I have some more cards to share for the Online Card Class – His and Hers.

I really loved Heather Nichols watercolour stamping on Day three, so I decided to give it a go. I didn’t end up making a Sympathy card for the female version, as I didn’t have an appropriate sentiment, but I managed to find a sympathy type sentiment for the male version.

I am also entering these into the The Wonder of Watercolor Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Stamps: PTI The Sweet Life Stamp set, Paper Smooches Reflections Stamp set, Hero Arts Live and Laugh Stamp set (sentiments)

Ink: Distress Markers – Worn Lipstick, Dusty Concord, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, VersaFine – Onyx Black

Card: Canson Watercolour paper – 300gsm, Hero Arts folded notecards – Iris and Pine

Other Supplies: Mister with water

Thanks for looking,

Good morning,

I am currently taking the latest Online Card Class – His and Hers. I was lucky enough to win a spot 🙂

This is my Day 1 Homework. I have made a His and Her card, both using the same sketch and both using the masking technique that Jennifer McGuire showed us in her Day 1 video. I had fun playing with my new Jane’s Doodle Stamp set called Doodle Flowers to create these single layer cards. Both of these cards use the set. For the His card, I used one of the leaf stamps and created a background. Does it work as a masculine card?

Thanks for stopping by,

Hello and welcome to Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps. This week the Belles are showcasing the stamp set Love Birds. This stamp set will be 20% off this weekend until Sunday midnight (AEST).

For my first card, I masked off the heart in the middle and then distressed around it using Worn Lipstick. I then stamped the different sized hearts from the set over the distressing. I am currently taking the Online Card Class – Clean and Simple Card Class 2 and was inspired by Amber’s beautiful tree card on Day 1. I took her idea and ‘reversed’ it.

I am entering this into the Anything Goes challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog.

And because the Belles are showcasing the Love Birds set, I have another completely different card that I made a while ago, but never posted. I found it on my computer so thought I would share it.

Edit: And it just so happens that this card fits so nicely into the Online Card Class – Day 4! Ha!

Be sure to drop by the rest of the Belles and see their projects. Their links are on my sidebar.

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,

At the moment I am taking the Stretch Your Stamps class over at Online Card Classes. I am loving learning new techniques and just watching talented people craft. I am a little behind with making projects, but managed to pull something together yesterday using a background stamp as shown on Day 1.

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

I decided that I would also have a play around with some of the techniques taught in the Online Card Class “A Cut Above“. I used some dies from Die-namics called Upsy Daisy. They are not nesting dies, but I still think it achieved a cool effect.

Thanks for taking the time to drop by. Until next time,
