Bubbles!

Hi! Welcome to the weekend!
I'm in Paper Smooches mode at the moment and completely inspired by our colour challenge this week!

I just love the Paper Smooches Wise Dies.  This is the first chance I've had to play with "Chains".  When I saw the bubbles in this set I wanted to try something with another of my favourite sets "Briny Blue". I think this card would work with any of the Briny Blue characters. Sticking with the colour challenge made the cute jellyfish an obvious choice!

The jellyfish is made to stand out on a thin strip of acetate.

I used Lawn Fawn Lets Polka papers for the co-ordinating background strip.

And for the greeting - one of my fav PS sets - one of the first sets I bought (and the reason I'm so hooked!) - Birthday Buddies!

So here's a reminder of the colour challenge..

..and all the goodies I played with! 

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Throwback Thursday

Hello!

You will see me every Thursday from now on,and I thought it would be nice to revisit some of the awesome older stamps,papers and dies in the shop. All the new stuff is positively drool-worthy,but we musn't forget how excited we were with previous releases ;-D

 So here is my 'card'-a slightly different card this week,using some of my hoarded old packaging as its base and the gorgeous Paper Smooches Briny Blue and Surf and Turf and the sentiment from Hang Ups,out of stock at the moment,but will be back in store :-) 

The packaging is that clear floppy plastic as apposed to the ridged packaging that make great shaker cards. Static does a lot of the work for you holding things in place,so there is no need for any adhesive in this type of card. All the sea folk are stamped and painted onto watercolour card,using the colour palette. I stamped,coloured and cut everything I thought I would use and arranged it 

Then carefully sandwiched it together and machine sewed loose rings around the outside. The jellyfish and seahorse needed a little extra anchoring,so I ran a few stitches through them,voila! Can be hung anywhere to catch the light :-)

As you know,the DT has a colour challenge this week-this scrummy colour palette

There is still time to play along with this fun colour challenge,and you can upload your submissions here

See you next week for another Throwback Thursday!

Used today-back in stock soon!:

A Little Jar of Thanks

Hello!

Firstly,today is the last day of the Mama Elephant pre-orders. Stock will be in limited quantities when it arrives,so this is the perfect chance to make sure you get the sets you want. Pre-orders close tonight-hurry to the store!

Back to todays card :-)

I had one of those moments where you go to do something completely unrelated to crafting,spot a stamp set peeking out of the chaos in the craft room and you just HAVE to have a fiddle. This is the first time I have opened Briny Blue-I LOVE these little fishy guys! So many possibilities jumped into my head when I saw this set-I am smitten :-)

I teamed Briny Blue up with Crystal Clear 1 dies,and cut a piece of vellum with Crystal Clear 2 dies to make the 'water'. 

Hope you like it :-)
