Wishing You the Sweetest Things

Today I'd like to share with you another card I've made using QKR Stampede's 'Sweet Treats' image.  I really like this image, but i wasn't happy with the way I coloured it last time I used it, so I decided to try something different this time.

I created a patchwork effect background using pieces of paper and card, along with some washi tape.  I then stamped the image using Stazon Ink directly onto this background.  I wanted the image to have a slightly transparent look, so coloured it with pastel pencils, which gave me a nice soft look.

To finish my card I added a border of glitter stickers, a stamped sentiment and some heart gems.

Have a great day

Fancy a Summer Treat

Wouldn't it be nice to have a Day at the Seaside, with the Sun shining, and lots of Ice-cream!  Guess we'll have to wait a few months for that, but that's what the image on today's card makes me think of.   This cute image is called 'Summer Treat' by QKR Stampede available in the shop Here.  I stamped the image onto watercolour paper and then coloured with Aquamarkers.  I used a scrap of My Mind's Eye paper for my background, and added a tissue paper circle, some strips of washi tape along with some gems for a little sparkle.
Have a great day all

Sew sweet!

I have a very bright and summery card to share with you today which I made using a stamp from the QKR stampede range which is available from Make the Day special. This image is 'Just Sitting' and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to combine it with Gingham or checks.

I found this very bright backing paper in my stash with the purple card and this gave me the direction for my card colour scheme. I stamped onto smooth card and coloured the image with my Promarkers before cutting it out and mounting to a panel cut from my Nesties.
I cut the purple card to fit my card base and matted it with the checked card and sewed around the edges. I then wrapped the front with ribbon before sticking it to the base.
I added a sentiment with Prima and My Little Shoebox letter stickers and finished with some pins, a flower and buttons.
I hope you have a great Friday!

Feel better soon....

It's the start of another week...hopefully another one of SUN! Since we've all been shouting about the new lines stocked in the Make the Day Special Shop, I thought I'd return to the existing lines and QKR Stampede. The stamp I've used is called 'In Love' but I've used it with a Get Well Soon sentiment from Ippity's  Just Wanted to Say:

Have a great day!

Pssst.....!

I've been sharing some of my designs in my role as new DT member over at {ippity} Inspiration but want to formally introduce myself over here at Make the Day Special too. I'm really excited to have joined Emily's DT and am having lots of fun experimenting with new stamps. 

My first project was to use a new range of stamps (to me) from cute and quirky QKR Stampede. I had lots of fun trying my hand at paper piecing which I think works so well with this stamp:

This stamp is called 'Secrets' and is available at the Make the Day Special shop.
(Promarkers used : Blush, Dusky Pink, Cinnamon and Cocoa)

Thanks for stopping by,

QKR Stampede - Swinging

Hi everyone, my first post on the new Make The Day Special blog!

I have one of the new QKR Stampede stamps to show you today. This one is called Swinging and I love these stamps as they have such a wonderful cloth doll and sewing feel to them.

I've coloured the image with PrismaColor pencils and paper pieced her dress.

I see this stamp and it just makes me want to sing 'Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar'.

Hope you all have a a jar full of moonbeams Friday
