Just Saying Hello

Hello everyone,

I'm playing along with the Inspired by All Little Things Challenge today.  

Such a lovely image.  The soft colours are inspiring.

My card today features the Large Peony 1 stamp set from The Ton.  This is the first time I've used this stamp even though I've had it for a while now.  So glad I did. 

Did you know that you can watercolour with the Sakura Gelly Roll pens?  I used the green which is a metallic get pen and the pink is a glitter gel pen.  I blended them with a water brush.  I didn't have to add any glitter as you can see there is enough.  Which is great!

I used SSS intense black in to stamp the sentiment and to finish off the card I added droplets and clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge 7

Hello everyone,

We are back with Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge 7.

My choice is DECORATIVE FRAMES/HATS/KRAFT

I have to admit that I started this card about 5 times. I know when I first started card making, I couldn't understand how the pro's could get those videos done in one shot or how on earth do they get all those cards done so fast.  But then I started to realize that it's not always easy for them either.  The reason I say this is to encourage you to keep going when you feel like you just can't do it all.  We ALL have our days and this was one for me but I got though it.

I started out with the crown instead of a hat because don't we all have a crown?  I coloured those in with R000 and R20 then added the stickles as the gems.

I took the frame die and cut out a wood-like patterned paper and popped it up with foam tape to frame the crown.  I then took the Fabulous die and cut that out of kraft paper and glued it down with Tombo mono.  I stamped the YOU ARE with Memento and added in the sequins.  I added the stickles to the middle of the sequins for interest.   

I am also adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday - Anything Goes.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to link up your projects, we love to see what you create.
