Hello! Welcome to another Jane’s Doodles blog hop where the Design Team are showcasing Jane’s latest stamp release – five sets in total. You should have arrived from Milka’s blog. If you get lost along the way, there is a list of blog hop contributors at the end of this post.

Without further ado, here are the five new sets.

Free as a Bird

Hibiscus

Angels

All Occasions

Bear Hugs

First up is my favourite of all the new sets and it’s called Free As a Bird. I had a lot of fun colouring these funky birds using Copics. To create the four windows, I measured everything up and hand cut them out with a craft knife and a metal ruler. I inked behind the windows with Distress Oxide inks, and then I mounted the window panel over the top with 3D mounting foam.

Next up I have used the Bear Hugs stamp set. This is a simple one layer card – stamped and coloured with Copics.

This next card uses the Angels stamp set, and I also used the Thank You sentiment from the All Occasions stamp set. This is a great sentiment set that I will be reaching for often.

It’s hard to capture in the photo, but the angel is sparkly and shimmery, as are the clouds in the background.

Last but not least, I have made a tag using the Hibiscus stamp set, with another sentiment from the All Occasions sentiment set. For something different (as I always reach for my Copics), I used Distress Oxide inks to add colour to the flower using a finger sponge dauber. I then re-stamped the original image again, to make sure the edges were nice and crisp.

Giveaway:
In addition to Jane having a 30% off sale on all clear stamps until Thursday, she is giving a stamp set of your choice to one lucky winner. All you need to do is comment on all the blogs in the hop and you’ll be in with a chance to win! The winner will be announced on Friday. Good luck!

Hello! Today I have a sneak peek of my card that is over on the Penny Black Simplicity at its Best blog at the moment. I hope you will head on over and check it out. For this card I was trying to emulate the very talented Norine Borys. She is one talented card maker and I just love her awesome watercolour style. Make sure you check her blog out as well.

Happy Sunday. I’m popping in with a card using some Penny Black products. I water coloured this floral image from the Penny Black Sublime stamp set with watercolour paints. Once dry, I added some extra shading with Prismacolor pencils.

The sentiment is from the Penny Black Gifts From Above stamp set. The frame is a Penny Black creative die called Stitched Square and Circles.

I added some ink splatters and some twine and a bow – something I haven’t done in a long time.

Penny Black products used:

Penny Black 30-478 Sublime stamp set
Penny Black 30-429 Gifts From Above stamp set
Penny Black 51-422 Stitched Square and Circles Creative dies

I hope you are having a great week.

Good evening. I have another Jane’s Doodles card to share with you.

I took a square panel of Bristol smooth white card stock and heavily blended on some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink. When completely dry, I white heat embossed a flower from the Blooms stamp set, then created a mask before white heat embossing the second flower. The sentiment is from the Daisies stamp set was also white heat embossed. To add some details to the flowers, I first used a white Prismacolor pencil and then added the violet shades over the top.

To finish off the card, I splattered some water, which reacted with the Distress Oxide ink.

Short and sweet from me today.
Thanks for stopping by.
