Rosie Posie Sunday

Hello and welcome to my blog this fine sunny Sunday morning!  I finally got a little bit organised and found two challenges that I could enter with one card.  Less is More's challenge is Stamp Layering and CASology's is Cherish.  I chose one of my favourite stamps sets from Papertrey Ink called Rosie Posie.  This is the first layering stamp set I saw years ago and have admired it ever since.  The sentiment is from Summer Bouquet stamp set from Inspired by stamping and I thought it was perfect for someone whom I cherish.  I stamped the flowers with CP Designs Ink in It's a girl and Party Dress and the leaves and sentiment with Mememto London fog.

The Ton Mood Board Challenge

Hello, today I'm playing along with The Ton Challenge.  This month they have a fun coffee mood board.  Since I don't have any coffee themed stamp sets, I took my inspiration from the bottom right tea cup and stamped the flowers from "Sending Peonies".  I silver heat embossed and coloured with my zig markers.  The sentiment is from the "Large Peony 1" stamp set.  I cut around the bottom of the image and adhered my panel to the card base with foam adhesive.

CAS-ual Fridays Think Pink for Breast Cancer awareness.

Hello and happy Friday!  Our challenge this week on the CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog is Think Pink for breast cancer awareness.  I stamped the Pretty Posies onto Bristol card stock and coloured them in with Zig brush markers and water. I die cut them using the co-ordinating Posies die and adhered onto a white top fold card base.I stamped my sentiment from "Dream then do" and the border from "Modern Petals" sets.

Less is More #350 Stars

Hello, my card today is for the Less is More challenge #350 OLC Stars.  I used an old stamp set from Clearly Besotted called Superstar.  I didn't read the challenge properly to start with and I made a card using the matching die set and popped up my stars with dimensionals. Then I had a closer look and realised it is a OLC (one layer card) challenge so I made another one using the stamps. I stamped the stars with my Kaleidacolor Caribbean Sea ink pad and added some glitter using a Quickie glue pen.

And here is my first card using the die cuts and my yupo alcohol ink piece.

Less is More Hot & Spicy #349

Hello, my card today is for the latest challenge over at Less is More.  It's a colour challenge this week using hot and spicy colours.  I have chosen to use some new to me stamp sets from Uniko.  I stamped the flower from Beautiful Blooms II with some CP Inks (Tiki Torch and Tiara) and did some highlighting with my  prisma color pencils. This set does come with a layering stamp but I find it relaxing to do the shading myself. The leaves are from the Natures Treasures II set and I gold heat embossed them.  The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays WTF set.
The gold splatters are from a gold color shine spray from Heidi Swapp. You can check the challenge out here!
