One More To Adore

 Hi everyone!

So it's almost the end of June!!! It'll be Christmas soon! Lol ! Anyhoo, here's a card I made earlier in the month.....

I started by using a cloud stencil with Distress Oxide ink pads, I think the colours were Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans and Blueprint Sketch. I splattered this with water, the same inks and Perfect Pearls. I let that dry, then used a star stencil with some gold Nuvo Embellishment Mousse, really liked how that turned out!

The adorable stamps are from Mama Elephant, which I stamped on to Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper with Vintage Sepia Versafine ink. I coloured them with my Caran D'Ache Supracolor watercolour pencils and fussy cut them out.

I die cut the letters for the name and covered in Stickles Diamond Glitter Glue and stamped the sentiment with a Versafine Clair ink pad in the colour Blue Belle.

For the finishing touches I used more Stickles Glitter Glue and popped a few gems on too.

Woodland Welcome

 Hi everyone

I hope you're all well. Where on earth did January go? Lol! Anyhoo, on to my card featuring the cutest woodland creatures from Hello Bluebird, which I stamped onto Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper with a Versafine ink pad.

I painted them with my Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils and fussy cut each one out. 

For the background I stencilled on a cloud sky using a stencil from My Favorite Things with some Distress Oxide ink pads in the colours; Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold and Spun Sugar. I also used a slimline background die from Hello Bluebird and covered this with the same inks.

The fab letter dies are from Pinkfresh Studio, which I die cut four times each and glued together for depth. I also did this with the number dies, which are from Memory Box.

After sticking it altogether I finished it off with a few crystal gems and a sparkley dusting with my Wink Of Stella pen.

The inside of the card..............

The box........

Baby Shower

 Hi everyone!

My sister called me on Saturday night in a flap because she couldn't find a baby shower card anywhere and needed one for the next day! What on earth do you put on a baby shower card? Anyhoo, eventually this design popped into my head, probably because there's rainbows everywhere at the moment ;D

So to start with I painted a rainbow! :D  I then used a cloud stencil from My Favorite Things with a Distress Oxide ink pad in the colour Tumbled Glass. 

The word die is from Marianne Design, which I die cut four times and layered for depth and the letter stamps are from Stampin' Up.

For the finishing touch I added some wee coloured clay hearts as a kind of 'shower' effect :)

Thank you for visiting today.
