Brighter Days

Hey & Happy Sunday!

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend? I've spent the majority of it relaxing, though we did take a leisurely walk out yesterday morning and today I am spending a couple of hours in the studio before dinner to tidy a little and also have a little 'play' with my supplies! 

I was looking through Pinterest and I'm back with another pinspired creation...

This is the pin which I was inspired by...

Original Source: I Like to Decorate

As you can see I was inspired by the bright coloured flowers, it's a bit of a dull Spring day here in the North East so this made me happy! 

I started out by stamping the stem from Flower Power #1 repeatedly on the white card panel. I then stamped each of the flower power blooms onto a separate piece of white card using the Rock 'n' Roll inking technique, fussy cut each of them out & adhered them using foam adhesive. 

The sentiment is from BRIGHT Butterflies and is stamped onto a vellum strip and the whole thing is mounted onto a Melon Mambo card base. 

Ok, that's all from me today, I had better do a little bit more tidying as I think next week might get a little busy around here with the April Release on Friday - YAY! Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today :)

Supplies

Card Stock: SU! Melon Mambo, White (Boyes)

Ink: SU! Pumpkin Pie, Lucky Limeade, Tempting Turquoise & Orchid Opulence. PTI Summer Sunrise, Raspberry Fizz & Hawaiian Shores. VersaFine Onyx Black

Stamps: Uniko Studio Flower Power #1, #2 and #3 and BRIGHT Butterflies

Accessories: Foam Adhesive. SU! Vellum

Say it in GOLD

Hey & Happy Weekend!

I've finally found some time & most of all energy to get a little creative in the studio, it's been one of THOSE weeks. Anyway, I am here today with another couple of Pinterest inspired cards, which were both super duper simple thats why I made two!

My first card was inspired by THIS pin...

Original Source

Yep, a literal take on the pin, but it's cute, don't you think? I used the 'Hello' from All Occasion Sentiments #1 and simply stamped and embossed it in gold. The 9.5 cm square panel is then adhered to a 10.5 cm square base card using foam adhesive.

This next card follows suit and is also a literal take on the pin...

HERE is the pin...

Original Source

I simply stamped the 'LOVE' from All Occasion Sentiments #5 in gold pigment ink and then once it was dry went over the top with my gold at you Spica pen, which I also used to draw the hashtag. Like the first card the panel is adhered to the base card using foam adhesive.

OK, that's all I have for today, but I do have another card to share with you all tomorrow, so this time I will be back! Thanks for stopping by today & enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Supplies

Card Stock: SU! Basic Black, White from stash & PTI Raspberry Fizz

Ink: VersaMark, VersaColor Gold

Stamps: Uniko Studio All Occasion Sentiments #1 and #5

Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Foam Adhesive & at you Spica Gold Pen

Butterflies & Flowers

Hey!

Whoohooo for Friday! I hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday, if not hopefully todays cards will brighten your day.

My first card uses a Sizzlets Leaf Die I have for a while now but never used - oops! I made a decision this year that if I have supplies I don't use often or are still brand new, I have sell them. This leaf die is too lovely so I had to get it used! 

I used a 1 3/4" circle punch & PTI Limitless Layers die to create the 'flower' which was stamped with the flower trio from BRIGHT Butterflies. 

For my next card I paired BRIGHT Butterflies with Pure Florals: Gerbera which go together so well, even if I do say so myself! Haha! 

I started out by stamping one of the Gerbera flowers on a soft stone base card in grey ink. I then created a frame by trimming a rectangle out of smokey shadow card & used my ruler & craft knife to cut out a smaller rectangle. 

Todays cards feature LOTS of pink, as I was Pinspired! Pinspired is a NEW challenge blog HERE.  I LOVE Pinterest as there is SO much inspiration & ideas over there that when I found this challenge blog that combines Pinterest with the love of paper crafts I had to play along!

They are only onto challenge #3 and below is the current Pinspired picture and you can also join in HERE...

Ok, so that's all from me today. Until tomorrow, thanks for stopping by.

Hugs!
