Floral Stamped Cards With And Without Colour - CrafTangles DT

Happy Thursday!

What a week it's been - lots and lots of papercrafting going on with very tight deadlines.  I've really enjoyed it and even though I have more work to complete I took a break to finish off these floral cards that I coloured in last week.

I find colouring therapeutic.  I need time to colour - it's something that can't be rushed for me.  So in this post I've picked a couple of the latest floral stamp sets from CrafTangles.

For my first card I used my Zig Clean Color Brush Pens on watercolour card.  The tulips are just gorgeous aren't they?  Roll on Spring!

Next up I used the same stamp set but no colouring.  I just felt the stamp was so detailed and gave such a crisp image that it didn't require any colour.

Instead I masked off the image and used my distress inks to create a colourful background with some spatters of water for added effect!

For my final card,  I opted for kraft card which lends itself so well to coloured pencils.

I love my Chameleon pencils as they have just the right consistency so you can control your shading  easily.  A couple of stitched die cuts finished the card.  You can find more detailed information on how I made these cards on the CrafTangles blog HERE.

I'm afraid I won't be blogging my usual Friday post tomorrow but I'll be back next week!

What A Wonderful World - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Hasn't the weather been glorious?  Think there's a heatwave forecast for next week as well......summer has finally arrived!

A new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers has been set by our Kathy and she has chosen the lyrics of 'What A Wonderful World' as it's close to her heart.  You can choose to incorporate all of it or parts of it and of course as it mentioned rainbows I was ecstatic!

I had this idea in my head of using my stitched dies to make a rainbow and I think it works don't you?  Just an addition of some glittery clouds, sun and and gems to finish.  The sentiment is a stamp from an old issue of Quick Cards Made Easy.

So, there you have it.  Lots more inspiration on the Daring Cardmakers Blog HERE and I hope you'll join in as there's so much to choose from in this challenge.

Birthdays parties and a charity drop in are on my agenda this weekend.  Hope you have a good one whatever you get up to!

See you again soon,
