Flutter of Joy...

 Morning folks,

It's been a busy week, I'm just back from my big birthday holiday up north which was fab, the weather was glorious, the scenery is amazing and we actually saw lots of dolphins this time...they were soooo cool!  Only a few more weeks until we are back again!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme for this challenge is "clean and simple".

For my card I have used this sweet butterfly set from Altenew, I stamped the butterflies with archival ink and added some subtle watercolours to the image.  I then added some splashes and sequins to finish.

Pop over to the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog to check out what my teamies have made.

Have a zesty birthday!

 

Hi folks,

Thought I would share this card I made...it has taken me a few days to work out how to work the embossing, stamping and dies together but I am quite happy with how it turned out....might try some pink grapefruit next lol!

The set is from Stampin Up, first I embossed the fruit, then I stamped the fruit on top of the embossed panel...this was tricky lining it up and then again tricky lining up the dies to cut the fruit out.  I stamped little flowers in the background and layered the fruit on top, I added the sentiment and some sequins and enamel dots to finish...no splodges this time!

Thanks a bunch...

 

Howdy folks,

The weather seems to have got a bit milder today, thankfully, I just hope the snow stays away!  Before we go out and about and head for our doggy friendly lunch I thought I would share my latest make.

With my last purchase of Stampin Up goodies I received this stamp set as a freebie...I just love it, it's different but fab...well I think so anyway.

I stamped the carrot layers, added the stalks, some doodles and sequins...so easy and quick!

Hope you like it.

Two cards in one day...lol!

I was on a bit of a roll so thought I would make another card with my new Stampin Up set, not sure about this one.

I stamped the sentiment lightly in grey ink, then I stamped the filled in leaf stamp and then the outline leaf...I actually thought the outline fitted over the filled in leaf but it doesn't but I guess it's meant to look like that.  I then die cut one of the leaves and the half circle...not sure if it's meant to be a vase or just a shape lol!  I layered onto a piece of floral paper I had in my stash that matched the vase (that's what I'm calling it).  Of course a few dots and sequins to finish.

Kiwi hang out soon?

 

Happy Saturday!

Just popping on to share this fun card I have made.  I love this stamp set and don't know why I never noticed it sooner.  The stamp set is from Concord & 9th...isn't it cool. 

I inked up some watercoloured card with lots of water and then I dropped a little green watercoloured ink on top....it was cool the effect it made, so I just kept repeating that process with different shades until I thought it looked kind of kiwi like.  Once dry I stamped the kiwi's and die cut them out and added this fab sentiment...oh and I die cut the hello.  I added some doodled edges in white...never doodled in white before but I think it look fine for this fun card.
