WWC129 Libby's " All About Christmas" Challenge - Sheltering Tree

Welcome to a christmas challenge. I love using different stamp sets for a christmas card instead of the traditional.

Also love using non traditional colours.

Started with using the Sheltering Tree stampset with Wisteria Wonder and Rich Razzleberry for the leaves and stamped off a few times to get the different colour tones. Early Espresso was used for the tree branches and one of the trees at the back I double stamped to get two layers of branches close together.

Rich Razzleberry cardstock was used for the card base. The Merry Christmas stamp is from the Star of Light set and Early Espresso was used to blend with the trees.

I could link in to the WWC129 All about Christmas Challenge

So don't forget to hop over and see all the other wonderful christmas cards that have been made for this

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.

Thank you for stopping by

Have a great time stampin'

until next time

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 52 - Dragonfly Dreams

Hello and welcome everyone to our 

INKspired blog hop.

You may have hopped across from the delightful

Allison and I am always keen to see what she has made for us.. 

It is so much fun to see

everyone's creations

Now below is the sketch that

Teneale Williams has given us this fortnight

to use

 With so many gorgeous items in the Occasions catalogue

it was a hard decision on what to use......

but Dragonfly Dreams won out - love Dragonflies and we have so  many around this year.

My friend Roseanne (lives just outside Casino, NSW) took a great picture and I have her permission

to add it to my blog post tonight. She is an

amazing photographer and I feel privileged to share

this photograph with everyone.

Top shot Roseanne!

Now for my card I started with Early Espresso cardstock for main card.

A piece of crumbcake cardstock that I used the Petal Burst embossing folder on then sponged the edge with Early Espresso ink.

Then stamped the dots from the Timeless Textures stampset in crumbcake ink onto it.

I also stamped the dots on the Very Vanilla square in crumb cake ink. The words from the Dragonfly Dreams were stamped in Early Espresso ink.

Attached some Gold Metallic thread under my dragonfly 

and my card was done!

Global Design Project 058 | Sketch Challenge

I needed some male birthday cards 
 and was deciding what to make
when I saw the Global Design Project challenge
 for this week.
I then used the sketch from #GDP058 
designed by Teneale Williams
for my card.

Don't forget to check out all the other amazing creations at the Global Design Project page.

So here is my birthday card

Used Crumbcake as the base with one of the DSP from 
Candy Cane Lane (love this DSP).Then used the stampset - Guy Greetings for the car which is stamped 
in Early Espresso ink and the words are from the same set - so versatile for a male card.

GDP Challenge 29 - You're So Lovely

Had some spare time this weekend so thought I would join in with the 

# GDP029 challenge.

Hmmm, what were you thinking Bruno to put these colours together in a challenge!

Here is the colour challenge 

Bruno set us all - why don't you give it ago

Just pop over to the Global Design Project page 

 I used Bermuda Bay for my main card.

Used the You're So Lovely stampset - love the Happy Birthday.

Sponged around the edge of the card in Early Espresso that had been sponged off first and then used the Tangelo Twist ink for more sponging.

The Timeless Texture stampset used the leaf stamp that I had inked up and stamped off twice till I had the softness I wanted in colour.

Used the dots from Gorgeous Grunge that had been stamped off for area inside the sponging.

Punched some flowers using the flower from  the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack and topped them with pearls.

Had to sponge some Tangelo Twist ink onto the white cardstock as I had no Tangelo Twist cardstock left.

Thank you

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 14

Hello and welcome to my blog. You may have just hopped across from Marlene's blog and enjoyed the card that she made this fortnight, so many great ideas and everyone does something gorgeous.

The pic I am going to share this fortnight has a little story with it. I was sitting quietly on the back wood area in the late afternoon watching the babies and the adult kangaroos come up to feed. The babies were playing and one picked up a sod of grass and dirt in his paws and I couldn't resist clicking away. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Now onto the sketch that Teneale has given us to work with:

I had a few different card ideas but what did I need ...a girlie birthday card with lace. I am loving the beautiful Sahara Sand lace so had to include that. Then I needed bright colours as she loves bright things. Used a bloom from "Bloom with Hope" (my sisters' would know the correct name for the flower). 
I have been informed (lol) that it is a Gerbera

Used the background stamp-" Something Lacy"  and the happy birthday from the "From the Herd" stampset. 
I changed  my mind a few times with this card on what was going into the squares..
Hope you like it as much as my friend will.

and the inside of my card
