The Best of Things………

Challenge - Anything Goes, High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, , ,

Welcome OCS fans;

I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and had a chance to enjoy the Canada Day festivities.

For today’s card, I have used several techniques and different mediums.  The stamp I used is called The Best of Things from High Hopes Stamps.  I coloured this with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers.  The main background paper is a piece of sheet from one of Heidi Swapp’s paper pads that was foiled using the Minc Machine and Holographic Reactive Foil.  The strip of paper on the left hand paper was created using a Tim Holtz stencil called Trellis.   Lilac Lavendar and Spring Green Nuvo Mousse were used to add colour.  Doing this was trial and error.  The mousse which has a pearlescent effect has a creamy and smooth like butter texture.  I found it went on quite nicely if I used a piece of cut and dry foam instead of a spatula.

Supplies used:

There is plenty of time to enter this month’s “Anything Goes” challenge for a chance to win 2 unmounted High Hopes Stamps of your choice.

Do make sure you drop by on Saturday, July 15th for High Hopes Stamps newest release.

Until next time, happy crafting.

Hello and welcome back OCS fans, to another crazy Tuesday;

As school will be done in a couple of weeks, this means that summer has arrived.  Children will be having some fun from no school work and this also means that this is the season for weddings.

For my card today, I have used the Just Married stamp and an awesome sentiment which says it all  from High Hopes Stamps.  I added some Nuvo Snow Glow Sparkle Dust around the border of the Scalloped Labels 1 Die as well as on her veil and dress.

Guest Designer Special Request

Guest Designer, Uncategorized, ,

I recently had a special request from a friend that was on my current design team to participate in their wonderful blog as a guest designer.

Karen Day from Inspired by All the Little Things asked me to post something that I was inspired by from the following photo:

For me a window box full of colourful flowers means that spring is here and that summer is almost here as well. Also spring signifies a new beginning as flowers and plants start to grow and then bloom for the rest of the summer.

The stamp is “Pansy Window Box Frame” which is from High Hopes Stamps, was coloured with Copic Sketch Markers. I trimmed the image down and used a 1/2′” corner rounder.  Rhinestones were added to the center of the flowers.  The paper is from Heartfelt Creations Butterfly Melody Collection.

 

Showers of love…..
