I’m back with another card using Jane’s Doodles stamps.  You can find it here on the Jane’s Doodles blog. I used the Anemone and Love stamp sets. The anemone (I had to extend the stem with a black marker) was coloured with Copic markers and I thought it looked rather like a poppy by the time I was done with it. I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine black ink and then clear heat embossed it. I made a small slit with my craft knife above and below the sentiment and put the stem of the anemone through the slits.

I had fun making this Jane’s Doodles card and you can find it here on the Jane’s Doodles blog. I’m still on holidays, so I had plenty of time to colour these flowers. They have been shuffled around the card several times, and after about a week, I finally put it all together.

All the flowers were coloured with Copic markers. I used flowers from the Anemone, Daisies and Spring Blessings stamp sets. I did some ink blending in the background and splattered some water on it to give it a distressed look.

I hope you are having a wonderful day,

Hello! I’m back with another card for Penny Black. I really enjoyed making this card – it was a labour of love, as it took me hours, but I love the final result. Water colouring is such a forgiving technique to play with and it was fun to get out my Gansai Tambi watercolours again.

I white heat embossed the Penny Black Poppy Gems stamp onto some watercolour paper then went to town water colouring.The sentiment is from the Penny Black For You die set.

I’m pleased to report that I have survived report writing and school holidays have started! Yay! It has been such a massive term, so it is an awesome feeling to be able to relax and have some time to make some cards. Bring it on!

Hello! Today is the release blog hop for Jane’s Doodles Stamps. You should have arrived from Zrinka’s awesome blog. If you get lost along the way, there is a blog hop order at the end of my post that should point you in the right direction.

Today the DT are showcasing the latest stamp set to the store called Simon. This stamp set is a lot of fun.

When I first get a new stamp set I often look at the sentiments and plan my card around that. I loved the ‘You rock my boat’ sentiment, so I knew that I would use the boat image and then to add some interest I popped the bird on the edge of the boat. My hubby is really into fishing, so with some masking I added the fishing rod in the boat as well. Lots of masking, ink blending and Copic colouring to create my scene.

Next up I wanted to use Simon himself. To be different, I created a wine bottle tag – for the fishing enthusiast in my life…on a bottle of wine from his favourite wine region in New Zealand.

GIVEAWAY:
Jane is generously giving one stamp set of your choice from the store to one lucky winner. Just leave a comment on all the blogs along the hop for your chance to win. In addition to this, there is 20% sale on all stamps in the store. The winner will be announced on Friday.

I have a couple of Jane’s Doodles projects to share with you today. You can find the original posts on the Jane’s Doodles blog here and here.

First up is a little tag which uses the Cake! stamp set and it was super quick to make. I’ve actually had the splattered background sitting on my desk for a while, but it was pretty easy to create – a touch of Distress ink watercolouring and some splatters. I stamped the cake image and didn’t want it to compete with the background, so I kept it fairly plain and just added some shading with some light grey Copic markers. It’s got some shimmer with some Wink of Stella, but it is hard to see in the photo.

Next up is a happy hello card which features the Love Birds and Daisies stamp set. I stamped the hello sentiment repeatedly in different colours but I drew in some lines to help me get things straight. Once again, the little bird shimmers with a Wink of Stella. Boy I love that pen!

I hope you are having a wonderful day,
