Summer Burst!

Morning! I'm squeezing every last bit out of summer because it looks like it might be disappearing fast! In the strange thing that is my mind, I wanted to create a Christmas bauble with one of the cookies in the set. Sadly it wasn't quite the right shape. but I'm still working on that one! So, instead I've eschewed the biscuits & gone for summer bursting out of the bottle- using the drink 'line' stamp to act as movement or 'burst'. I've stamped the bottle in acetate & coloured the drink and fruit with Copics. Here's the set

This is such a versatile set- there's a few left- but don't all rush at once- leave a few for the late-comers!

 Will catch you next Tuesday-

Love, Keren x

Lots of Wplus9 ....

Good morning inky friends! Yey it's Friday so that means it's my turn to post over on the Make The Day Special blog today. My card today features quite a bit of my new obsession.... Wplus9!

Firstly I stamped the little bottle from the Milk and Cookies set on to a post-it note and cut out two of the lil beauties to use as masks.

I then stamped the first bottle in the foreground using black ink, covered it with a mask and then stamped the other to the side. I then covered this one up with a mask so I could stamp the cute little polka dots from Borders and Backgrounds (sadly out of stock at the moment, but there is a Avery Elle set 'Ikat' that you could use to get the same effect ) in a light pink chalk ink. 

Then I added the lemonade using a yellow chalk ink. As I figured you should be able to see through the first bottle I over stamped the second bottle in a grey ink so you could see the whole of the bottle but lighter through the first. Straws were added from the Milk and Cookies set and the fab sentiment is from Strictly Sentiments 1 (also out of stock but this could be substituted for Strictly Sentiments 2 or even Quite Like You). A bit of washi and twine and its all finished.

So so loving the milk and Cookies set at the moment so this is not the last time you will be seeing those cute little bottle from me..lol.

Have a great day.

Strawberries and Oreos for breakfast

Hello!

Today's card is made with a whole lotta joy at finally getting this set from Wplus9 :-)

I have been SO excited to get playing with it and this was the first thing I did (still feeling my way around my newly acquired love of CAS-but I took the plunge with this one...that is a LOT of white space! :-o  )

The matching dies line up beautifully with lots of options,even including two versions of the cookies,so you can have them facing one way or the other-genius! 

I stamped the milk container onto the card,then another onto vellum and embossed this with white,tucking the straw between the two layers.

Hope you like it!

And a close up...

Thats all from me for now :-)

Grab yourself some milk and cookies,go on-you know you want to ;-)
