Baby Shower!

Love this super cute stamp set from Mama Elephant - Fly with me!

I was trying to make a pink and blue pastel baby shower card but all the colours came out much stronger than intended, lol!

I created a background with distress oxides and then made my own raindrop stencil and added texture with some glittery paste.

I coloured the stamps with copics and cut them out. I believe this stamp set has a matching set of dies tho, if you are tempted? I attached them to the card with 3D foam.

I added some diecut clouds (from Joy, might be my most used die set?) and a piece of vellum with my text on. Font is Breamcatcher. I buy printable vellum especially for this, now I know it exists! I have been wondering why I can't print on normal vellum for years, doh! :D

Welcome to the hop!

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Witt & Sass & Beth Duff Designs Blog Hop! 

***Firstly I have everything crossed that all my friends being effected by Hurricane Florence are ok. I made this weather related card along time before anything about the hurricane appeared on UK news outlets so it wasn't intended to relate to real world events in any way!***

Forces have united to bring you a load of DT inspo projects using two recent release stamps sets, Fabulously Gobsmacked from Witt and Sass and Beth Duff Designs Adventures Abroad - London! (The London Set will be released on the 21st Sept, you can see it here in the W&S Facebook Group Hop Post til then.)

Here is my Shaker Card using the building and vehicles from BDD London Set and "Bloody Brilliant" from the W&S Set.  ( I added my own bit about the rain in Candy Square BTN.) I also coloured a bus in dark grey and lobbed off the top to make a taxi! And Tower Bridge has been converted to the Houses of Parliment, with a bit of snipping!

I tried a different method for the shaker rather than foam pads but went a bit cray with the sequins and now London has serious flooding issues, oops!  I thought adding rain to proceedings would make it more English! Brads and Baker Twine from the stash. Image coloured with copics. Background coloured with distress inks. Paper from Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid.

Also once you have completed the hop, make sure you go to look at the stamp sets, pick your fav sentiment from either and leave a comment on either the W&S Facebook Page, or the Beth Duff Designs Facebook Page. (Comment on either, it's fine!)

The September Challenge!

Challenge 11 on the Crafty Addicts Facebook Group goes live today! Theme this time is, as normal, Anything Goes, and the optional option (lol, going to leave that in!) of "Use Glitter". Sami Stamps is the sponsor this time, she has some amazing images, you'll be hard pressed to choose if you win! She's giving away a $12 gift card to the winner!

I chose to use the image "With You" from Sami Stamps for my DT inspiration card. I needed an image for an Anniversary Card and I thought it would be nice change from hearty type pictures!

I tried doing some distress ink blending on kraft card, and then cosmic shimmer mist over the top to get a watery effect. I masked off the image and text whilst I played with the ink. Font is "Little Lord Fontleroy". I added some sequins around the image (kind of wanting it to look rainy?) and then made the umbrella out of two glitter card stocks. The flowery one I have had since the beginning of time, must have been one of the first things I bought when I started to make cards and FINALLY I have used it on a project, lol. Image is unsurprisingly coloured with polychromos... the waxy finished meant it resisted the ink that made it through my masks really well!

Springtime cards for Challenge 12!

Back again with a challenge inspiration card! It's Challenge 12 on The Craft Addicts Challenge Blog and this time the theme is "Springtime/Anything goes."

This challenge is sponsored by Oddball Art Co and I have chosen to make a "Get Well Soon" card featuring Lizzy Love's Big Eyed Girl - Stormy. The Prize for this challenge is 3 free digistamps!

The card is coloured with polychromo pencils onto kraft card. I used a Joy die for the clouds and added glossy accents to the rain drops. Inside it says "I hope you have a spring in your step soon."

This is my first try at "no lines colouring" and I printed a very feint version of the digistamp onto the card before colouring it. I was worried I would lose a lot of details, but I don't think it's too bad. Some polka dots has gone missing, and a few eyelashes, but nothing major :)
