Happy 21st Birthday - Well Worded Dies

I don't often get the chance to make really girly girl cards. My daughter is a bit of a footy head and pink isn't her thing. However, my besties daughter just turned 21 and she loves pink. In fact her birthday party colour theme was pink and rose gold, so I obviously had to make a card that matched.

This card is so stunning in real life and it is full of techniques. From the watercolour washed hearts, to the glimmer embossed paste background stencil, this card is just full of sparkle and magic.

I absolutely love the Brushed Foil cardstock that is currently in the Holiday Catalogue. It's got just the slightest hint of a brushed pattern on it and so bright and shiny but the real magic, is that even after going through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine, it never picks up any of the patterns from your scratched plates. I just love that!

Sometimes its just so much fun going all out and creating with your heart... until you have to clean up afterwards that is!

Happy Crafting and Cleaning,

Watercolour Blossoms - Many Layered Blossoms

I had so much fun creating this card. If you happened to catch me last Sunday on my Facebook live with my regular Sunday session you would have seen me pull out a brand new die from the upcoming Annual Catalogue. There was a card in the catalogue that inspired me to purchase the Many layered Blossoms die and so I decided to have a go at recreating it. I've got to say I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

How gorgeous is it!! I grabbed a huge collection of inks, die cut the flowers from our watercolour paper and got painting. I decided to paint the fuller die with lighter shades of colour and then, with the thinner die, I painted it with a slightly deep shade, so it would stand out more.

When choosing which card base to place it on, I really couldn't decided between Petal Pink or Coastal Cabana, so I decided now would be a great time to try out a technique that I had seen Jennifer McGuire use. It's where you split the die cut in half so it can then be used to create two cards. Because this die is so large it was perfect for this technique. It also meant, I didn't have to choose, as I could create two cards!
This layered blossom die is absolutely stunning and there is so much potential with it. I really can't wait to play some more with it very soon.

If you would like your very own copy of the new catalogue and you don't already have a demo, then fill out the form found HERE and I will get one sent to you. Australian address only unfortunately.

Happy Crafting,

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
