Hi,
I am back again today sharing another card at the Muse Card Club.

This week I have a card using some of my favourite colours – teals and blues. I created the background by cutting strips in varying widths and adhering them to a panel. I then white embossed my images over the top. The small dots are white enamel accents.

Hello and welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Friday Feature Blog Hop. You should have arrived from Kylie’s blog.

Today, the Belles are showcasing the Squared Posies Stamp set – an older set, but a good one. I have made a Mother’s Day card, creating a soft palette by  water colouring with Distress Markers onto watercolour paper. To finish the card, I scored some lines around the outside with a scoreboard. I think my Mum will love it – she loves blue.

Happy Mother's Day

Say it with Watermelon, Waterfall and Blueberry

Hello and welcome back to another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. This week we have a colour challenge for you.

ac158

I found this colour combo quite tricky as I don’t own a watermelon coloured ink. In the end I found some watermelon coloured patterned paper.

Bunting

I made the bunting using the centre circles from the new Designer Flowers die (I just cut them in half). I sponged on the clouds and the bird is from this stamp set called A Beautiful Day. The gingham background I made from this background set. I used the second one from the bottom, just stamped it both ways.

I think this card has a very country – quilt feel to it.

Supplies

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps BBD#7 stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps Designer Flowers stamp set (sentiment), AnnaBelle Stamps A Beautiful Day Stamp set

Ink: Memento Inks – Summer Sky, VersaFine – Onyx Black

Card: AnnaBelle Stamps smooth white cardstock, Bazzill – Light blue, Dark Blue

Other Supplies: AnnaBelle Stamps Designer Flowers die, Cuttlebug,  AnnaBelle Stamps 3mm pearls, Sponge dauber, Echo Park 6×6 Paper pad – This and That

This challenge will run for 2 weeks and the winner will receive a $15 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store. Hope you will play along with us. Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar.
