Hey There!

Hey There!  It's Sunday Stamps - and today we have a sketch challenge for you.  I love love love the new watercolour items in the Occasion Catalogue - I don't do well at watercolour, but I'm willing to practise!  For today's card, I have used watercolour paper with Tangerine Tango ink - on my card, the dark centre section has been popped up.

I'm also really liking the new Just Sayin' set with the co-ordinating framelits!

So - check out the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the design team has come up with - create your own project and then link it to the blog so we can enjoy it too.

Here's the sketch….

Hope your days is going just tickity-boo!  Thanks for dropping by!

Pistachio Coral Happiness

It's a colour day at Sunday Stamps today and it's like we're trying to have one last taste of summer colours before covering up with warm fall hues.  Our colours today are  Mint/Aqua, Coral and Gold and I've used Pistacchio Pudding, Calypso Coral and our new Gold Foil Sheet Paper.  I love this gold paper because it's rich but not too blingy.

The card I've created for this challenge was created early enough to use for my one of my techniques this month.  I've used the Secret Garden stamp set and did the Versa Mark Resist technique.  The greeting is from Yippee Skippee.  

I had a bit of a mistake when I was creating this - I put the edglit die down on my finished paper - thinking to have a white scalloped edge.  Instead it cut the edge off and I ended up with a different "scalloped" edge.....That's why the gold Finishing Touch got added - and it worked perfectly.  I love when your mistakes work out.

I hope you have a wonderfully creative Sunday - we are heading to War Horse tonight and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Monochromatic Mashup

It's a bright sunny start to a long weekend and I have one challenge already completed - Thanks to Holly! (LOL)

I love doing the Friday Mashups and today includes one of my favorite "techniques" - creating a monochromatic project and/or using twine.

I haven't used enough of this Core'dinations paper, so I pulled the Pool Party out and was also able to use my last two Pool Party brads. The shoe has been embossed with the Pool Party powder.

I'm heading into Edmonton for the weekend.  My husband has meetings and I get to lounge around.  I have plans to go to the art gallery tomorrow - and of course there's shopping to be done.

Hope you have a fabulous Friday!  Thanks for stopping by to visit.

Howdy, Howdy - just a quick post before I run to work.  

This is one of the cards I'll be doing at my technique class next month.  I went onto Splitcoast Stamper's Tutorial section to see if I could find any new techniques that I hadn't done, and came across the "Puzzle Piece Resist" technique.

If you're not able to attend my technique class on March 8th - HERE is the link to the tutorial.

Gotta run - Hope you have a fabulous Thursday.

Thanks for stopping by - Joan
