Be Mine

I seem to be making a lot of love cards at the moment, not sure what that means, perhaps I need some more Romance lol.

I had such inky messy fun creating today's card, using Glossy cardstock I inked with some Tattered Angels  Chalk spray and some Dylusions spray and finally some Gold Smooch.

Be Mine Card

I then heat embossed the image of the Lovebirds and the Be Mine Sentiment, from the Bits and Pieces RRD set.

To create the gold background, I used the Checkerboard stamp from the same set, and inked it with Gold acrylic paint, I love the uneven grungeness  :-)

Have a great rest of the week.

Gecko Galz Blue Believe card

July's new releases over at Gecko Galz are just divine :-) 

Today, I'm sharing with you some of the digital stamps from Let them Eat Cupcakes and one of the papers from By the Shore Paper Pack.

I created and ATC in MDS (digital Software) using the paper and some of the stamps, I then printed this out and added it to a card base. I added some pretty details, finally fussy cutting the cupcake out- also from the Let them Eat Cupcakes stamp set.

Don't forget that Leanne at Gecko Galz is giving away some free gifts with every purchase.

Tiger Lilies in Paris

It's that time again- another Craft Room Challenge,  the delightful Julia has set the challenge of Vintage stamping (no cuties please), she wants to see your Vintage stamping style- which for me is Bliss ;)

Tiger Lilies in Paris

My friend asked me to make a special card for her sister's birthday, she adores Orange Lilies and Paris. Orange isn't a colour I often create with, but love how it's turned out, and my friend was thrilled. Lot's of masking and layering of stamps to create the overall effect.

Monochrome Digital Layout

Monochrome LO

Here's a quick Monochrome layout, I've created in Blue tones. This digital page is 8 x 8 created in MDS. I've used new digital stamps and papers from Stampin' Ups new Venetian Collection, this collection is right up my street :-)

I'm entering this over at Just Add Inks Scrapbook July Challenge- Monochrome.

Chalkboard Card

I've been keen to try a Chalkboard card for a while now, I've used a handful of stamps from Rogue Redhead Designs  Relish Reading and Bits and Pieces.

Easy to achieve, I used a white ink pad and pencil on black cardstock. To make it a bit for feminine I added lace and bling.

Hope you're enjoying a good week.

Yellow and Blue make Green at Craft Room Challenge

Time Whizzes by, and as another fortnight passes it's time for a new challenge at juicy Craft Room Challenge, Zoe has given us a colour challenge:

We are going to be quite strict with this one, you may only use the colours Yellow, Blue & Green.   If you are using a support of those colours then it must be white, and the ink you stamp in must be either one of the three colours or black.   No other colours to sneak in please.

I often use green and blue, I felt spoilt for choice though- what to make?? In the end I went with a journal page, the colours have been built up with chalk pastels, acrylic paint and Dylusions Sprays. I used Distress Inks : Peeled paint and Faded Jeans, and Black Archival Ink and Stampin' Up white Craft ink pad.

Lot's of stamps and doodles on here too :-)

Have a great fortnight, make sure you check out the Dt work too :-)
