Hi,

Popping in quickly with a card for a challenge. I am entering this card into the current CASology challenge blog where the cue card is Week #6 School.

I used my one and only Paper Smooches stamp set “Smarty Pants”. It is always good to have teacher thank you cards on hand. I try and thank my son’s teacher at least once a term with something special…teachers do a great job and it is so important to tell them (I know as I am one!)

The images are coloured in with Copics and the apple is covered in Glossy Accents.

Thanks for dropping by,

Popping in really quickly with a card for a couple of challenges. I am entering this card into the current CAS-uals Friday challenge CFC064 – On cloud 9 (with things you would see in the sky) and also the CASology challenge blog where the cue card is Bird.

This card has a few firsts for me – this is my first play ever with washi tape and secondly this card only took me about 15 mins to make from start to finish – which is sooooo rare for me. I had an idea and went with it.

Thanks for dropping by,

So I have another card to share with you based on Day 11 (using reverse stamps) from the Stretch Your Stamps class over at Online Card Classes. Super fun! I only own 2 reverse stamps – so my choice was rather easy. I stamped the image in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then coloured in the flowers and birds with Prismacolor pencils. Simple. To make the flowers pop more, I went around the outside of every image with a sharp black Prisma pencil.

I am entering this into the current CAS-uals Friday challenge CFC062 – Back in Black and also over at CASology where the cue card for Week #2 is Happy (ie; Happy Birthday).

Until next time,

Happy Friday to you!

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we are saying it with red, green and white…very festive colours aren’t they?

But alas, I don’t have a festive card for you – but rather a card that is showcasing a new stamp that is being released into the store today called ‘A Beautiful Day’. Cute isn’t she?

My card today highlights a very small portion of this cute stamp…just showing you an example of how you can be creative with your stamps.

If you would like to get inky with this cute stamp, you could be a lucky winner. A Beautiful Day is the prize for this week’s challenge, but if you drop by the AnnaBelle blog at 4pm (AEST) today, you could also be in the running to win this stamp set.

I am entering this into the current Stamp It! Cards The Hello Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the rest of the DT projects. Their links are on my sidebar.

Until next time,

Popping in quickly with another card for the current Hero Arts challenge which has a ‘Thinking of You’ theme. I inked up my new Hero Arts Leaf and Floral background in Versamark and clear embossed. I then used several blue Distress Inks over that…they resisted the embossed areas. I used a MFT butterfly die. Easy! Oh and the dry embossed border was done on my scoreboard.

Thanks for stopping by,

Due to the long (wet and wintery) weekend that we’ve had here in Australia, I’ve managed to get crafty and ink up some stamps that I haven’t had a chance to ink up. I have created this one for the current Hero Arts challenge which has a ‘Thinking of You’ theme.

Using distress markers, I coloured right onto the stamp, spritzed with pearlised water and then stamped onto watercolour paper. Such a fun technique (which I have never tried before!) This is another reason why I LOVE my distress markers! I highly recommend them.
