Birthday Blooms


As you probably know, I LOVE watercolouring, and this set is just sooooooo wonderful to sit and colour - sigh, so beautiful.  This card is copied from our catalogue and I just love how it looks!!

Vivid Vases 'V' and colour challenge


 

So, I've had fun with these two challenges!  Just Add Ink are challenging us to Just Add 'V', so I've pulled out the great stamp set Vivid Vases and dusted it off for this one!!  And the Paper Players have a perfect colour challenge to coordinate with this lovely watercoloured project!!

I used my clear wink of Stella brush to watercolour with inks onto these lovely vases, but of course, photography doesn't do the final image any justice at all!!  I also added some crystal effects onto my vases, so they just pop right off the page!!


I even used Pool Party and Daffodil Delight to make the green for the leaves!!!  So no deviation from the colour challenge at all!!


And, because I was really having a lovely time feeling artistic with my watercolouring, I've made another card with the same image - fewer colour embellishments on this card!


And there's a little bit of glitter tape on this card!!  Isn't it divine?

And the Pool Party glitter ribbon - so so gorgeous!!

Wildflower Fields DSP


I been having a play with this lovely paper and the coordinating stamp set Flowering Fields.


This are pretty basic cards - mostly using the paper as the star of the show, and adding one of the stamped images and a greeting.



So, what do you think?

Welcome to our Sunday Night Blog Hop.

This week at the wonderful Caseing the Catty blog hop, we are sharing our love of the Sale-a-bration catalogue again!!  For a small little catalogue, I'm amazed there are so many sources of inspiration!!

Hello for Global Design Project


I've really gone VERY simple and basic for this sketch challenge from GDP - and relying on the subtle elements of the Perfectly Artistic DSP and the lovely watercoloured image on the paper.

Sometimes, all I need is a note card that I can write a message onto - and so this card has very little sentiment or embellishment.

Bloomin Heart Valentine for CTC #65


Welcome along to our Sunday Night Blog Hop, and this week we are wishing you a Happy Valentines Day!!   We are sharing with you our inspiration from our Annual Catalogue, Occasions Catalogue or Sale-a-bration Catalogue.


Be sure to hop around and see all the wonderful creative genius that is our Blog Design Team!!


I've been inspired by the wonderful Bloomin' Heart die and the Love Blossoms Suite in the Occasions Catalogue.


See those two cards on the left there.... my card is a mashup of the two!!  I've used the glorious Bloomin' Heart Thinlit Die as my central feature, and then popped my greeting across the middle of the heart like the card on the far left.  I've added a couple of delicious glimmer paper flowers in Blushing Bride and Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper with a divine pearl in the middle.
(sounds like I'm eating my card doesn't it!!!)  My final embellishment is a little bow of white bakers twine under the greeting which comes from our Sale-a-bration Hello stamp set.


Inspired?  Great!  Then join in and have fun with our challenge - simply click on the link below and add your creative masterpiece to our gallery!!


And now it's time for you to continue your merry hop along all the rest of the design team - either forward or backwards - whichever you prefer!!!
