Winnie & Walter 1st Birthday Challenge - Card 4

This card is based on one of my cards made last year. This time, I've rotated the stamps in creating the rainbow effect. The distress inks I used were Squeezed Lemonade, Ripe Persimmon, Festive Berries, Seedless Preserve, Chipped Sapphire and Mowed Lawn. It took me a little while to work out how many colours I needed as each colour had one full feather and two half feathers inked. The feathers are from WPlus9 and the sentiment are from Winnie & Walter.
I'm adding this card to the following challenges:
- Winnie and Walter First Birthday Challenge - Distress Inks and Patterns with Mayuri
- Winnie and Walter First Birthday Challenge - In Rotation Technique with Kelly
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
Thanks for dropping by. Stay tuned to see what I did with the left over 'Happy' die cut!

Seeing Red

This is another card I made on my WCMD weekend away. We were thrilled that Chupa joined us on the last day of our weekend and she brought all her Penny Black and WPlus9 stamps. We were lucky to be the first ones to try one of the new WPlus9 Christmas collection! I've made this card for Catered Crop's Seeing Red Challenge. Thanks for dropping by!

Rainbow Feathers

A quick card for today's post. I had an idea to do this as soon as I saw the sketch on CAS(E) This Sketch this week. Took me a while to find a bit of time in my Craft Room to finally get done. The images were stamped with distress inks and then sprayed with water. Love the magic with water and distress inks on water colour paper! I'm also adding this card to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes! Thanks for dropping by!

Some more French wines!

I was so lucky to be  the recipient of a stash of French wine labels from Jacqueline. She has made some beautiful cards with wine labels and the labels are so exquisite! I've already blogged one card I made and here are two more that I have made with these labels. They have all gone to my wine appreciating friends!!
Did anyone see that I got Top 3 in Addicted to CAS Gold challenge? This card was originally made for a publication call but was not picked up and then I sent it to Jacqueline to thank her for the labels!!

Fanciful Feathers!

CAS = Clean and Simple (i.e. lots of white space)
I would like to share a couple cards I made a while ago but have not yet blogged. This is made with the WPlus9 Fanciful Feathers. The dies are inlaid so that they piece together like a jigsaw puzzle. The first card is for the Addicted to CAS - Gold challenge. The second card is made with washi tapes I recently purchased in Typo in Kuala Lumpur, using the same technique. I'm also adding these cards to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes Challenge.
Edited to add...
This card won Top 3 in Addicted to CAS!! Thanks!!

Feathers Wedding Card!

I have a few weddings coming up and when I saw this sketch on CAS(E) this Sketch, I knew what I wanted to do. I white embossed the WPlus9 Fanciful Feathers stamp on vellum and fussy cut the two feathers (I don't have the die). I then decided to use a cream card stock rather than a white as the white on feather looked yellow against the white card. I also embossed the edge and sentiment in gold and added a strip of wash tape. I'm adding this card to Stamploration's January Feathers Challenge. Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients:

Neenah Natural White and Solar White, Vellum, MT Tape, White and Gold Embossing Powder, Versamark, WPlus9 Fanciful Feathers and Fresh Cut Florals and gold ribbon.

CAS(E) this Sketch #58

The sketch for CTS#58 has been beckoning me for a while now. I thought I better do a card before it closes tonight. I was very excited when this little beauty arrived a week ago and could not wait to try it out. I've got an order for a wedding card and will definitely use this set again. I only managed to get the stamps but not the dies, so I had to revert to fussy cutting! Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients:

Neenah solar white, WPlus9 Fresh Cut Florals, Hero Arts CL661, 

Hero Arts Inks - Bubble Gum, Green Hills, Passion Flower, Pool

PTI Inks - Winter Wisteria, Plum Pudding

Memento Luxe - Sweet Plum, Dandelion

Ranger Archival Jet Black - my that's a lot of inks!!

Enamel dots from MME, stickles.

Feathers!

I finally relented and jumped on the bandwagon with the feathers trend. I loved this stamp set ever since I first saw it. It has taken me a while to purchase it as I was trying to get the dies at the same time as the stamps, but anyhow, I've got the stamps without the dies. Here is my first card with these lovely feathers!

When I was packing away all the Christmas decorations and cards this evening, I put all the handmade ones aside and took a photo. I was so lucky to be the recipient of these lovely cards from (Top L clockwise) Jenny, Lyndal, Chupa, Lara and Michelle. Thank you ladies, I really appreciate them!
