The Flower Challenge #33

Hello, I'm back with a card I made for the Flower Challenge which is "Focus on Background Stamping".  I have been trying to make this all month and finally had some time today on this cold winters day.

I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Altenew Bamboo Rose stamp set randomly all over a card panel.  I coloured them in with my Prisma pencils and used some Odourless Solvent to blend the colours.  I outlined the images with a grey marker to give some dimension.

The Flower Challenge #32

Hello and happy Thursday!  My card today is for The Flower Challenge  which is embossing.

I have a new stamp from Altenew which was begging to be used.

I stamped the floral image from "Weekend Doodles" and coloured it in with my new Set D Altenew alcohol markers.  I love the pinks and greens is this set.  I pulled out a very old "frame" embossing folder from Stampin Up and embossed the middle of my card panel.  I fussy cut out the two flowers from my coloured image and adhered them to the frame with some foam tape.  I bought a huge roll of foam tape from Bunnings for $12.00!!  What a bargain and it is good quality with just the right amount of dimension that I like!

Do what makes your guts grin!

Hello, I am over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today with this fun card  using the "Sassy Smiles" stamp set.  I love the sassy sayings in this set, they make me LOL. Who doesn't want their guts to grin!    

Firstly I stamped the "Smile" in Versafine Black ink and while it was still wet I sprinkled some clear glitter embossing powder over it and heated it with my heat gun.  Then I stamped the rest of the sentiment underneath.  There are so many fun sayings to stamp with this "Smile"! What about, "You're my best friend and there's nothing you can do about it". Haha!

I wanted some pretty flowers to go with this one so I pulled out the Peaceful Garden and Peace and Comfort stamp sets and used the flowers and leaves in those two sets.  No colouring on this card, just stamping so nice and simple.

I am entering this into The Flower Challenge #30 which is "anything goes" this month.

And here's a close up of the sparkly "Smile".

The Flower Challenge #28

Hello and happy Wednesday!  This month is flying by so quickly and I almost ran out of time to enter the Flower Challenge!  The challenge this month is to use Pink and Grey!  My favourite combination for a floral card!  It is my friends birthday today so I made her a pretty pink and grey card.
I used the Happy Succulents stamp set from Uniko and stamped it in Twilight (grey) ink from Catherine Pooler and coloured it in with my Prisma coloured pencils.  I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Black Jack (dark grey)  CP Ink.



                                 



I am also entering this card into the Uniko Challenge#51 which is anything goes with an optional twist of Love.  You could say that this card is made with love for a dear friend, does that count!
