Happy mail

Hello.

I have to post something to a crafty friend and i decided to spice up and recycle an envelope to use.

The envelope was already used so i removed the stamp and then got happy with Paper smooches reflections 2 stamp set and lots of distress inks.

To cover the address that was already written on the envelope i just used a circle die cut which i will write my crafty friends address onto.

After all of the stamping i added some liquid pearls just for an extra detail and one that shouldn't be ruined by going through the postal system.

I am entering this at Paper smooches sparks anything goes challenge.

Hello.

It was my nieces birthday on valentines day luckily she is only 7 so i could play with these fun little characters from Paper smooches. when making her card.

I am entering this card for the anything goes challenge at paper smooches sparks.

I masked the images as i stamped them and then coloured in with copics.

The eyes all have glossy accents and each of the animals is holding a balloon.

The balloons are die cut with the balloon dies from paper smooches.

Thanks for looking.

Paper smooches sparks, get well

Hello.

An almost last minute entry for the paper smooches sparks picture perfect challenge.

I have used Paper smooches stamps and dies with distress inks to create a water colour effect.

I had to go with these flowers from pretty momma set, as they are perfect for the inspiration picture.

I stamped them with distress inks and using a water brush puled the colour from the stamped image. 

In some places i added some extra ink that i had on a acrylic blog

I added the get well word die in gold card as my sentiment.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks friend

Hello.

I have a card over at the make the day special stamp store blog today.

I took my inspiration from the paper smooches sparks  picture perfect challenge.

Rather than my normal clean and simple look I have gone for some layers.

Love this layered look but find it really difficult to do.

I have layered up some patterned papers that i have had for ages.

Then I have used the paper smooches roses die, which holds some twine in place.

The thanks word die is cut twice in black and silver, the black underneath kind of grounds the word.

I stamped the friend stamp from sentiment sampler in black archival ink straight onto the paper.

I finished with some clear sequins from neat and tangled.

Ive coloured them simply with copics and added some glossy accents to the eyes and noses.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for looking.

I hope your wish comes true

Hello.

Its anything goes week at Paper smooches sparks so I'm entering this card.

I used the no line colouring technique to coloured these two from Paper smooches Royal cuteness set.

Its kinda strange colouring without black lines but i like the effect when it works out lol.

I made the background with distress inks and the mini stamps from the same set.

Once the images were added on foam to the panel i finished with some teeny rhinestones.

Thanks for looking.

Sparks picture perfect

Hello.

I'm sharing my Design team card for Make the day special.

 As Ive used paper smooches and followed this weeks inspiration picture i am entering this at Paper smooches sparks challenge.

I heat embossed the patterns from pot porri the coloured with watercolour paints.

I added the sentiment using the thanks word die.

Here's a close up. I covered it with glimmer mist for a gorgeous shimmer.

Thanks for looking.

Shine

Hello.

This card is for the  Paper smooches sparks anything goes challenge and also for Casologys shine challenge.

I have used paper smooches chains die with silver card, I cut it twice then trimmed it down.

I was bit stuck as to how to add the sentiment in the end went with stamping on acetate and then trimmed down. 

I stuck it down with glossy accents.

Then i added some randomly placed teeny flat rhinestones

Apology's for the rubbish picture there is just no light and as were on for thunder storms today it probably aint gonna get any better.

Thanks for looking.

Two kind of sparks :)

 Hello. 

Playing along with two challenges  ...

Casologys electric challenge 

And...

Paper smooches sparks.

Did ya see the connection ? lol 

I used the sketch from paper smooches kinda loosely as i wanted to keep it cas still.

I used all paper smooches stamps...

Boob tubes

Alphadot

Kissables 2

Teen routine

As the shaker card is so very popular i thought the telly's would be a great way to make a mini one.

All images are coloured with copics and pro markers. 

Finishing touches were some twine for the cable and glossy accents on the buttons.

Really struggled getting  a good picture today its kinda sunny but it wasn't helping.

Thanks for looking.

picture perfect

Hello.

Joining in with this weeks Paper smooches sparks picture perfect challenge.

Such a bright bold and fun picture to take inspiration from. 

Initially i was going to make a banner but while looking through my stamps  came across the  tribalation set and thought i hadn't used it for ages so out it came :)

I stamped in archival black ink then added some colour with stampin up markers...you could also use distress markers for this too.

I then spritzed with water from a mini mister and blended a little, bit with a water brush.

Once it had all dried i added a strip of black card with the cheers dies cut for the sentiment.

Thanks for looking.

Nine lives

Hello 

A late entry for the Paper smooches sparks anything goes challenge.

I have used the nine lives set. 

Everything is coloured with pro markers.

It took lots of masking to create the cats all together.

The speech bubble is from he said she said.

Thanks for looking.

PSSparks and colour Q

Hello.

I'm mixing up two challenges with this card.

Paper smooches sparks designer drafts

And

Colour Q 230.

I got as close as i could to the colour q colours as i don't have those colours its not exact.

I mostly followed the sketch from Sparks and used the Botanical 2, Positive strokes and Happy birthday and just a note stamps all from paper smooches which you can get from make the day special here.

Thanks for looking.
