Tuesday Talk

Today I'm entering the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge at STAMPlorations.

I used one of their fabulous digi stamps that is just perfect for this theme.

I printed it out onto buff card to get the autumnal feel and colours onto a good start. Then I used Inktense watercolour pencils to add more colours. I die cut this panel and then matted it onto orange pearlised card and finally onto a dark brown matt card base.

Supplies:

Stamp: STAMPlorations, Better Than Autumn

Card: Papermill Direct, buff, daiquiri cocktail, mocha brown

Die: Polkadoodles, Posydoodles Squares

Colours: Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils

Today I'm sharing a card I created for the STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge.

I was inspired by the colours and the segment lines on the citrus fruits.

I used the butterfly cover plate from CUTplorations as my starting point. I trimmed it down and adhered it to black card and added colour using Arteza brush pens. I matted it onto a thin green layer and then onto black and finally another thin green layer.

I stamped out the greeting from Brave One and then chopped it up and used part of it on my card.

Supplies:
Stamps: STAMPlorations, Brave One
Die: CUTplorations butterfly cover plate
Inks: versafine Clair, nocturne
Colour: Arteza brush pens, orange, red, bumblebee yellow

Today I'm playing along with the March Theme & Prompt Challenge at STAMPlorations.

I was inspired by the pinks and have included a flower image as my nod to Nature.

I started by creating a background using two Funky Fossil stencils - Watercolour Lines and Dotty Grid and two colours of distress ink.

Then I stamped part of the image from Funky Fossil Beautiful Inside and Out and coloured it using Copic pens, adding detail with a brown Miya oil pencil. I hand cut this image and placed it on top of the background and finished off with a stamped sentiment.

Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Fossil, Beautiful Inside & Out
Inks: Ranger distress, picked raspberry; SU, rose red; Memento, tuxedo black
Stencils: Funky fossil, Watercolour Lines, Dotty Grid
Colours: Copic, G85, RV04, RV09, RV17, RV55; Miya oil pencils, brown

Thanks so much for looking today, I'm always thrilled to have some company.

Keep safe, stay indoors and craft instead!

Well as I'd entered the other two STAMPlorations December Challenges I thought I'd make it a hat trick and enter the Theme & Photo Challenge too!

I went with the photo part of the inspiration graphic and focused on the brown background and teapot colours.

I used a sheet of brown texture patterned paper for my background and stamped the Uniko tea cups onto paper from the same paper pad. I then cut them out and adhered them above the sentiment flag.

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, I Love Tea
Ink: SU, early espress
Die: MFT Die-namics, stitched fishtail flags
Paper: Basic Grey, Hopscotch

You're an absolute star to come visit my blog today and I'm very appreciative of your time. thanks so much.

And keep crafting!

Today's share is a card I made for the Theme & Photo Challenge at STAMPlorations.

Here's my card which picks up on the colours and circles from the photo.

I used a stencil for all the background circles and inked through it with Stampin' Up Early Espresso. I then removed the stencil and applied a layer of Cosmic Shimmer mica powder. It really catches the light in real life.

My stamp element for this challenge is the greeting. I heat embossed it in white onto some brown card stock  which matches the base card.

Supplies:

Stamps: sentiment from Funky Fossil, The Quick Brown Fox

Inks: Versamark clear + WOW! opaque white embossing powder; Cosmic Shimmer mica powder, sapphire ultra; SU, early espresso

Stencil: Funky Fossil, Circle Burst
Card: Ppaermill Direct, mocha brown

I'm so pleased to have had you visit my blog today, enormous thanks.

And keep crafting!

Today I'm sharing a card i made for the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge at STAMPlorations.

I was completely smitten by the black background and vibrant colours and based my card very much on this. I hope you like it!

I used the brand new Uniko Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas stamp and heat embossed it in white onto black card stock. I added colour using my Prismacolor pencils and trimmed the panel down to fit behind a die cut frame.

No surprise that it was the purply pink colour that mostly caught my eye and I chose this colour for my base card and sentiment banner.

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas, Festive Sentiments Outlined
Inks: Versamark + WOW! opaque bright white embossing powder; Versafine Clair, nocturne
Dies: MFT Die-namics, stitched fishtail flags; Lawn Fawn, stitched rectangle frames
Colours: Prismacolor, Spring green, canary yellow, process red

Thanks so much for dropping by today, it's always so much more fun when I have company.

And keep crafting!
