Chef Marci

Today I inked up La la Land stamps Chef Marci, they have just the cutiest range of stamps. This is the first time I have used the mini rolled rose die from MFT, I love the look but it is a bit fiddly getting the roll right, I think a bit more practise is needed.

I used Taylored Expressions sketch challenge TESC145

and Our Creative Corner Colour challenge for my inspiration.

Supplies:

Stamps: La La Land Stamps Chef Marci, sentiment - Paper Pretties

Paper: Basic balck, basic gray, real red, green &white card, DP Rosies wedding stack

Other: black ink, copics, MFT mini rolled rose die-namics, leaf punch, hot glue gun,foam tape,MS border punch.

Have a great day

Pink Fairy Lee

Hello there,
I started colouring this image last week for the CCEE stampers pink challenge 1125, but it has taken me until tonight to finish it, well better late than never I say.
The sketch I have used is from Taylored Expressions TESC141 and last week I also came across the paper flower tutorial at Amazing Paper Grace, Becca used tissue paper but I had this light coloured vellum that worked really great.
I have been collecting a few of these great Mo Manning stamps that are just so cute and easy to colour.Supplies:
Stamps: Stampavie - MM012 Birthday Fairy Lee
Paper: pink & white card, green scrap card, DP- DCWV sweet stack
Other: MFT die-namics perfect petal trio, MS boarder punch, fern punch, brads, copics, nestabilities

Hugs

Christening bunnies

Some stamping time at last, I left this rather late, I needed a christening card for my great nephews for this morning, I sat up until midnight making it last night. I knew the christening was happening but didn't have a religious stamp, especially one for babies or for that matter twin boys so I kept putting it off.

I just knew I wanted two of something and I thought of the zig zag card that I had seen on StampOwls blog and when I saw this sketch from Taylored Expressions I thought it would be perfect.

I had this cute Peter Rabbit set from Beatrix Potter that I purchased from spotlight earlier this year. Since I needed two rabbits I stamped one, masked it and then stamped another one overlapping the first. I coloured one bunny in green and the other in blue, the boys are identical and my niece like to use these colours to keep them separate. I didn't have a religious embossing folder so I chose the star one, well they are up in heaven..

I also wanted to try ribbon pleating it was quite fun and easy to do, so you may see a few of my cards done with this ribbon. I also like the way this design is able to stand up for displaying.

Supplies:

Stamps: Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
Paper: White and blue card

Other: cuttlebug embossing folder,ribbon, copics, nestabilities oval and oval scallop

Golfing Thankyou

I have had a wonderful time golfing this month and have managed to come home with prizes every time I have played. Of course on sponsored days it is rather nice to send special thanks for the trophy.
I have used this weeks sketch from Taylored expressions sketch challenge TESC125
I used my nestabilities to cut ou the circles and the cuttlebug embossing folder tiny bubbles to make them look like golf balls.
It is rather hard to find golf stamps for ladies as it is reconized as a male sport, I even googled women golf stamps and only came up with one image that was more suited to a comedy card , not excatly what I was after. So I have used this little golf ball hiding its eyes and coloured the tee pink as the sponsor was female.
I like how it turned out a quick and simple card and by changing the colour of the tee it will also be suitable for a male card.
Supplies:
Stamps: Clearstamps www.sullivan.com
Paper: designer paper: white & green card
Other: brads, copics, ds & foam tape ,cuttlebug eb, neastabilities circle

Just for you

The card I have made today is for a double challenge Taylored Expressions TESC123 and Our Creative Corner "It's embossable".

I was asked to make a 21st card and I wanted to add a charm. This charm is actually a charm used on your wine class, so you don't forget which is yours. I still have a bit of the wrapping paper left from the card that I made last month, I like to recycle when I can.

I purchased some empty envelopes in various sizes from the local newsagent, sometimes I create cards and I just don't have an envelope to match, this time I measured the envelope and made the card to match.

I tied the ribbon and charm with black thread and added beads, they look like olives in the top of the glass, unfortunately it is a bit hard to see in this photo.

Supplies:

Stamps: Rubber Romance Verse - Grace Taylor stamps

Paper: Green,Blue,Cream, Black, DP-wrapping paper

Other: MS Punch,beads,ribbon,charm,thread,copics,nestabilities,black ink, cuttlebug embossing folder

Thanks for looking

Maryann

You light the way

I volunteer for Red Cross in the kiosk at the local hospital, this card was made for our convener. Happy Birthday Neil. I love this image ( I use it quite a lot for male cards) it is so easy to use watercolours. This time I have use water colour crayons instead of my pencils, I think they give the image a softer effect. The I have used is TESC117.


Supplies:
Stamps: PSX , Verse - Penny Black
Paper: Chocolate,blue,white card
Other: Ms arch border punch,brads,water colour crayons,water pen, nestabilites die
