Until next time,

You are one in a million at Muse

Hello. This week it is my turn at the Muse Card Club.

You are one in a million

This is something a little different for me as I very rarely decorate the inside of a card. Well I think I have certainly made up for it this time. I got out my trusty punches and put them to work. Here is the inside of the card.

I used Bazzill Swiss dots card stock to add some interest to the punched flowers. The sentiment was computer generated.

Friday Feature – Christmas sets

AnnaBelle Stamps have a great range of Christmas sets and today the Belles are showcasing some of these sets. Head over to the AnnaBelle blog to check out all their projects.

Today I created a wreath using a leaf punch (which I have had punched for over 2 years now!) I just smooshed green ink over them before arranging them into a circle (I drew a circle in pencil to help me). To add some sparkle, I painted the leaves in some glitter glue and then added lots of AnnaBelle Sprinkles and a bow. The sentiment is from the Gifted Swirls stamp set.

Season's Greetings

Supplies

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps Gifted Swirls stamp set

Ink: Hero Arts – Green Hills

Card: Hero Arts notecards – Snow

Other Supplies: Leaf punch (brand unknown), AnnaBelle Stamps Chilli Sprinkles 3mm, 4mm and 5mm, Glossy Accents (to adhere sprinkles), AnnaBelle Stamps 0.8mm hemp twine, Martha Stewart score board, Kindy Glitz Glitter glue

New monthly challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps

Hi everyone,

It is time for a new monthly challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps.

ac174

I do find colour challenges a bit tricky, but once I selected some inks that matched the above colours, it all came together quite quickly. I masked off the heart and stamped away until the whole card front was covered. I added some rhinestones to some of the flower centres to add some sparkle.
