Wild Card Wednesday ~ Kelly's Colour choice

Today over at Club Anya & Friends it's Wild Card Wednesday and this is one of Kelly's Favorite colour Combo's... Melon Berry, Chocolate and Aqua to inspire...

So this yummy BasicGrey paper inspired me to dig out an old greeting farm set 'pretty hat' although 'wild things' would have been perfect too (if I had it). I just love the characters included and they're adorable for any occasion! I have coloured them with my copics to co-ordinate with the challenge colours.

Supplies: Patterned Paper: BasicGrey: olivia;

Stamps: KennyKdigis: Mad Skillz; The Greeting farm: pretty hat;

Ink: memento: black; Copic: markers*; Ranger ~ distress inks: antique linen;

Dies: Spellbinders nestabilties: squares;

*bunny: R20, 23, 43, RV34, doggy: E35, 47, 74, kitty: BG11, 13, G12 and a little colourless blender!!!

I have followed the Clean & simple sketch #98  for my card...  I moved the sentiment down just as it would cover up the images! Thanks so much for stopping by, I will have a card for Quixotic challenges later so hope you can pop back then too!!!

'Journey' ~ Second day of Club Anya & Frends Preview's

Well Good morning, it's our second day of previews and we're introducing another addition to the adorable Oliver and Amelia collection... 'journey'. We also have a sketch to inspire you designed by Jess over at Club Anya & Friend's.

My post is a little picture heavy today,

I wanted to show you all the bits, tee hee!

How stunningly adorable are these two?

I've used Amelia and she just made me think of vintage chic!

The papers helped, they inspired the colours of Amelia's best travelling outfit!

I made these little air dry clay embellishments a while back and they were great to accompany the canvas flower. I've added a little pearl brad and pearl paint to highlight!

The ticket stub uses one of the sentiments in the set and I have doodled the black outline plus a little dotted line.

For my luggage tag gift tag I have cut first from kraft, black pen doodling and inked the edges. For the image I have stamped onto patterned paper and coloured the background with distress ink. I managed to recolour the ribbon with distress ink, to co-ordinate too.

Supplies: Patterned Paper: pink paislee: bayberry cottage; PTI: Kraft;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: OA~ journey(available 1st July); PTI: polka dots;

Ink: Memento: black; Copic: markers*; Ranger ~ distress inks: Victorian velvet; old paper;

Wild Card Wednesday ~ Summer

Wow good morning, Lots to share this Wednesday LOL, like WCW, WOYWW, 2S4Y, Mad for Markers...

For WCW this week the talented Kelly is challenging you to create a project with a summer theme using as much yellow as possible... So I HAD to use Summer from TGF Roll Call Set and I've used plenty of yellow! so fun. I went for a picnic theme really, the gingham fits in so well. I then coloured the pretty Summer using my copics (of course), gave her a little grassy garden and even managed to colour the whole sky background! I've attempted feather blending on her outfit and a little on her hair. Which fits in nicely with the challenge over at Mad for Markers challenge. And in  case you can't see it, I have used Laura's wonderful sketch over at 2Sketches4You. Just budged the ribbon down a little to hold the cute sentiment!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: October Afternoon: fly a kite;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: Roll Call - Summer + sentiment;

Ink: Memento & archival: black; Copic: markers*; distress ink: old paper; inkessential: white;

Dies: Spellbinder's nestabilties: scallop circles; tags; Fiskars: border punch; MS: punch

Other: Offray: ribbon, adhesive gems; 3D foam;

*Skin: E000, 11, 13 & R20, eyes: G12, Hair: E50, 51, 35, 97 Outfit: R22, 37, Y35, E97, G12, The grass: YG67, 93, G29, Y35 & BG0000 for the Sky and I use my colourless Blender throughout.

What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday

Now, I've been eager to participate in WOYWW for ages... so took the opportunity to snap a quick picture of this desk. OK so it's not my usual desk this is the dinner table but it's so nice to bring things out here and have the wonderful help for my adorable assistant to mount and organise my growing stamp collection.

I like to laminate the image card as the stamp clings so well to the back. Then arrange in a drawer...

Here's Dillon waiting so intently for the laminator to do its job, LOL

Now here they are in there new home organised and tidy, I have a draw just for Anya stamps now as well as one for The Greeting farm LOL (not that I'm addicted or anything ;)

See... I have other stamps too, which I organise pretty much the same way and if I don't have an image card I simply stamp my own!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today and hope the middle of your week will be creative and inspiring too, HuGs Kim :)
