USE STENCILS

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts and the optional theme to go with Anything Goes is Use Stencils.

I have used a Gina K stencil called Modern Hyrdrangeas and coloured them with Oxides, Saltwater Taffy and Worn Lipstick.  The leaves are two shades of green from Gina K mini ink cubes.  I have added a Creative Expressions sentiment in gold mirri card and a few gold and pink sequins for a bit of sparkle.

Two winners will each receive three random stencils/sets from those below.

Have a good weekend.  A quiet day for me today. I might watch a bit of tennis and then out for a Sunday lunch tomorrow.

See you soon,

EMBOSSING

Morning Everyone,

A new challenge is starting over at Allsorts and the theme alongside Anything Goes is "Embossing - Heat or Dry". 

I have used Gina K Ruffled Blooms for my card.   I cut them out with their die then embossed and then used the co-ordinating stencil.  I did it this way instead of just embossing onto a piece of card as I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it at first, but it is quite a large stamp so it fills most of the card anyway!  I used various shades of inks, added the die cut to a the white rectangle which had been heat embossed with the sentiment from a Penny Black set.  A lace edger from Altenew was added to the bottom.

The prize is a Lisa Horton Rambling Woodgrain Rose embossing folder and coordinating stencils.

                                               

I hope you can join us, have a good weekend.  It looks as though we're going to have a sunny but cold day here.   I'm hoping to get some crafty time in as hubby is going to watch a football match.

FAVOURITE COLOURING MEDIUM

 Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts today over at As You Like It and we are asking you to share a project using your favourite colouring medium

Copics are my favourite markers mainly because I have used them from the start of my crafting journey and I have lots of colours.  I would like to try pencils some day but I never seem to have much time or, if I'm not happy with the results straight away, patience either!

For my card I have used a Gina K designs stamp set call Wishful Florals, cut them out with their dies and adhered them to my silver frame, which I think is an unbranded die from Amazon.  I've had it for ages so can't quite remember where it's from.  The sentiment is heat embossed and from Pinkfresh Studio.  Clear and purple dots were added for a bit of sparkle.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

BLUE & SILVER

Morning Everyone,

This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme is "Blue & Silver".

 

For my DT card I have used a Gina K Holiday Tapestry stamp set heat embossed in silver onto pale blue card. It's quite a large stamp so I've heat embossed in both corners and added the sentiment, also from the same set, in the centre.  Nothing much else needed, just two mats in silver mirror and blue.

I would like to enter:

Allsorts - I love .... heat embossing and Christmas cards

We Love Stamping - Anything Stamped

Look forward to seeing your entries, there are 13 days left to have a go.
