May Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Are you looking forward to the Coronation Weekend?  It kind of slipped my mind when I was planning this week's inspiration so there is not a crown in sight I'm afraid! My youngest has gone into school wearing red, white and blue!

When I was making this card it was sunny so once again, I went a little tropical and chose bright vibrant colours for my images.

I die cut a frame and used distress ink to add colour and some water to give it some texture.

Here is the picture that you can take inspiration from and pick 3 elements or more - colours count as one.  I used the colours, fruits and blue background on mine.  You can see more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

Have a great long weekend and see you next week!

April Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a quiet week as my youngest has gone on a 'holiday' to my Aunt's house.  He loves it there as he cooks with her and my cousin has been entertaining him so they've been out and about.

As it's the first Friday of the month it is the Elemental Challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers and I've been inspired by the photo Dawn picked to make a card for one of my niece's upcoming birthdays.

I used the Tonic Studios 'I love you fairy much' stamp club set.  It's an older set but I love the die set that comes with it as it has such a pretty frame which I die cut in white.  I placed it over a distressed oxide background I created.

I stamped a fairy and a toadstool image out then coloured in with my Nuvo Alcohol markers.  I added a Nuvo clear gloss to the toadstool and a glitter gloss to the fairy wings to finish.

This is the photo Dawn chose and I have picked the colours, toadstool and foliage as my 3 elements.  You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

I hope you have a wonderful Bank Holiday Weekend and I'll see you again soon,

Good Times Ahead - Tonic Studios Stamp Club Launch

Happy Thursday!

It's that time of the month for the new release Tonic Studios Stamp Club set.  This set has a number of heartfelt sentiments that can be used to encourage and support friends and family.  The Good Times Ahead stamp and die set is available using my affiliate links here:

UK & Europe:  HERE

USA: HERE

The first card I made using the set I picked on the floral stamps.  I stamped and die cut the wreaths then coloured them in with alcohol pens.  I stuck them on a slimline card and matted it onto glitter card then peach cardstock.  I stamped various sentiments into the centres of the wreaths.

For my next card I used the Tonic Studios Scribble Frames - Rings Die Set to make a circular card base from blue card.  I die cut a scribble ring from silver card and stuck it on top.  I then stamped and coloured my images before die cutting them out.  I glued the images on the card and stamped a sentiment to finish.

It's such a versatile stamp set with a combination of florals and rainbows together with encouraging sentiments.

See you again soon,
