Happy Watercolor in Pink

Hello Everyone,

We've had plenty more rain overnight, in fact it rained all night and now we are starting to get some stronger winds as the effects of Cyclone Ita move south.  The rain has eased a little for now.  That's why I wanted to make a happy card.  I'm trying to put out some good vibes...lol.

I'm in the pink tones for today's card, thinking pink and Happy thoughts with this card using the Happy Watercolor stamp set (note the US spelling of colour in the stamp title).  It wasn't a typo.

I've tried an ombre look on this card with the 3 splashes of pink over the stamped floral image, after I saw this card on Pinterest.  Have a look at this closeup of mine.



My cardstock is Raspberry Ripple and Whisper White with a little retired patterned paper for the background and retired Blushing Bride pleated ribbon.  I've used the Banner framelits to cut out the sentiment.  You can see this stamp set in our Occasions Mini catalogue on P22.

Here's the full card.



Thanks for calling in today to see my card, so don't forget to leave me a comment while you're visiting.  I love hearing from you.   I hope you have a fantastic week.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
