Hello and welcome to my blog. Today at Happy Little Stampers we begin a new monthly Watercolour challenge - Anything Goes we only ask for you to create with watercolours.  Please pop ove rto the blog for more details and to see the inpiration created by the design team.

For my desing team entry above, I first created the watercolour background by adding 3 Distress Inks onto a rectangle acrylic stamping block, spritzing with water then stamping it onto white card. I heat set it, then stamped with Versafine Black the stamp from Inkylicious - Fairy Toadstool 1. When dry I painted with Rusty Hinge to colour the toadstool.  Added a few black gems and a stamped sentiment. I look forward to seeing your watercolour entry. Stay safe and take care.

For my card, I found on Pinterest, a great place to visit for inspiration, a tutorial for a 'W' Card.  It took me a while to make it, but I am pleased in the end. Materials used are- 5.75 white card. Black and pink card. The printed paper is from a Papercraft Factory CD. Stamps inside are by Craftwork Cards - Fashionista, the girls on the front are by Crafter's Companion Frou Frou design - Two Of A Kind. The girls have been coloured with pencils and Promarkers, then fussy cut, adhered to a die cut pink oval. The sentiment is also a die cut. I hope you enjoy looking at the team's Fancy Folds and see something to inpire you. Stay safe and take care. xx

The challenge for the next two weeks is # 17 Embossing of any type. For more details please visit the blog where you can also check out the wonderful design team inspiration. 

For my card - I used a 7 x 5 in. using it in landscape orientation.  I coloured the background by swooshing several Distress Inks, when dried, I then stamped the Woodware Frosted Baubles stamp with Versafine black ink, I used clear embossing powder, then heat set the sheet. I painted further DIs in places to highlight certain areas. This was mounted onto black card. The small section on the left side of the card are 3 strips of the same background card to add more interest. Finally I added die cut a Christmas sentiment.

 Hello everyone, welcome. Today we begin a new challenge in Alphabet Challenges. For the letter K - we have - 'Kindness' to be used in the sentiment. For more details and to see the inspiration from the design team, please pop over to the blog.

For my card, I used a 6" sq white card, Pink and white 220gsm card. Die cuts  of flowers and leaves. The sentiment is computer generated onto pink card, layered onto white and pink card. I added lots of beautiful pink gems to the flowers and the card.  (Sorry the photo is out of focus).

Things with Tails

 

Hello, thanks for your visit. I hope you are well and staying safe. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz. I have chosen #278 Things with Tails, the design team have some wonderful creations to inspire you, there are lots of things with tails to choose from. Pop over to the blog for more details.

For my card, all of the lightweight card is from a 12" pad from The Works, I love these pads, they are so versatile and are fabulous value. The cat stamps and sentiments were with a Making Cards magazine from way back in June 2018, I've never used the stamps before, I forgot I had them. So much stash, I often wonder if I am addicted to craft or addicted to buying craft stash. How about you?
