Bellarific Besties

 

Hi Lovelies...

Today I've gone bold!!  For my Bellarific Friday card I've used really strong colours..  and loved using them!

As this week we're using images that aren't from the current release, I chose to use Curvy Girl Besties..  I love this pair!  I did think about using the Bestie Word Die - but decided against as I thought it needed no more than the image and the shaker background.  Less is more... etc.... etc!

I created a Distress Oxide background for behind the shaker element - so those colours show through quite strongly too.

Card Info:

Image - Stamping Bella Curvy Girl Besties

Die - Sunny Studios Frilly Frames

Distress Oxides - Worn Lipstick, Scattered Straw, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves

Colouring - Copics

Have a lovely weekend all... hope you're keeping well clear of this awful virus - I figure if we stay in our craft rooms, we'll be OK... and that's such a good excuse for some crafting time.

A Quick Thanks Card...

Hi Lovelies..

I saw a wonderful card by Cathy Zielske the other day using this technique and wanted to try - it's done by blending four colours of Distress Oxides on a panel to start, then adding a stencil and repeating the colours through the stencil which this time, giving a second darker layer.... so that the hearts show up even though they're stencilled using the same colours... follow my drift?

Anyway - I loved how it came out...  then I chose to use a Simon Says Stamp Thanks Word Die (with shadow) - and added some sequins to finish.  Simple - but effective... yes??

That's it from me today..

Spring has Sprung

 

Hi There...

It's time for a new release over at All Dressed Up - and as usual, there are four fabulous new images..

Birthday Cake

 

Hi Peeps..

I have two cards to share today... both using the lovely Birthday Cake Die from MFT.  

I used the die twice on two separate shades of pink - so was able to make both these cards with what I'd cut - alternating the colours.  Although I have to say, the second card does look like I used totally different colours - but it's just how the camera picked them up.

MFT Double Stitched Rectangle Die

Hope you like my cards today as much as I enjoyed making them!

Best Buds

 

Hi Peeps

I've got another CAS card to share today - this time using a Paper Smooches stamp and a Mama Elephant cover plate.

I coloured and fussy cut the image - then used the cover plate die for the white panel.  I adhered the image using 3D foam pads - then added some glitter and sequins.  Lastly, I cut a pink scalloped edge panel to mat and layer the panel on to... then all onto a card base.

Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Scallop Rectangle

Floral Fusion

Hi Peeps...

I'm sharing a card today using a cover plate die from MFT that's been in my stash for years and never been used for a card...  and as it's a truly beautiful die, I knew it needed to have it's day!  I came across it a couple of weeks back when I was searching for something else... so popped it on my desk ready to use.

Firstly, I used Distress Oxides to blend a panel for behind the diecut - using my favourite colours - Worn Lipstick, Fossilized Amber and Picked Raspberry.  Then I adhered the diecut, and matted both onto some strong pink cardstock.  I cut a strip for the sentiment, and used one from the stamp set that came free with the Creative Stamping magazine this month. I stamped and embossed it in gold -though that's very difficult to see on the photos - in real life it does look fab!

Card Info:

Die - MFT Floral Fusion

Sentiment - Free from Creative Stamping Magazine

Panel - Distress Oxide Colours listed above

Maybe you can see the gold a little better on this pic?  

I finished the card off with some sequins and gems - and I'm happy with the result.  I think I'll be using this die lots more in the near future!

Flowers For You

 

Hi Peeps...

Today I played with the fabulous Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens stamp set which has sat in my stash for a little while waiting to be coloured.  I saw a card on Pinterest just using the single flower stamped multiple times and it inspired me to create!

Firstly I drew pencil lines equal distances apart so that I could line the flowers perfectly - then I used my Mini Misti to firstly stamp the flower in the centre, then move the card to either way over the pencil lines to stamp the rest.  It worked well... but this was my second attempt!

Card Info:

Image - Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens

Sentiment - Clearly Besotted Simply Said

Colouring - Copics

Orange - YR04/09

Pink - RV55/17

Purple - V25/15

Blue - B23/24

Aqua - BG45/49

Centres - YR23/24

Hope you like my CAS make today - cards like this really appeal to me as I'm definitely a 'less is more' person - except when it comes to my craft stash of course!!
