HLS September Watercolour Challenge

Hi everyone! Woah, September already?? It's a big month for me - Father's Day on the 2nd and my dad's 60th birthday on the 11th. I am also starting to plan my grandson's 1st birthday party which is in November - can you believe he is nearly 1????

Over at Happy Little Stampers we kick off a new month with our Watercolour Challenge.

Anything Goes but you may like to play along with our twist and use a butterfly or two or three...

Here are my cards (yes I made two lol) -

For my first card I placed a stencil on watercolour card, sprinkled turquoise brusho, misted with water, then lifted the stencil. I used my heat gun to speed up the drying process.

I stamped and die cut my butterfly from some left over card that I flipped the stencil over and pressed the ink on to it. 

I rounded off the edges of this card for a bit of interest.

My second card was created in the same manner but I used orange and yellow brushos.

Supplies Used

HLS Butterfly Birthday

HLS Smile!

HLS Perfectly Succulent

MISTI

Brushos

Here is a video tutorial that I created a while back to show you how to use your watercolours with stencils.

I hope to see you over at the challenge blog!

Inkspirational #166

Time for a new challenge at Inkspirational. Sandie has set a time challenge as her choice for this fortnight. 

Here is my card -

My card is very CAS. A die cut frame, an embossed butterfly (from the HLS Butterfly Birthday set) coloured with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers and stamped sentiments using my MISTI. The sentiments are from the HLS Smile! set.

This card took me about 6 mins to put together. I have to admit that I forgot to set a timer... I did happen to look at a clock, though :)

The 10 mins starts when you actually start making your card-you can collect all the items you need to make the card before you start that clock!

We would love to know how long it took you to make this-just for fun!

Because you can get all your supplies ready, 10 minutes should be plenty of time to create something. It doesn't have to be CAS, just go with your own process.

See you over at Inkspirational :)

HLS June CAS Challenge

Hi everyone, we have a fun CAS challenge for you over at Happy Little Stampers this month! 

We want to Smile! We also have our watercolour challenge with the same theme so if you create something watercoloured AND CAS, don't forget to link up to both challenges :)

Here is my card -

I went with a simple black and gold colour scheme. I embossed the word smile with gold powder and embossed the rest of the sentiment with black ink. The top stamp was masked off a little so I could create my own greeting.

The little hearts are from the Christmas Joy set! Makes it quite a versatile set to have!

I flicked a little black acrylic ink just to break up all the white space but not so much as to take away from the rest of the card.

Supplies:

HLS Smile!

HLS Christmas Joy

HLS Multicoloured Sequins

HLS June Watercolour Challenge

Hi everyone, we have a new watercolour challenge happening over at Happy Little Stampers!

Here is my card -

I smooshed yellow, orange, and rose red brushos onto my panel. I also watered down some gold mica powder and smooshed that in as well. I had a small piece leftover so I stamped a butterfly and die cut it to pop it up on the card.

Once my panel was dry, I used my MISTI to stamp my sentiment. I added my sequins using glossy accents to adhere them. While I had the glossy accents out, I smothered the butterfly to make it all shiny :)

Inkspirational #161

Over at Inkspirational we have a new challenge for you. We have a photo for inspiration and I hope you will play along.

Here is my card -

Here is the photo -

Hmmm, I know you're thinking.... what??? How did this photo inspire me to create the card that I made?

To be honest, I REALLY struggled with this one. I even emailed teamie Sandie for help. Sandie gave me some great ideas which helped, thanks!

I concentrated on the arch of the tree, stamped and embossed my flowers in the same manner, then fussy cut around them. I had planned on colouring them in pink and greens but once I had finished the card, I quite liked the monochrome look.

Supplies -

HLS Doodled Flowers

HLS Smile!

HLS April Watercolour Challenge

Well, hello April! I hope you are ready for a new challenge over at Happy Little Stampers? We always kick off a new month with our Watercolour Challenge.

We would love if you played along with our optional twist but you don't have to. Anything Goes!

Here is my card -

I stamped my sentiment with Versafine black ink and embossed with clear powder. I masked it off and placed a stencil over the entire panel and used my versamark pad to smooch ink through the stencil. I then embossed it all with white powder. 

Using Zigs, I watercoloured the panel to create a rainbow.

Below is actually my first panel that I made but for some reason I didn't quite like it. It will grow on me and end up on a card, I'm sure :)

Supplies Used:

HLS Smile!

I have finally moved house. It took nearly 5 days of solid moving - thank god it was just around the corner! Unpacking has nearly come to an end.

Two Hearts

Hi there everyone. I have made two cards tonight utilising the same die but creating completely different cards. Thanks to the new challenge that Darnell has started called the 'Twofer Card Challenge', I was able to think outside the box. Congratulations to Darnell and her Design Team :)

You will have to excuse my photography as it is 9pm but I couldn't wait to take my pics.

For my first card, I used the die to create an embossed image. I stamped my lion and sentiment using my MISTI.

For the second card, I used the die and die cut as intended. The die comes out in two parts - the stitched edge and the full heart. I die cut twice using glitter paper and white cardstock. I wanted to stamp my sentiment within the heart then pop it up for dimension.

These cards were simple to create and took no time at all!

Stamps:

HLS Born to be Wild
