I have another Jane’s Doodles card to share with you today using several sets – Love Birds, Garden Friends and Cheers stamp sets. I felt like making a one layer card and thankfully it worked out first go (this rarely is the case with me!) All coloured with Copic Markers.

Cute don’t ya think? Thanks for visiting,

Today I’m popping in with a card that was on the Jane’s Doodles blog earlier this week. It uses the Ahoy stamp set. I did some masking and ink blending to create the sand and water. The images were coloured with Copic markers, then I fussy cut round them before adhering some of them with foam dimensionals.

The school holidays are winding down and I have to start back at school Thursday week. The summer holidays are nearly over. We did manage to get away and we went to Melbourne for 4 nights. It was fun exploring the city and surrounds. And the food we ate! Well Melbourne, you know how to do food. I put up some photos over on Instagram if you are interested – just search for @marionvagg.

Hello. I’m popping in really quickly with a chocolate wrapper project that is up on the Sunny Studio blog. It uses the newly released Sending My Love stamp set.

The bear is coloured with Copic Markers and I added some red Stickles to the heart for some shine. The wrap slips on and off very easily. I may have to make a few more of these and can change up the sentiment as there are loads of different options in the set. Make sure you check it out here.

I appreciate you stopping by,

Hello! Today is the release blog hop for Jane’s Doodles Stamps. You should have arrived from Zrinka’s blog.

Today, two new sets are being released into the store and they are Rain or Shine and Ahoy! Once again, Jane has done an amazing job at designing these sets. I find her stamps so easy to create cute little scenes with them.

Rain or Shine

Ahoy!

First up I’ve created a one layer card using the Rain or Shine set.

I added two layers of Glossy Accents to the umbrella for lots of dimension. Unfortunately the white dots I drew on the umbrella got a little lost underneath all of that shine.

Next up is a card using the Ahoy! stamp set. I had a lot of fun colouring these images (with Copics) and creating this scene. It’s going to be a birthday card for my daughter who turns 6 in December. She is very much a tom boy and loves all things pirates, so this card is perfect for her. It hasn’t really shown up in the photo very well, but there is a very lightly sponged blue sky with clouds. If you squint you may see some of it – it is much better in real life.

GIVEAWAY:

I’m back with a really quick and simple technique using some Sunny Studio products. You can see my post here. I used the Furever Friends stamp set and its coordinating dies, which have some really cute cat images.

If you are not confident with colouring images, or like me, was running short on time, then maybe this could be a technique for you to try. Instead of placing the colour onto my images, I created a really vibrant watercolour background with distress inks. I love the contrast.

To get the background to be so vibrant, I added several layers of Distress inks, making sure to heat set between each application. The colours used from the top down were Barn Door, Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon, a mixture of Ripe Persimmon and Wild Honey and Mustard Seed.

The black sentiment strip tied the whole project together. I love how it turned out – but my daughter just couldn’t understand why I didn’t colour in the cats!

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

The MFT Superstar contest ends in a couple of days, so I thought I would throw my hat in the ring with this card. These cows are just the most adorable critters! I love their goofy expressions and when I added the googly eyes – well I just had to giggle! It is like they are saying ‘oooooohhhh’. They are coloured with Copics and a Memento marker (as I don’t own any black Copic markers – I’ll have to remedy that soon). The stencil is also from MFT and was sponged with black ink. The blue background was a scrap piece of water colouring that I had laying around.

My Dad would love this card. He is a farmer who has a really dry sense of humour and a punny sentiment is right up his alley. Well that is one birthday card made for next year!
