Hi there,

We are having some unbelievable weather here in Perth, Western Australia a big storm hit early hours of the morning causing damage all over the city to peoples homes. I thank God we haven’t had much damage to our property. With all this stormy weather about  and having to stay indoors gives one a good excuse to do some stamping.  This card I have made is for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge .

Here is the sketch:

I don’t actually make many tall cards, but I had this gorgeous stamp from C C Designs Apple Emma and Sassafraslass Pattern Paper layed out on my desk to make a card and I thought this sketch was a perfect match for them.

So here is my card:

Card Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampin’ Up! – Tempting Turquoise, Textured cardstock, Whisper White and Yoyo Yellow. Pattern Paper: Sassafraslass – Fresh Pick. Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black. Other: Gingham Ribbon Red, Stampin’ Write Marker – Real Red and Copic Markers.

Hi There,

When I saw this weeks Inkspirations colour challenge  made me start thinking of a scrap page I had completed in these very colours:

Here is my scrapbook page:

I changed this colour photo of my niece into black & white and I have used chalks to colour the strawberry and the strap of her top. I had never tried this technique before so I was happy with the way it came out.

Scrapbook Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampin’ Up! - 12×12 Real Red, Whisper White and Old Olive. Pattern Paper: DSP – Summer Picnic. Stamp Set: Tart & Tangy. Ink: Stampin’ Write Markers: Real Red  and Old Olive. Other: Scallop Punch, 1¼ Circle Punch, Stampin’ Pastels and Chipboard Letters.

Hi there,

Happy Sunday!

Hope everyone is enjoying there weekend, here in Perth its a gorgeous sunny day.

Today me and my family are off to celebrate my Father-inlaws 65th birthday, so I thought I would quickly share a few cards I have made lately before we head out for the day.

This first card I made was for one of the Inkspirations colour challenges that I ran out of time and ended up not submitting it. 

The next card is some of the left over cardstock and paper piece’s from the first card, which I thought would look great with this bunny stamp:

This next card I also made for an Inkspiration Sketch Challenge and again I was to late to submit it, Its a great sketch I can reuse alot.

This last card I have made for a good friend of mine and she loves ducks. I have used the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. which I have mirror imaged the sketch as I want the duck image to sit to the left of the card.

Hope you all have a great long weekend and Thanks for looking!!!

Hi Again,

Time again for another one of Makeesha’s challenge. This weeks challenge is a sketch. Hope you like what I have come up with this week.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

With this card I have used the water misting technique onto the stamp once I inked it up to give this gorgeous water colour look.

The circle backing the stamped image is on doesn’t show up very well in this photo, the colour I have used is Stampin’ Up’s pumpkin pie to pick up the orange in the stamped image and I have used the night of navy marker to create the faux stitching around the edges of the circle.

Card Recipe:

Stamp It: Cling On Stamp – Foliage Flurry & Solid Butterfly. Penny Black Clear Stamp Words – For You. Kaleidacolor Ink – Royal Satin. Kaisercraft: Pearls. Fiskars: Scallop Punch. Stampin’ Up: Cardstock – Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie and Night of Navy. Ink: Night of Navy. Other: Gingham Ribbon

Hi there,

I decided after all the card making I have been doing it was time to do some scrapping. My husband is kind of a “Kombi” fanatic and he is the proud owner of two. So the page I have scrapped is of him in the first Kombi he purchased. 

I often scrapbook in my head more so than I actually do physically so I sketched this page out first so I could remember what I wanted to do.

Heres the sketch:

Here is the finished page:

I have used a bunch of different stamps and pattern papers and the sizzix die Frame to embelish. I ended up framing the page for him to hang on the wall in his office, he loved it!

Thanks for looking!

Till next time

Hi again,

When I went over to keesh’s blog to see her challenge for this week I initially thought to myself I’m not going to do that one it’s too much of a challenge. But as I kept looking at the inspiration picture I couldn’t help myself and thought I will give it a go anyway.

So here is what I came up with:

I recently bought this clear stamp “Hoo Hoo There!” from the Lily & Milo Collection by Rachelle Anne Miller and as I was dying to have a play with it, no better time than to use it, but in this challenge.

Recipe:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Rose Red, Apricot Appeal & Pretty in Pink. Ink: Chocolate chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Carmel, Rose Red, Apricot Appeal & Pretty in Pink. Blender Pen and Mat Pack. Pattern Paper: Basic Grey Collection – Two Scoops.

Looking forward to the next challenge.

Till next time

Cindy
