Funky Fossil March Pre-Release Peeks - Cattitude

Oh wow! You are so going to love today's pre-release peek at Funky Fossil's new March release!

These adorable cats are just so much fun to craft with!

For my first card I used the three cats and kept them coloured in mainly simple greys. The colour is all confined to the background apart from the hat.

Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Fossil, Cattitude
Inks: Ranger distress oxide, squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade, picked raspberry, wilted violet
Colours: Copic, RV00, C1, C3, C5, C7; Miya oil paencils
Die: Lawn Fawn, Four Quare Backdrop Portrait

I went super CAS with my next card and chose the cat head and footprint stamps.

I used a Kaleidacolor ink pad for the stamping and then coloured up the cat in matching Miya oil pencil colours.

Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Fossil, Cattitude
Inks: Kaleidacolor, cappuccino delight
Die: MFT Die-namics, rectangle peek-a-boo window
Colours: Miya oil pencils

For my last card today I went all colourful and chose non-typical cat shades!

I added some sprinkles from the Cupcake set that I shared on Tuesday and used another Kaleidacolor ink pad. Sarah asked me if the cat had over indulged at his party because of the green face, but honestly that was not the look I meant to achieve!

Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Fossil, Cattitude
Inks: Memento, tuxedo black; Kaleidacolor, caribbean sea
Die: Lawn Fawn, stitched scalloped rectangle frames
Colours: Copic, YG01, B04, BG15; Miya oil pencils; Wink of Stella, silver & clear

Well that's another day of peeks over and one more left  tomorrow before you can put in your order and shop to your heart's content.

Funky Fossil March Pre-Release Peeks - Cupcake Crazy

Woo Hoo! 

It's time for a new release at Funky Fossil and today I'm showcasing the first of the pre-release peeks at Cupcake Crazy.

Now you know you love cup cakes! And these ones are so cute - can a cupcake be cute? Well yummy then!

My first card uses two of the stamps and some neon bright colours. I created the background panel using the sprinkles stamp from the set and then placed a die cut window over them.

Both the cupcakes were stamped, hand cut and coloured using Copic pens. I stamped the greeting at the bottom of the window aperture and matted it all on to a hot pink card base.

Supplies:

Stamps: funky fossil, Cupcake Crazy

Inks: Memento, tuxedo black; Kaleidacolor, berry blaze, riviera

Die: Pretty Pink Posh, Window Frames

Colours: Copic, E00, E21, E33, C1, YG00, YG01, YG13, R81, R83, R85

My second card uses some more bright and vibrant colours. I stamped, hand cut and coloured the cake using Copic pens and then coloured up a die cut frame to match.

The greeting was put into a smaller matching die cut frame, also coloured with a Copic pen. I added some glossy accents to the hearts and cherries.

Supplies:

Stamps: Funky Fossil, Cupcake Crazy

Ink: Memento, tuxedo black

Die: Lawn Fawn, stitched scalloped rectangle frames

Colours: Copic, BG11, BG15, BG53, RV55, RV66, YR15, YR16

Glossy Accents

My final card features my love of chocolate and some ombre pink cake cases. Well chocolate and pink, what's not to love?

I stamped and heat embossed the three cakes, coloured them with Copic pens and then cut them out and matted them onto die cut squares. The first two are popped up onto foam pads for added impact.

Supplies:

Stamps: Funky Fossil, Cupcake Crazy

Inks: SU, chocolate chip + clear embossing powder

Card: Papermill Direct, Mocha Brown

Die: Lawn Fawn, Four Square Backdrop Portrait

Monday Moment

Today I'm playing along with the new photo challenge at Inkspirational.

Here's my card:

I picked up on the retro vibe colours and patterns from the wallpaper in the photo and used Uniko Style stamps.

The greeting was chosen with these strange times in mind. Hoping the answer is OK!

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Uniko Style, BIG & BOLD Hello
Inks: SU,smoky slate, tangerine tango; Versafine Clair, nocturne

Sunday Slot

Today I'm sharing a card I created to play along with the Stencil Challenge at STAMPlorations.

Here's my card:

I started by creating a background using two Funky Fossil stencils - Treadplate and Abstract Bamboo Background. I chose some bright contrasting distress ink colours and then die cut the panel using a double stitched MFT die.

The images and greeting are from Funky Fossil's Adventure stamp set and I simply stamped them straight on top of the distress ink background. One of the reasons I chose to use distress ink rather than distress oxide ink is because it is easier to stamp on top of, the oxide ink is much more opaque.

I finished off by matting the panel onto black and then onto a white card base.

Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Fossil, Adventure
Inks: Ranger distress, blueprint sketch, lucky clover; Versafine Clair, nocturne
Stencils: Funky Fossil, Treadplate, Abstract Bamboo Background
Die: MFT Die-namics, double stitched rectangle stx

Thanks so much for your time today, I'm so pleased you came to visit my blog.
