thanks SS) and is just perfect

for the current challenge over at

AAA Cards

The challenge calls for Friendship

 I heat embossed the Redletterworks Stamp

with Zing Metallic Purple powder

onto watercolour paper, coloured 

the flowers with Twinkling H2O's

and Metallic Paints. The leaves are

coloured with PearlEx Powders.

I cut this with a stitched die popping it slightly

onto another piece of  paper slightly larger.

 Finished by popping that on to

Metallic Gold Card Stock.

Why is it always so hard to get a true purple

when you photograph that colour. I did try!
