Last minute rainbows!

For whatever reason, I could NOT come up with a naughty rainbow card for the challenge & DT call at Naughty or Nice - they kept turning out nice. Pffft! Since I'm just about out of time, here's what I came up with :)

Supplies: All stamps from Paper Smooches; Palette Noir ink; Distress inks for watercolouring; Diamond Stickles; Tim Holtz design ruler & embroidery supplies

Supplies: Paper Smooches stamps; Palette Noir ink; distress inks for watercolouring; Lil Inkers rectangle die; transparency sheet & rainbow sequins

The challenge and DT call ends today, so if you've been meaning to post you should probably get crackin' ;)

Shopping our Stash #247 - You stamped with WHAAAA?

This is a super fun and unique challenge this week at Shopping our Stash - stamp with something not intended for stamping :) I tried a number of things - felt flower, sea urchin, bottom of a banana, cd case...and finally went with the lid of a nail polish bottle!

Supplies: Lil INkers sentiment and sun/cloud dies; Memory Box 'splat' die; distress inks; Versamark, clear EP, Palette Noir ink

I stamped the background onto watercolour paper and then lightly brushed with my water brush so as not to eliminate the double circles from stamping.

So what other crazy things did we stamp with? Check out what the rest of my awesome teammates made!

And you have until Monday April 18 to come play!

Shopping our Stash #246 - April Fools!

This week at Shopping our Stash we want you to fool us - a little ;) Use a faux technique, or include a hidden element on your card. I went with my favourite faux technique, faux tiles:

Supplies: Stamp from Hero Arts; Palette Noir ink; Distress inks for watercolouring; UTEE and Versamark; trims from stash

I used 3 layers of UTEE to get nice thick tiles, and then crackled them just a little bit before adhering them to the card.

Check out what the rest of my awesome teammates made!

And you have until Monday April 11 to come play!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #346 - A Day for Daisies!

Good morning! Slowly getting back on track after being sick - feels good to at least get my design team cards finished, even if my bathroom still needs cleaning ;) This week at Tuesday Morning Sketches we have a new sponsor joining us - A Day for Daisies!

Supplies: Stamp from Stamplorations; Versamark & white EP; Tattered Rose distress ink; Cuttlebug embossing folder; lace, button, and seam binding from stash

After heat & dry embossing I lightly sponged with the Tattered Rose ink to give a bit more definition to the card :)

Here's the sketch:
