Tropical Part-tay!

It's another Tuesday post for Witt and Sass and the fabulous new stamp set - Tropical Party! Featuring my favourite Witt and Sass bird, Carmen Miranda Flamingo. (CMF)

The set has five cool sentiments to pick from and loads of extra images, so I added a little pineapple chap to my wording banner.  I also used the background building stamp called grassy hill to define the outline of the grassy mound CMF is stood on. 

I coloured CMF in copic pens and some white posca pen. I added stickles and glossy accents at the end too. The background was an experiment using lace as a stencil with distress inks. I thought it looked like that sparkling-water-swimming-pool-bokeh? It probably has a proper name, but I hope you get what I mean!

When cards are very heavy, you can move them across your crafting table using tiny straw logs...just like how they built the pyramids! ;) I suppose I should now mention the MAJORLY GLITZY element of this card, the rhinestone palm tree. I know, it's a bit much, but when I saw it I couldn't resist. The dragonfly bling was in the same set.
Bling and Straws were from The Range, Background Paper was a magazine freebie.

They're quite a few of us on the Witt and Sass Design Team, people you might not already know, would you like to have a look at their blogs? I figure if you read this far, you might like something fun and inspiring to do? They are all incredibly talented bunch, I am really having to up my game!

Kitmas in July (and some in August too!)

Just wanted to make a blog post to let you know about the The Knitty Kitty Kitmas in July/August Giveaway!

I wanted to share with you this week some of the snow scene sets that are now in the Knitty Kitty Etsy Shop and also give crafters a chance to win a great prize and snag some freebies.

From the 31^st July til the 6^th August Knitty Kitty Digis will be hosting a giveaway on Facebook and Instagram. There’s a chance to win the full set of snow scene stamps! That’s 19 digistamps! Four of the sets are available to view on Etsy already, but the fifth set featuring Santa Paws will be released later this week. Here are the Etsy Links for the stamps:

Quartet

Kittiski and friends

Catguins

Flamingos

Santa Paws: Coming Soon.

There is another chance to win the full set on Instagram. (I will be giving away two full sets.)

If you would to take part there are two options. (You are fine to do both if you would like to.)

• Follow, Like and Comment on the Giveaway post in Instagram for knittykittydigis.
• Or enter any Christmas project, or a project featuring a Knitty Kitty Digistamp into the Kitmas Giveaway Photo Album in the facebook group!

The Instagram winner will be chosen at random but I’ll choose a winner from the projects entered on Facebook.

(Top tip, you will have a far greater chance of winning if you take part on Facebook, a lot more people normally enter on Instagram!)

ALSO this week the Snow Scene Set featuring the Ice-skating Flamingos- Florentina, Felicia, Fifi, Flavia and Francine will be available as freebies in the facebook group. There will be one available on each day this week (Mon-Fri) and only for one day, so you’ll have to pop in each day to claim your new freebie! The whole set is also available for sale on Etsy, and is part of the winners prize too.

Good luck everyone if you decide to take part! If you have any questions please comment on this post and I will be happy to help.  There will be some inspiration for the Snow Scene digistamps from the KKD Design Team in the Facebook group if you would like to pop in and see! Thanks DT!
