Thinking of You

Hello!  Just a short post to show a card I made over the weekend.  It's a Wee Stamps digital image called Flower Fairies.  Isn't she adorable?  I know the colouring isn't the best, must be the hot weather :) and it's hard to sit for long.

I'm submitting this to the Simon Says Stamp challenge - Things with Wings.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a lovely day!

Because I Care

Happy Friday!  I'm so glad it's time for Unity Friends with Flair (but, oops the link is not up yet, well nevermind ;)).  My card uses the image from Phyllis Harris set - I will Give You My Heart.  She's totally cute!

The sentiment is from Blossom by Blossom set, and I think it goes so well with the PH image.  The Copic Markers I used are :

Hair : E27, YR24, E25, E21

Skin : E50, E01, E13, R21

Heart : R32, R35

Dress : BG32, BG11, R35, R32

This card is based on the Unity challenge sketch below:

Thanks for visiting me. 

Have a lovely weekend!

Inspired Stamps May Release

  

Welcome to Inspired Stamps May Release day!  I can't tell you how excited I am to work with these new characters Antoinette has created.  Today I'm showcasing 2 of the new HLO characters and they are just Fabulous!!  As you can guess, the characters are HLO : Bride and HLO : Groom.

Antoinette has designed the HLO : Groom such that his arm can be masked and put around the bride. How clever! In my samples, I have kept them separate, just to showcase the stamps individually.  Here are the cards:

The groom card can be used for weddings and other congratulatory or birthday cards.

My favourite is the HLO : Bride image.  I think she looks exquisite in the beautiful wedding gown and pearls.  I didn't add a sentiment to the card, as I think the image says it all. 

Please visit the Inspired Stamps Blog for more Amazing samples from the Design Team.  Each of us are featuring different sets.

Thanks for visiting me.

Make It Move Challenge

I can't believe how fast time flies, when on holidays.  But, the great thing is, I get to make fun stuff!  I can't resist this WMS challenge - Make It Move.  Click on the link and see Claire's beautiful and fun card!

Truth is, I've been making some kids cards and when I saw Claire's challenge, I thought I should make another one with movement based on this card...

and then, I thought wouldn't it be fun if the elephant can move?  After some thought, this card was the outcome...

See the ribbon at the bottom of the elephant?  Hang on to it, and you can move the elephant forward on the slider... like so:

Just a simple mechanism, I had a little strip of cardstock behind the elephant, wrapped around an opened slot of the patterned paper.

The images are from one my favourite sets (I have so many ;)) Half Pint Heroines and the images are coloured with Copic Markers.

Hope you like the idea.

Thanks for visiting me.

Gratitude

I have always enjoyed the Mojo Monday sketches, and am so glad I get to play along this week.  I have some Verve stamps which I've not used often enough, and it was great to take them out.  And, I just felt like making a simple card (with no colouring) with just plain stamping.  It was a nice!

Love this sketch, and here's my card:

I just kept to the sketch cos I love everything about it.  The Verve sets I used are:
Bloom and Grow (the flowers in the background), Making a Statement (frame) and Beautiful You (sentiment).

Thank you for visiting me :)

Tulips

Hello! It's been a hectic week, but I managed some time for stamping.  How fun!  One of the things I miss most about living in Amsterdam is seeing the beautiful tulip fields, and the many colours of tulips sold in the flower markets.  Tulips are such happy and cheerful flowers.

One of my favourite tulips - the "Moulin Rouge", at a flower show

Here's my card :

This beautiful tulips image is from the Unity set Tulips and Daisies and I used Copics to colour the image :

Watering can - C00, C1, C3
Tulips - Y11, Y13, Y17
Leaves - YG61, YG63, YG67

Once again, I'm linking this to the Unity Friends with Flair post as well as Simon Says Stamp Happy Mail challenge for this week.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Flowers

Our challenge this week at Inspired Stamps is a Flower card with Scripture.  There's so many Inspired Stamps floral sets to choose from, but I love this set, Butterflies and Blooms.

 

Using the butterfly on the two flowers stamp, I masked off the butterfly and stamped the flowers on white cardstock.  Then, I added some colours using Copic Markers and finish off with the punched butterflies.  The sentiment is from the set Fall Gratitude.

 

If you have been eying some stamp sets, this is a great time to get them - there's a wonderful sale going on this week.

Plus, throughout the whole month of May, Antoinette is sharing 31 days of Mixed Media ideas and projects.  

Don't miss out and check it out at the Inspired Stamps Blog.
