Wednesday Words

Today I'm sharing a card I created to enter the challenge at Perfectly CAS.

One corner is a favourite card design of mine and here's what I came up with:

I masked off a corner on my card front and inked it up with three distress oxide colours. Whilst it was still masked off I placed the Dancing Dandelions stencil from T4TD over and inked through it with one of the oxides I used for the background - love th subtle look this tone on tone inking gives.

The cute little bunny with his pot of honey, the bees and the sentiment are all from T4TD All Occasion Critters.

 

Supplies:

Stamps: T4TD, All Occasion Critters

Ink: Memento, tuxedo black; Versafine Clair, nocturne; Ranger distress oxide, tumbled glass, cracked pistachio, squeezed lemonade

Pens: Copic, C1, C3, B00, R20, Y38, YR68; Sakura black & white glaze

I'm so pleased that you stopped by my blog today, huge thanks.

Monday Moment

Is the sun shining where you are? If not may be this card will bring a bit of brightness to you.

It's going into the challenge at Addicted to CAS.

As well as being super bright it's also a really quick make. I simply die cut the sun ray using the T4TD cover plate die, chopped it in half to fit the corner and backed it with a scrap of yellow card. 

The sentiment is from an old Pink & Main stamp set called Sunny Hello.

Supplies:

Stamps: Pink & Main, Sunny Hello

Ink: Versafine Clair, nocturne

Die: T4TD, Sun Ray Cover Plate

Remember if you should wish to buy this die from T4TD you can use code T4TJANE10 to get 10% off.

Saturday Slot

Today I'm sharing a card I made that was inspired by the photo at Time Out Challenges.

Here's my card:

I used a scrap of stripy paper that was left over from a scrapbook page and still out on my desk - how opportune was that?

I then added in some of the Funky Fossil Ferns that I die cut from their gorgeous Mixed Media Kaleidoscope paper. They reminded me of the potted plants in the photo.

The sentiment is from Small Print and I matted the whole thing onto a dark blue card base to echo the floor from the photo.

Supplies:

Stamps: Funky Fossil, Small Print

Ink: Versafine Clair, nocturne

Dies: Funky Fossil, Fern

Paper: Funky Fossil, Mixed Media Kaleidoscope; scrap from my stash

Time to put that right!

I pretty much followed the sketch exactly, just had to flip it because of the direction of the photo and substituted stars for the circles.

Dies: MFT Die-namics, Cute Cameras, Lucky Stars & Wow; Lawn Fawn, hearts
