I’m popping in just before the deadline for this month’s Papertrey Ink Blog Hop – Pretty in Pink.

I layered strips of patterned paper onto some white card stock and then to create a softer look, I sewed a piece of vellum over the top. The sentiment is white heat embossed on top of the vellum.

Until next time,

Hello. I am back with another card for the Muse Card Club.

This week I had fun combining lots of different products from different companies – Hero Arts, Papertrey Ink and Simon Says Stamp. I coloured in the flower with a mix of Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.

• Use the Muse card as inspiration, explain your interpretation and link back to Muse.
• Provide supportive comments to at least 3 of your fellow member’s submissions.

Yay, it’s Friday!

It’s birthday week at AnnaBelle Stamps! For one week only, it is 20% off storewide to celebrate AnnaBelle Stamp’s 4th birthday.  The code is – 4years – with the clearance section as the only exclusion.

For this week’s Friday Feature, the Belles are using the newly released stamp set Butterfly Sunshine. It is such a lovely set.

I must admit I don’t use a lot of kraft cardstock – to be honest I find it a bit ‘dirty’ looking, but I thought it worked OK here as it really let the focal image take centre stage. I couldn’t have spaced out the sun rays evenly if I hadn’t used my stamp-a-ma-jig. I have only acquired one recently, and I don’t know how I managed so long with out one! A must have tool in your stash, especially if you are working with rubber stamps like this set is.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects to see how they have used this set – their links are on my side bar.

Thanks for stopping by,

I am back with another card for the Muse Card Club.

I have a very CAS card for you this week.

To create the ombre background I used Copic markers and kept blending the colours together until I had a smooth gradient (see the supplies for the colours I used). I then die cut the word ‘hey’ and used the negative space. The ‘there’ is white heat embossed.

I am so glad that you stopped by today. I look forward to seeing your creations.

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.

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
