$20 Gift Certificate

For my card today I just received the MFT Ewe are the Best stamps and dies in the mail and I haven't been able to put them down since.  Those sheep are adorable and sweet, I thought I would do up a tag.

I inked up a swiss dot background stamp and used cotton candy ink which is a very pretty pale pink ink and then cut out a tag from it.  I stamped and die cut the sheep, tree, flower and ground and coloured them in with my copics.

I popped them up on foam tape and added some wink of stella glitter marker to the heart and flower and the added glossy accents to both as well. I stamped the sentiments with Versafine onyx black ink and used a bit of ribbon and added it to the top.  I didn't have a whole punch big enough for the ribbon so I racked my brain for a couple of minutes trying to figure out how I was going to get this on the tag.  Then the light bulb went on and I thought of my Tiny Attacher.  I love it but never use it.  

Thanks so much for stopping by, be sure to head over to the blog and link up your project!  We LOVE seeing what you come up with!

See you again soon!

January Stamp and Share Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello everyone,

I'm back with our monthly Stamp and Share challenge and our these is Anything Goes. 

I'm taking the latest Online Card Class and it's advanced water colouring so I thought I would apply one of today's techniques.  It was bringing images to the front and give them more dimension.  So that is what I did with the butterflies from the Dandelion Dreams  stamp set.  

I stamped the images in a medium grey dye ink and on this water colour paper it resisted the paint a bit then I let it dry.  I then went back in and added the same colour but just around the butterflies and then pulled out the colour to give that dimension.  I added the sentiment in chocolate ink and added some sequins in a few shades of brown and gold.

Don't forget to head over to the Skipping Stones Design blog and add your project to the linky.  We can't wait to see what you've created!

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Lawnscaping Challenge #122 - Watercolouring

Hello everyone,

I'm back with a card for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge - Watercolouring.  I love this medium as it is so much fun and so forgiving.  

I watercolored the front panel with spun sugar distress ink and then sprayed it with water to give it those awesome droplets.  I used the stitched oval dies and cut out the panel and popped it up on the cards base and on top of pink embroidery floss.

I used the Lawn Fawn Baahumbug stamp set and I fussy cut the sheep, coloured it in with my copics and added the liquid appliqué.  I bought the liquid appliqué a while ago and I've been going nuts with it for just about everything white.

Love how the texture came out on this sweet little sheep. There are two ways you can use this, one is to simply let it dry and it will dry with dimension and shine and the other is to hit it with a heat gun (tool).  When you heat it up, that's where you get the puffiness and it is SO much fun to watch grow.

I coloured in the little heart with my copics and added some Wink of Stella, because I just have to and added it to the sheep. I then added the sentiment to a banner from Plus 9 that I cut out of white card stock and added it to the oval.

I added some sequins from Lucy's Cards and added some glitter enamel dots to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

AAA Cards Game #56 - Winter Wonder

Hello everyone,

We have a new challenge up on the blog and it's Game #56 - Winter Wonder.

Make it Crafty is our sponsor and you have a chance to win a $15 store credit.  

Click on the image below to see all the amazing products they carry. 

For my card today I used a digi stamp from Make it Crafty and this one is called Winter Sign. 

I know how sometimes winter can be cold and we tend to stay in a lot more so I thought I would make a wintery "thinking of you" card for the challenge.

I posted on Instagram yesterday that I used liquid masking fluid to cover this image so I could do a distress ink background and I had put my fingers right on the image before it was completely dry but after it dried and I did the background, it completely ruined the image as the masking fluid was too wet and when I rubbed it off, it took the image with it! 

So...I has to start all over again with my colouring.  Yes I know, I should have done that first, then I would have only coloured it once.  Lesson learned!  

I coloured in the sign with my copics and I'll list them below.  Instead of using distress ink for the background I used B000 and the colourless blender to create the blue haze.  I then added in some Pico Embellisher in white for the falling snowflakes as well as some gelly roll glitter pen dots.  

I die cut the front panel with the new Lawn Fawn 4bar rectangles set with the largest die and glued it directly to the slate grey card stock and left an eighth inch border around it.  I then popped up that pane on to the A2 sized card base.  And for a change I actually stamped the sentiment in Versafine onyx black in BEFORE I added the foam tape, which is something I seam to forget every time!  

To finish off the card I added some Wink of Stella to the snow.  

Don't forget to head over the the AAA Cards challenge blog to add your project to tour linky.  We always love to see what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!
