World Treasures

Good morning!
How was your weekend? I am here after a very busy weekend with my market on Saturday and a Stampin' Up! workshop yesterday! The workshop really was fun...there are a couple of pictures at the end of this post.

I have here a card that was totally inspired by the challenge at Colour Q this week. You'll see why shortly!


This stamp set is the one I won from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine. It's called World Treasures. I inked up the stamp in all different colours using my markers before stamping it.


I did the same with the border. I decided to trim the image to add a little interest, then finished with lots of tiny gems from a nailart kit. The sentiment is Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

Supplies
Cardstock - Whisper White, Summer Starfruit, Tempting Turquoise
Stamps - World Treasures, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Inks (markers) - Summer Starfuit, Midnight Muse, Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point

Less Is More Colour Challenge

Good Morning!
I'm excited this morning because it's my first market since December...I hope it's a busy one! 

But quickly, before I go, I want to share this card I have made for the Less Is More colour challenge this week...


I have used the stunning Secret Garden set (again!) and stamped it with More Mustard, Pretty In Pink and Pink Pirouette markers and used the matching Framelits to cut them out. The embossing was using the free Vine Street EF from the Sale-A-Bration promotion, and then I colour the inside of the folder using Sahara sand and ran the card through the Bigshot again.


The sentiment is Teeny Tiny Sentiments.
I am also entering this into the sketch challenge at CAS(e) This Sketch, which was on my screen when I opened my laptop this morning!


Ok I must dash! Have a lovely day! At least the sun is shining here... :)

Guess the stamp set! ;)

Good morning! 
I'm going to show you the card I shall be demonstrating at my SU workshop on Sunday. Shhhh...don't tell! ;)


Have a guess which stamp set I'm using?? Yup! Again! I can't help it...I so totally love it! I have so many ideas for this set I can tell you!


This time I coloured the flowers by colouring a patch onto my Stamp-a-Majig plastic sheet and lifting it off with a damp cotton bud, then gently brushing and dabbing it onto the flowers. It give a slightly more water coloured effect I think.

Supplies
Cardstock - Whisper White, Crumb Cake
Stamps - Secret Garden, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Ink (markers) - Melon Mambo, So Saffron, Lucky Limeade, Crumb Cake
Punches & Dies - Secret Garden Framelits, Word Window, Elegant Label
Other - Paper Piercing Essentials Pack
