Hello! Welcome to  Jane’s Doodles spotlight blog hop, where we are showcasing the following two stamp sets.

Smile

DoNUTS

First up I have made two cards using the Smile stamp set. These cards each have an action wobbler and when this is combined with google eyes, well, you get a whole lot of FUN!

Next up I have created a card with a watercolour panel made with several Distress ink colours. I love getting all inky with the water splatters. This card features the new DoNUTS stamp set.

GIVEAWAY:
Jane is giving away both stamp sets to one lucky person. Leave a comment an all the stops along the hop and you could be a winner. Jane is also having an Easter sale that starts April 3rd, where all clear stamps are discounted by 30% (only over the Easter weekend). So what are you waiting for?

Popping in quickly with a card for Jane’s Doodles. I masked off a circle on some watercolour paper and then went to town with some Distress Inks and a paintbrush. The Fox is from Jane’s Doodles Hello Friend set and the sentiment is from the Doodle Flower’s 2 stamp set. I think it looks like he is sitting in front of a huge moon!

Thanks for visiting my blog today. Until next time.

I was determined NOT to make a blue card for the Muse Card Club this month. Looking through my last Muse cards, blue seems to be something I gravitate too! So how about a dose of yellow for this month?

These sweet birds (coloured with Copics) are from the Penny Black ‘Woodland Friends’ Stamp set and the sentiment is also from a Penny Black set called ‘Live it Up!’. I created the background by creating a wash with Distress inks, and once dry, flicked on some splatters with a paintbrush.

Hope that you will be able to find some time this week to join in on the fun.

I am feeling somewhat under the weather at the moment, so not much creativity has been happening of late – just a lot of coughing and sniffling. But a couple of weeks ago I did manage to create my very first shaker project – a tag! I have been watching and admiring this trend for probably over a year now – and not being one to jump into things too quickly, I decided it was FINALLY time to give it a try. After all the videos I’ve watch on shaker construction, one would think I would be able do it first time round, but it still took me 3 goes to get it right. But I do think it is a lot of fun! My daughter gave it the nod of approval and was very happy to claim my reject attempts.

And I just realised that I never posted my last Jane’s Doodles tag using the adorable Seamus stamp set. This guy makes me smile. I think the guy in the top left certainly does have crazy eyes as Jane mentioned in the post 😉 Crazy in love maybe?

Thanks for visiting. I do appreciate it,

Today I am back sharing a card using some of the new Penny Black products from their latest release Bring on the Happy.

I have created a fun scene using the Live it Up! stamp set and paired it with a sentiment from the Sprinkles and Smiles stamp set. I coloured in the balloons with Copics and added some clear Wink of Stella glitter pen for some subtle shine. I masked off a circle and blended in some Salty Ocean distress ink to create the sky.

Penny Black products used:
– Live it Up! stamp set
– Sprinkles and Smiles stamp set
