Blast Off ........

This week at a party I was asked to make a project for a children's card.

I was torn between two stamp sets : blast off or dinoroar

This is what I came up with, I used a card base of Pacific Point, and created a background
Using the outer space roller.



I'm hosting a party myself next Thursday 28th February, so you fancy  attending and checking out Stampin' Up's great product, then let me know and i'll make sure you have a project pack ready and waiting......

Hope to see you then :-)

With Love......

Today's card originated from a sketch.  Since being ill I seem to have lost my crafting mojo and using a sketch seemed a good way to get me started.

It uses a palette of soft suede and very vanilla, and a piece of DSP from comfort cafe.  By using texture and layers you can create the perfect card recipe = BLT.

Background, layers and texture.

The flowers were coloured using markers gumball green and primrose petals.  The stamps are from Field Flowers and Love and Sympathy.

Craft Groups back on.......





Craft Groups are now back on, please see side bar for details and dates.

Here's a card we made last night.  We used crumb cake, pool party, soft suede and white.  We brayed pool party ink onto the Brocade embossing folder, this technique can be used in 2 ways to get either the background covered or the detail.

The flowers are taken from the Blooming Marvelous stamp set which is one of the freebies available during Sale-a-bration.

To take advantages of the offers available during Sale-a-bration place an order or book a party date now :-).

If you would like a copy of the leaflet or new Spring catalogue then please let me know.

Back soon with more Sale-a-bration ideas.....
