Color Hues #35

 It's time for two new colors for Challenge #35 and the Color Hues Color Challenge!

I used The Greetery Pinwheel Party Stencils and co-ordinating dies to make a festive birthday card.  The sentiment is from Birthday Blooms which is also from The Greetery.

I am looking forward to seeing how you interpret navy and pink. See you at the Color Hues!

Vibrant Valentines' Cards

 Hi there and Happy Thursday!

I have been playing with Catheine Pooler`s Two Part Hearts stamps and dies along with my favourite inks by Catherine Pooler!

I started off by stamping and die cutting a bunch of hearts in coordinating colours. I used the CP colour wheel to help me choose. I covered all my card fronts with aqua cardstock, the inside white panel is 5 1/8" x 3 7/8". I stamped an old sentiment from Papertrey Ink and all my cards using Catherine Pooler Mardi Gras ink. Next I attached the white panels to the card front using strips of foam tape. Then I arranged my stamped hearts on the the tops of the white panel using foam tape. The dimension adds so much to the cards.

I ended up making 2 of each card.

No matter how you arrived here see the bottom of my post for where to go to the start the blog hop on the Scrap N Stamp website.

 For my first card I used the adorable Hot Dog Stamp Set. This sweet little pup laying in a bun was my first choice to ink up. I stamped him in black ink and clear embossed the lines before I coloured him with Copic Markers. I cut my panel with the second largest Lawn Fawn Large Stitched rectangle, I added the sentiment also from the set and popped it up with foam tape before adding it to a red panel.

I couldn't let the fun end there, so I made a second card using just the pile of rocks and sentiments from the You Rock stamp set. When I have a small focal point making a 4 1/4" square card base works perfectly. The inner white panel is 3 1/4" square. Once again I stamped and clear embossed the images before colouring with Copic markers. I gave the rocks a bit of shine with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

I added a second sentiment on the inside of the card!

Color Hues #34

Happy February! 

It's time for a new color another challenge at the Color Hues! We hope you'll join us for Color Hues #34. This challenge our colours are red & black!

I used an old favourite, wood block stamp made by Hero Arts called Dots & Flowers to make my patterned piece. Really simple, I opened my mini MISTI and lay the stamp on its back on the mat. Then I inked my stamps up well with VersaFine Onyx black ink. To make my impression I lay my cardstock on to the inked stamp and rubbed all over the stamp to get a good impression and Peeled in off--Voila!

I have kept all of my favourite woodblock stamps. I don't use them very often, but when I do I am amazed by the quality of the impression. Did you keep yours???

I added a sentiment from Love Struck by A Jillian Vance Design and a few die cut hearts and some sparkling gem stones!

We can't wait to see what you do!
