Watercolour thanks

Hello.

The last Flickr challenge from Simon says stamp was  watercolour.

So i made this simple set.

I actually made these last week and have only just managed to get them uploaded, the challenge is about to finish but you could still check out the new one tomorrow.

This first card is my favourite of the three different colour ways.

They were really simple to make i die cut the "thanks" from water colour card and added some colour using Zig clean color pens and loosened it with some water.

The only other detail is the card base. 

I use co-ordinating distress inks to add an ombre effect.

I like the simplicity but i think i will be adding some clear sequins before sending them.

Thanks for looking.

Have a furry Christmas

I made this card for the simon say stamp flickr challenge.

You may have already seen this on my instagram.

Anyone else struggling for light in the short winter days?

The challenge is Christmas of holiday themed projects.

This is the only Christmas stamp i have from Simon says stamp and although i have coloured it once before this is the first time ive made it to a card.

I coloured the stamp with copics and fussy cut out.

I lace it onto some patterned paper before adding the die cut panel.

The panel ha a pattern using the stars and dots stencil and i also added lots of glimmer mist.

I didn't want the card too white.

The sentiment is also from the same set and i stamps and fussy cut it before adding to the card with foam tape.

Thanks for looking.

Simon says stamp flickr challenge

Hello.

The latest challenge from Simon says stamp over on Flickr is a colour challenge,

Black, white and yellow.

I had a really tough time getting the photograph to capture the yellow. 

It is nearly all squeezed lemonade distress ink. 

The bottom left corner i wanted to make an ombre yellow so reached for my fossilized amber ...or at least i thought it was till the blender touched my card and bam i tried to get the colour to lighten and wiped it to get it off but no! 

So there is a teeny bit of orange.

I guess for a craft accident its not the end of the world ...could have been  any other colour and it wouldn't have worked lol.

Any way i made the background using a Simon says stamp stencil.

Careful not to cover all of the card base.

then i stamped the flowers in black ink randomly.

Then i masked them all before adding the rest of the colour.

While the mask was on i did flick some gold glimmer mist onto my card.

To add some last extra details to my one layer card i used some black and yellow enamel dots and some clear sequins.

The centres of the flowers i coloured with a black wink of stella pen and covers with glossy accents.

Thanks for looking.

Play with pastels.

Hello.

I made today's card for the Simon says stamp Flickr challenge.

This is challenge #26 and the theme is Play with pastels.

This is my first time using this Happy Meowday stamp set ...and Ive had it a while ..oops!

I stamped the image in black archival ink onto water colour card then stamped just the box another two times.

All of the images are coloured with zig clean color  pens and water brush.

I the fussy cut them out and added to my distress ink coloured panel with some foam tape.

I added lots of wink of stella onto the boxes and some clear sequins to finish.

Thanks for looking.

Simon says stamp Flickr challenge #25

Hello.

I found some time to join in with the Simon says flickr challenge.

The current challenge is "White on white with a touch of colour"

I went with gold as my touch of colour and use perfect pearls and and Encore gold ink along with some lawn fawn gold twine.

I used an embossing folder to create some texture and added some gold perfect pearls splatters. 

The flower was stamped in black archival ink and then coloured with the perfect pearls too.

I added the sentiment on a plan strip of white card and stamped in gold ink.

The finishing touches are gold liquid pearls and the twine.

Thanks for looking.

Moo-tiful birthday

Hello.

If you follow me on instagram you ma have already seen part of this card.

I made if for the Simon says stamp Flickr challenge and combined it with Kathy Racoosins' fun 30 day colouring challenge.

The challenge is "summer" so i used flowers.

I stamped the cow and then added a mask around him before i stamped and coloured the flowers.

All of the colouring is with Derwent coloursoft pencils and the blue background is distress ink.

Thanks for looking.

SSS Flickr challenge #19

Hello.

I missed the last challenge from Simon says stamp over on flickr so I am getting in early with this one :)

The new challenge is to make your own background.

I actually started making a shaped card and heat embossed a pattern then decided I didn't like it lol. 

So i started again and am much happier with this one.

I made the background with a Simon say stamp exclusive stencil and some green distress inks.

I then stamped the flowers also with distress inks and then heat embossed the outline in platinum.

After i fussy cut them and placed them on the patterned panel i stamped and heat embossed the sentiment also in platinum and added over the flowers.

Then i finished with some clear sequins.

Thanks for looking.

Watercolour birthday

Hello.

I made this card for two challenges. 

Firstly Simon says stamp flickr challenge #16 watercolors 

And

Sparkle and shines challenge with this lovely inspiration picture.

I really wanted to focus on flowers and just got this Artful flowers stamp set from Simon says stamp and some peerless watercolours.

I heat embossed the outlines with wow glitter gold embossing powder then water coloured i love the vibrancy from the peerless as my first try i am really pleased with them.

Once that was dried i die cut the happy die cut from Winnie and Walter. 

I filled the space underneath with the pretty pink posh birthday bash sequins.

To join in with the flickr challenge just head to the simon says stamp flickr group and add check out the details.

I was thrilled to win the  last Sparkle and shine challenge cant believe my luck :)

Thanks for looking.

SSS Flickr challenge #12

To see my Winnie and Walter leading lady post please scroll down or click here.

Hello.

My card for today is for the Simon says Flickr challenge #12 

This challenge is "So sparkly".

I used one of the Simon mini stencils with some texture paste and while the paste was still wet just sprinkled some dazzling diamonds on before letting it dry.

Its a very messy technique but so worth it for the beautiful sparkle.

I added the little dog from "your pawesome" stamp set and he is coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

I kept it all very clean and simple and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in black archival ink. 

To finish i added some glossy accents to the dogs eyes and nose.

If you want to join in just upload a project using at least one Simon says stamp exclusive  to flickr and use the tag #SSSflickrchallenge#12 

Thanks for looking.
