Just Add Ink Challenge #381 - Birthday Delivery

Happy Friday people and welcome to another Just Add Ink Challenge, where this week we need to just choose two of the following things to add to you card: Embossing Paste, Colouring or Sequins.

I decided to go down the colouring road and of course adding sequins is always a given!!

I just adore this little girl in the Birthday Delivery stamp set and I kind of think she looks a little like me when I was a child. I think it's the curly hair.

I used my aqua painter to watercolour my image today and I really do think the more you practise the better you get at watercolouring and I think this might be my best one to date. It certainly made me feel like watercolouring a few more of the images in the set. The poodle has been calling my name for a while.

I hope you find some time this weekend to join in with us and get a little crafty. I know myself and the rest of the girls love seeing what you all make!!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo

Can You Case It #118 - Sketch Challenge

I can't believe we are at the end of another weekend already. But the good news is I have been crafting up a storm these last few days and I have a fab little card to share with you today for the Can You Case It challenge. This week we have a great sketch to share with you all and the shape can be anything!

I of course had to go against the grain and decided on butterflies as my shape:

Now Melon Mambo, really isn't a colour I use too often. I think I can fess up and say that it is'nt a fav of mine. Such a shocking confession I know!

My inspiration of this card came from one of the cards I made up that was in the kit Tin of Cards. Out of the four design, the butterfly one really stuck out for me. I just loved the idea of stamping a word, in this case Happy, over and over again on the full butterfly and then placing a "skeleton" butterfly over the top. Such a great little technique.

Hot pink, black and silver are just made for each other, so the rest of the card came together super quickly.

Now it's your turn! Head on over the the CYCI blog, check out the cards made by the other DT's and then take part yourself.

Happy Crafting,
Chlo

TGIF Challenge - Inspiration Challenge

Oh my goodness, with all the excitement of traveling to Sydney for Stampin' Up! OnStage, I almost forgot that it's time for a card from the TGIF guys. This week we have an inspirational thought and it's one that is so easy, I expect to see you all give it ago!

So what's a girl to do when the card is all about sparkle?!?! I literally just grabbed everything I could find and brought it to the table and then went crazy lol:

Now this card was actually made with a particular person in mind, who's one of my all time favourite Stampin' Up! Idols plus I remembered it was her birthday on Saturday, so I thought I'll be able to hand delivery this one in person. And because I adore this gorgeous girl I wanted to make something super special.

I actually used a technique that I saw Patty Bennett do a few weeks ago with the Fluttering Embossing Folder. I used the flourish from First Sight and stamped it over and over on the raised side of the embossed paper in Blushing Bride and Sahara Sand. It really gives such an effective finish, that Patty is so clever!!

Well, now that you've stopped by and visited, why not pop on over to the TGIF blog and see what all the other gorgeous, talented guys have been up to. And make sure you take some time this weekend to take part with us!!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo
