Say it with…Chocolate!

So…who is up for a chocolate challenge? Interpret it anyone you like – either using the colours of chocolate, or like I did…using chocolates you can eat!

(tag – ac066)

I made a little folder/box to hold a yummy love heart chocolate. There is nothing better than saying thank you with some chocolate, in my opinion. I white heat embossed some stamps from the Love Birds set. Oh and I got all inky with distress inks as well.

I didn’t know how to close it – I tried ribbon and twine, but they all covered up the sentiment so in the end I went with a clear band made from a cello bag. Not sure I like it, but it was the best I could come up with.

And I hear you say…where is the chocolate?? Well here it is…but probably not for long!

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps Love Birds stamp set
Ink: Distress Inks – Wild Honey, Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade and Fired Brick, Versamark watermark ink
Card: X-Press It Blending card, White bazzill
Other Supplies: Blending tool, WRMK Corner Chomper, HA white embossing powder – ultra fine, heat gun, clear cello bag, Wonder tape, Martha Stewart score board, chocolate, AnnaBelle Stamps 3mm silver metallic sprinkles, Glossy Accents (to adhere sprinkles), foam dimensionals

Just for you and Celebrate

Good evening,

Even though we have just had summer here in Australia, I feel that it never really happened – we had such a mild one where I live! At the moment it is pouring with rain and feels more like winter! So I think it is only fitting that I enter the Cure for the Winter Blues Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. And who doesn’t love a blue and white card?

And while I was at it…I also made a green version.

Supplies:

Stamps: Hero Arts Dots and Flowers (S5213), Hero Arts All Occasion Messages (CL272)
Ink: Distress inks – Faded Jeans, Peeled Paint, Versafine – Onyx Black
Card: Hero Arts mixed folded cards – Hero Hues – Sea and Foliage, Regal Craft card – textured square
Other Supplies: Ranger white Enamel Accents

Thanks for visiting,

Marion

Say it with…Brown, Olive and Mustard

Hi all,

Welcome to another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. Are you up for a colour challenge?

(Tag ac065)

I thought I would struggle with this colour combo, but it actually came together quite quickly. It helped that I had Crushed Olive, Mustard Seed and Tea Dye distress inks. I made two different versions.

I used BBD#7 to create the stripy background. The reeds are from the All Things Grow set and the sentiment is from Fanciful Flowers. The butterfly is made from the new thin twine that Andrea has in the store. Which one do you prefer…I think the first one wins it over for me. I am still undecided about that butterfly!

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps All Things Grow stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps BBD#7 stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps Fanciful Flowers stamp set
Ink: Distress Inks – Crushed Olive, Mustard Seed, Tea Dye, Versafine – Vintage Sepia
Card: AnnaBelle Stamps smooth white card, Kraft card, Dark brown bazzill
Other Supplies: AnnaBelle Stamps 0.8mm light brown twine, Zots glue dots – small, SEI buttons – seasoned, WRMK Corner Chompeer, Fiskars stamp press
