Month: September 2019

I had a chance to play along with some of my favourite challenges this weekend before we head out for our Father’s Day celebrations.

First up – Fusion Challenges – Floral Wall. and Paper Craft Crew Challenges #349.

I loved the sketch and decided to use the butterflies from the Stampin Up ‘Butterfly Wishes’ stamp set. I used some Catherine Pooler Design inks, punched them out and roughly layered on my white card base.

Next, Freshly Made Sketches #400 – what a fabulous milestone.

I used a new die from Paper Roses for the center of my panel (over a sponged background) and a sentiment from Taylored Expressions.

Next up, CAS Colours & Sketches #336 and Global Design Project #204.

I was inspired by the three main flowers on Kerstin’s card and decided to place my flowers in the position of the stars from the sketch. I used a set from Simon Says Stamp called ‘Delicate Flowers’ which I coloured with my Stampin Blends and cut out on my Scan’n’Cut.

Lastly is a card for TGIF Challenges #227.

I created an alcohol ink background on some transparent Yupo which really makes the colours pop when overlaid on a white card base. I used a sentiment form Simon Says Stamp ‘Big Birthday Wishes’ which I heat embossed in silver embossing powder.

Well, that’s it for today – off for Father’s Day lunch. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Well hello and welcome to my last week as a Guest Designer roll over at Just Us Girls. This week our challenge is to splash something on your card.

I’ve had a ball playing along with the other JUGS DTs and am sad about finishing up and that is what inspired my card this week – tears – I decided to create a card with a ‘splash’ of rain that sort of looks like tears- LOL!

I used a Stampin Up set called ‘Beautiful You’ which I heat embossed, coloured and masked before I drizzled soe blue water coloured ink down to look like rain. I then used a rain drop stencil to lift off some of the blue colour. I’m pretty happy with how this worked out.

Check out the Just Us Girls challenge blog for links to the other fabulous projects from the DT and come join in our fun and share your project by 11am Friday 6th September (Melbourne time) or 9pm Thursday 5th September (US Eastern Standard time) .

Thanks to the JUGS DT team for having me this past month, I’ve had a blast.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.
