Horse Love

 

This is a card I made using a new Whimsy Stamp by Crissy Armstrong called Horse Love.

Isn’t this image so sweet!  If you have a girl that loves horses then this stamp is a must have I think.  My girls aren’t really horse crazy (although they do like them) but they both have good friends who are. I think this will be a great card for one of them. (I probably should make another one too!)

I would also like to enter this card into the challenge at Stamp and Create.  Their challenge this month is Birthdays.

Stamps : Horse Love, Treasured Moments Tickets

Card : river rock, pool party, x-press it, paper?

Welcome Favourite

 

This is the third Christmas card my friends and I made at my card class on Saturday.  This one was my favourite, probably because it is using one of my favourite colour combinations : Crumb cake, Pool party, Vanilla and Midnight Muse.  I found a new to me challenge called Loves Rubber Stamps Challenge Blog and their challenge this week was to use your favourite colour combo, so I did :)

Ingredients :

Stamps : Ornament Keepsakes, welcome christmas (MDS)

Card : crumb cake, pool party, pool party coredinations, vanilla, naturals ivory

Ink : midnight muse, crumb cake

Other : big shot, linen thread, holiday ornaments framelits, lacy brocade ef, square scallop die

 

It was quite a lot of layers to cut for a class but I loved the look and they are good friends  :)

Thank You Nature

This week at still addINKtive we have a colour and sketch challenge.



You can choose to do both or just the sketch or just the colours.  We’re flexible like that :)

I stamped the bird onto watercolour paper with stazon and used my aqua painter to pick up some raspberry ink and colour the breast.  The rest of the bird was coloured the same way with crumb cake and then I went over the top of that with some wisteria for the feathers.

The sketch really called for a doily but amazingly I have none! I’ve resisted the doily craze so far :) There are doilies for the big shot, pre made ones and doily stamps.  There are also various circle stamps that could be used like a doily, but I don’t have any of those either! So I just went with the scallop trim edge and I also decided to add a sentiment in place of the ribbon. I have just bought some flower trim though and I cut one flower off and used some wisteria ink to dye it.


Ingredients :
Stamps : Nature walk, en francais, curly cute
Card : white, wisteria, basic grey, watercolour
Ink : stazon, white, wisteria, crumb cake, raspberry
Other : big shot, lacy brocade ef, stripes ef, scallop trim punch, festive paper piercing pack, flower trim, labels framelits


Please take a look at what the very talented design team at still addINKtive have created this week …. and please play along with us.
