Color Hues #70

Hi there friends, the new colours are up for the Color Hues Color Challenge #70!

I always love when I have a reason to use the Coffee Shop stamps and dies from MFT Stamps! When I can using a funky, bright colours like Red & Yellow, which are the new Color Hues Duo--It's even better.

I used mostly dies to make my card and it`s so fun putting the pieces together!

I added a bit of shine using a white gel pen. I still working on perfecting these hand drawn lines. It seems to always depend on what I drawing them on whether cardstock, ink blended paper or even over Copic marker colouring.

Doesn`t this look like the kind of coffee shop that would be fun to go to with a friend?


If you haven't already, please pop over to the Color Hues Color Challenge blog to see what my amazing teammates were inspired to make using Red and Yellow!

I really hope to see you play along with us!

Summer Fun with Altenew Inspiration Hop

It’s time for the monthly inspiration hop at Scrap 'N Stamp and we are celebrating Summer Fun with Altenew! The full hop order can be found on the Scrap 'N Stamp blog. I'm the first stop on the hop today and your next stop is listed down at the bottom of this post.

Scrap 'N Stamp now carries products from Altenew which is really exciting! Today I used the Altenew Folk Flowers builder stencil and the co-ordianting Folk Flowers Details stamps.



I used Catherine Pooler inks for my stenciling in a triad of colours off the colour wheel.The stencil was so easy to line up so that I could get a seamless transition in between each of the colours!

The details from the Folk Flowers Details stamp set were added to the panel--the veins on the leaves, the stamen from the flowers and the polka dots. Liquid Shimmer watercolor was splattered of the panel using a fan brush. The panel was trimmed down to 5 1/4" x 4" then added to the card base with foam tape.


The sentiment is from the Folk Flowers Details stamp set and I did a little stamp surgery so that the sentiment could run in a straight line, rather than on two lines! I embossed and trimmed the sentiment down then added it to the centre of the panel with foam tape once again.

A finishing touch were a few clear drops for that dewy look.

The next stop on the hop is fabulous Tara and you find her blog HERE. Remember to leave comments all along the hop for more chances to win!

Happy Hopping!

Colours Hues #69

Hi there friends, the new colours are up for the Color Hues Color Challenge #69!

There are so many reasons to send hugs don't you think? Whether to a family member, a friend or some you love!


 

When I was a little girl I remember that had a Miami Dolphins T-shirt. I'm pretty sure I got it on a trip to Florida. I loved that shirt and have always loved those colours together!

I used the Big Hugs die set from Concord & 9th. For the background I used the MFT Stamps Clouds stencil. 


I added the Big Hugs die cuts with foam tape for a bit of dimension!
