Sweet Wishes

To you all!

A little notelet card today and I've used the My Cute Stamp Sweet Chocolate stamp set for this cutey. 

It kinda reminds me of the sweeties with the hearts and writing on - do you know the ones I mean?

Well hope you have a sweet week.

Have fun.

Painting........

Morning everyone :-) It's typical Bank Holiday weather here......pouring down!! so lts more time to craft, I say!!...
I thought I'd try something a little different this week...I love to get mileage out of my stamps (because I have sooo many!!) I thought I'd try a little 'paint fusion' to see if it worked with some of my favourite stamps...

Gerbera Daisies by Flourishes, available from the lovely Emily here

I have crackled the background and inked over it and then stamped the Daisies and painted them...first with Green and then White. The centres are 'stippled' with Yellow paint and then Brown...but the best bit........I painted the strings and Green leafy things freehand....(as you can probably tell!!) I just inked around the edges and stamped part of the sentiment stamp. I really like how this looks aged.........with even a few extra creases where I've flattened the Mountboard!
This piece is 4"x4" and is destined for a Fatbook swap that I am in.......

Thanks for looking, I hope you have a lovely Monday and I'll catch up with you again soon.......

This is a fab set for scrap booking and journal ling.

But i couldn't resist using this quote for the card.

Thanks for looking.

The Last Of May's Flowers...

A couple of weeks ago I bought my first few sets of Promarkers and, luckily, the gorgeous blooms in the Quiet Essence set are perfect for a little bit of promarker practice - and, of course, for all of you promarker pros!



For this card, I stamped one of the images several times onto some smooth cardstock and then coloured using a variety of pinks, blushes and springy greens. To give the images dimension, I cut out elements from each of my stamped images and layered them using some small foam dots. I also added in just a couple of extra little leaves, which I curled with my finger nails to lift them a little.



Not bad for a practice piece, eh?

And, just while I'm here, any Lawn Fawn lovers might be interested to know that all of Lawn Fawn's Summer Releases are now available at Make The Day Special. Yeah Baby!

Quiet Essence

Some new rubber from Emily has got me experimenting a bit with my style/subject matter. I loved this quote from Unity Store Kit 'Quiet Essence' and the beautifully elegant images it comes with:

I stamped the sentiment onto vellum and stitched it in place.

I coloured the image with promarkers and added some glossy accents to his wings.

Thanks for dropping in,

May joy always find you

Hello.

I have a one layer card today.

I have use stamps from....

Donna Downey, Free to be

and unity store kit, The right words .

I used momento dewdrop ink pads with the pointy end i coloured the stamp.

I was so please how this came out.

Ive used just one colour before so I'm glad i tried this as it brings a totally different look to the image.

I used a sponge dabber to add some blue around the main image.

Thanks for looking.

Go Confidently

What a fabulous quote - 

'Go Confidently in the direction of your dreams

live the life you have imagined'

- Henry David Thoreau

This quote is part of the All About The Journey Unity stamp kit, as is the compass also shown here. You can get the kit over at Make The Day Special.

So I've gone all out on the texture and distressing today - I wonder if it is a reflection of my mood?

Have a fun week you all.

Kim
