Just 'Hello'

It's everyone's Favourite Anything Goes Challenge at
Addicted to Stamps and More
Here's my take.

and a close up of the shiny dragonfly

I went CAS here and if you look closely at the
ornate dragonfly from Fancy That you will see
I have cut it out from  a scrap piece of glossy paper
which was inked up with Brusho's and cling wrapped.
I chose where to cut it as I wanted to show of the
wings and tail in different bright colours.
My background has a very light smooching.
Popped up my frame which was cut from
MFT Peek a Boo die. Added the dragonfly
and finished with a sentiment from
STAMPlorations Feathers 2.

It's Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge

A Guid New Year tae ane an awe

And mony may we see!

( A wee bit of Scotland coming out here)

Hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas
and now we move on to 2018.

The first Challenge over at Happy Little Stampers is our
Anything Goes Watercolour Challenge
(and I'm part of the New Look Team)
with the Optional Twist to use Sequins.
I'm sure we all have lots of little containers
full of these little treasures.

My watercolour background effect was the result of
spritzing water on to my craft mat after I added
Tim's Oxide Inks in Mermaid Lagoon & Salty Ocean
then spread with an acetate sheet.
The feature of my card is of course the feather
which is a stencil by TCW. I added texture paste
and once dry inked with Mermaid Lagoon.
It needed a little something so I put my stencil
back over the feather and versamarked it
then heat embossed the glitter.
Added some tiny text for interest.
Sentiment is from HLS Thinking of You
which unfortunately is retired.
Finished with HLS Blue Sequins and
a few gems and cut with a stitched die
adhering to metallic card stock.

Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop!

IF YOU USE STAMPS BY HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS AND YOU ARE OUR RANDOM WINNER, YOUR PRIZE WILL BE DOUBLED!

CAS Mix Up Reminder

It's the Middle of the Month and Reminder Time

for the current challenge at CAS Mix Up Challenge.

Here is my card as December's Guest Designer.

You can find the Details Here

My Mix is *Stamping

*Embossing *Smooching

*Stenciling *Die cutting

I had a lot of fun with this card.  

Thought I would try something a little different

here and got out my neglected Gelatos. 

Unfortunately they don't have the colours

on them but have used just three adding a touch of Inka Gold.

Showing the shimmer from the Gelatos

I simply scribbled them onto water colour paper and then

smooched with a water pen till I got the result I liked.

I then got out my Lavinia Stamp and heat embossed in black.

Touched up the middle with the green gelato and a tiny bit of

 Inka Gold. Added some tiny circles from

Dutch Doobadoo Pop Art stencil with Tim's Black Soot

and added a few circles for contrast with a white uniball pen.

Sentiment is from 

STAMPlorations Fond Expressions 2 

and heat embossed.

This was then cut from a stitched die from MFT and popped.
