Kaisercraft Baby Love

I have a couple of baby cards to share. Two of my friends had baby girls within two weeks of each other. Since trying to organise my Craft Room on the weekend, I came to the realisation that I am hoarding too much patterned paper pads. I love going to the local Kaisercraft store and buying discounted paper pads and Collectables! So I thought I better start using them! The first card below is for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes and the second card is based on the current Fusion Card Challenge Baby Shower sketch. Oh, guess what? No stamps were harmed during the making of these cards! Thanks for dropping by!

Thank You with Roses

I have another card to share using the roses and inks from Altenew and the September Inspiration for the colours. I’m also adding this to Simon Says Stamp - Pop it up challenge. Thanks for dropping by!

Alcohol Inks

I spent an one Saturday afternoon playing around with alcohol inks on Yupo paper and ended up with a big stash of goodies for making a card. I had to make some masculine birthday cards on the weekend and it was great using this stash. Here are two I made with two different backgrounds. I used a black cardstock to off-set the silver 'Happy' die cut and then popped them up on foam tape. I'm adding this to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Pop It Up! Thanks for dropping by!

September Inspiration

It's been a while since I've blogged. So to make up for the long absence, I made a series of cards last weekend as I'm running out of birthday cards! Yes, it has finally caught up with me! I decided to try a cotton blend water colour card for the flowers which were stamped in black and loosely water coloured with my new Altenew Pan set. The background was inked with stencils and then splattered with more paint. The flowers were splattered with white paint from my Gansai Tambi water colours. Thanks for dropping by!

Just a beautiful day

I have a card to share which I made during the week for this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes challenge. The flowers and leaves were coloured (wet on wet) with Altenew inks on watercolour paper and then fussy cut. The background was created with some splashes of the same inks and then a stencil was applied over the top with texture paste. Thanks for dropping by!

Materials
Stamps - Altenew Beautiful Day and sentiment from Floral Garden
Inks - Altenew
Dies - MFT Stitched Rectangles
Others - Tim Holtz Gothic Stencil, Ranger Texture Paste

Bright and Cheerful

I'm sharing a gold embossed card on water colour cardstock. I left the images blank and decided to just drop colours into the the pre-wetted background. It was really easy and fun to make! I'm adding this to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Bright and Cheerful! Thanks for dropping by!
