colourQ #347

Happy Tuesday!

It's time for a new colour palette at the colourQ!

Another card for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop using the colourQ colours! 

I watercoloured my Ellen Hutson frappucino's--one with a Zig and one with Altenew Peach Perfect ink. My coffee beans are chocolate chip and my sentiments are Memento London Fog.  Clean and simple.

 

 Hope to see you play along with us again this week!

Muse #171

Happy Monday!

It's time for this week's challenge over at Muse.

I am the hostess this week and I created a card using Spring Flowers by Simon Says Stamp and my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. First I stamped and embossed the images in white using watercolour paper, then I coloured the images with my Zig's. Once it was dry I stamped my sentiment and die cut a panel using  a MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle. I splattered some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink on to my panel for interest then the entire panel was popped up with foam tape on to the card base.

I hope to see you come over and play along with us at Muse this week, I can't wait to see how you are inspired.

Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop '16

It's here again, the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop summer edition!

All the activity starts today Friday June 17th 6:00 am PST and runs until Friday, June 24th!

I am thinking about meeting a friend for coffee outside in the summertime. I created my background panel with Canson watercolor paper that I watercoloured with Antique Linen Distress Ink and then when the panel was almost dry I splattered a bit more watercolour over it. Once dry I cut out with an MFT Wonky Stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the kraft base with foam tape. Then I used Essentials by Ellen Oh Frappe stamps and designer dies as well as an old Fresh Squeezed Stamp set 'cool beans' image to complete the rest of my scene. The sentiment was embossing in gold. My card ended up having to take a detour mid assembly as it didn't work out exactly as I had planned. So I guess that means making another card later this week.

 

Happy Hopping!

Reverse Confetti Sketch For You to Try #37

A card for the Reverse Confetti Sketch For You to Try #37!

I turned the sketch sideways and used the Let's Chill stamps and dies for my card. I watercoloured the popsicles and cut them without the bars. The popsicle sticks mimic the tabs in the sketch.

I am also submitting this to the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge for June.

I used Stamping, Die-cuts and Heat Embossing.

...and I am submitting to Virginia's View Challenge #22

A Bit of This and a Bit of That

I don't know about you but I am finding the warmer weather is pulling me outside more and the days are going so fast. So many things getting left undone inside and I find that I am not getting time to be crafting until the evening and by them I am just so tired.  It must be all the fresh air!

Back to taking photos when I am outside. 

This one is a baby chippie that has been around in the garden lots he is only about 3" long here, this was a few weeks ago.

 

My lilac when it was in bloom, the butterflies loved it.

First roses of the year

View from the patio this afternoon, I love hearing the birds chirping and the leaves blowing on the trees.

Have a wonderful day whatever you are doing, but hopefully it is outside enjoying the lovely weather.
