Cherish Wyanet

The challenge on the Whimsy Stamps Blog this month is to make a card which is Shabby Chic or Vintage.
I don't tend to do that style of card very much.
Possibly my card is a Clean Shabby Chic one?  I'm not sure that's even possible but perhaps I've created a new style! :)

This stamp is called Wyanet (Beautiful) and it's by Syliva Zet.  She really is gorgeous isn't she!
I thought I might colour her with my warm greys (there is just hint of pink on her cheeks) and try to bring a vintage, sepia photo feel to it.

Hopefully you'll join us in the challenge this month, and you may even be lucky enough to win a prize :)

Ingredients :

Stamps : Wyanet, Birthday Letter Seals
Card : suede, crumb cake, x-press it, SU dsp, subtles core'dinations
Ink : memento black, crumb cake, baja
Other : big shot, circle nesties, double scallop doily die, fancy fan ef, crumb cake seam binding, subtles candy dots, fran-tage, copics

Udderly Fabulous

 

I wanted to try to get another card made for the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges at Splitcoast and I have only just got it done in time. Phew!

I decided to use my cute Whimsy cow again.  I love her!

 

 

I coloured her differently this time and used a sentiment from Stampin Up and added the word “udderly” to it :)

I think I will give this to my daughter’s violin teacher to let her know how much we appreciate all the love and effort she puts in to her lessons.      She really is Udderly Fabulous!

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : You Moove Me, Million and One (SU)

Card : x-press it, saffron core’dinations, slate, black

Ink : memento black, stazon

Other : kindyglitz, big shot, square scallop die, fancy fan ef

 

Copics :

W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9

Kind Poppies

 

This week at still addINKtive we have a sketch and colour combo for you.

You may choose to do either colour, sketch or both!

 

Bronwyn designed a very pretty circular sketch which I have been inspired by but I have made mine a square card instead.

 

 

I haven’t used my copics for quite a while now and I was really having withdrawals!  So I thought I would use copics similar to the stampin up colours in the challenge and colour the poppies.  I love this stamp, it is so beautiful and lots of fun to colour. 

I also stamped the Kindness Matters butterfly onto vellum, coloured it from behind with a marker and cut it out.

Ingredients:

Stamps : Pleasant Poppies, Kindness Matters

Card : sahara sand, black, x-press it, vellum card

Ink : white, sahara sand, pip marker, copics

Other : pip satin ribbon (ret.), linen thread, vintage faceted button, white pen, big shot, fancy fan ef

 

Please take a look at what the rest of the design team have created this week and we’d love it if you would play along with our challenge too.

Forever Young and Happy

 

This week at stilladdINKtive we are featuring the Stampin Up set Forever Young.

This is not a challenge week but we would like you to link up cards that you have made previously using this set and hopefully make a brand new card with it too. 

This will be a great resource where people can get inspiration from what others have done with a set. I think it will also inspire us to get out a set that may not have seen ink in a while and use it again.  I know I have a few sets like that because once something brand new arrives I tend to use that instead.

Anyway here is my new Forever Young card :

I really love the tree in this set.  It is so beautiful!

I brayered a background for it.  I used lucky limeade and pool party at the bottom and pip and wisteria at the top.  I don’t know what I’ll do when SU retire wisteria and (especially) pool party, I use them a lot and they make such a pretty brayered sky.  I think I will just have to continue to use them anyway!

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : Forever Young, Perfectly Penned

Card : white, pool party, espresso

Ink : espresso, limeade, pool party, pip, wisteria, white

Other : big shot, fancy fan ef, delicate designs ef, labels framelits, paper piercing pack, brayer, espresso taffeta ribbon

 

I hope you’ll take a look at the wonderful creations using Forever Young at still addINKtive.  Link up your past cards, make a new one or if you don’t have it, let us show you how much you truly “need” this gorgeous set :)

Blue Sparkle

 

I decided to try using the gorgeous ColourQ combo this week to make another Christmas card.

I combined it with a Merry Monday sketch.  They are having a Year in Review where you can use any past sketch. 

I was going to be so good this year and planned to play along at Merry Monday each week so that all my Christmas cards would be done.

Mmmm ….. I really wish I’d stuck to that plan!!!

Anyway here’s the card :)

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : Ornament Keepsakes, Flowering Flourishes, Sweet serendipity

Card : white, pool party, midnight muse, crumb cake

Ink :  pacific point, pool party, midnight muse, crumb cake and turquoise markers

Other : Holiday ornaments framelits, dazzling diamonds, rhinestone, square punch, bakers twine, big shot, fancy fan ef

 

I should have sent all my Christmas cards out by now, but no, I’m still making them!
