Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't this the perfect mid-week sentiment?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A, I love lemons, and b, if I'm going to have a drink, I really do like vodka.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, I've had my fair share of lemons thrown at me in my life, so a reminder to make the best of it all is a great thing to keep in mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I saw the current <a href="http://ellenhutson.typepad.com/the_classroom_new/challenge-mix-it-up/" target="_blank">Mix It Up Challenge</a> at Ellen Hutson, which incorporates Avery Elle with Essentials by Ellen, these great lemons came to mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the background I used one of my very favourite stamp sets for creating beautiful backgrounds. The Bohkeh Dots set is full of possibilities!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to heat emboss the sentiment in black, and set one lemon on dimensionals to bring it to the forefront. I felt the bright green and yellow were perfect companions for the sunshine lemons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTddPdr_9vCmhBpKMiwHYcfDpX1M4sMW1xtq3aVoB_v8-qdgZ8FfS75VhQ9RP4HRpfXddwn_FEYnWgOq1Is22QJslQf6L8M26CMaHFkOk5co2sC90NnYY0ThwXlrsM_RIC4i8DePNdmA0/s1600/card-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTddPdr_9vCmhBpKMiwHYcfDpX1M4sMW1xtq3aVoB_v8-qdgZ8FfS75VhQ9RP4HRpfXddwn_FEYnWgOq1Is22QJslQf6L8M26CMaHFkOk5co2sC90NnYY0ThwXlrsM_RIC4i8DePNdmA0/s640/card-3.jpg" width="584" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I gave this lemon a bit of twine to bring in a bit of an organic feel and I love how it looks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the inside, I stamped the lemon again in a light grey ink, and repeated the bright yellow circles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is just such a happy and bright card, it brought a smile to my face. My 25 year old son, Mike, complimented me on it as well, and that was a happily accepted reward. He doesn't compliment often!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a great week, everyone!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone and happy Mother's Day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it fitting to post this seeing as it's Mother's Day. A friends of mine just had her second baby, Norah, so I'll be popping this in the mail tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As well, this one is going in the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-lets-get-sentimental/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge</a>, so head over there to see some amazing cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My wonderful husband took me out for a great dinner last night. We never go anywhere on Mother's Day because everyone else is going there! This way, it's much more relaxed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I "borrowed" this idea from the talented <a href="http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer McGuire</a>. When I saw this I thought it would be perfect for this stamp set, so I decided to give it a try. I think the results are great, and it's a technique I'll definitely use again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPRueENUbRgbvOOQmMBglJ3woRGCUHVuYJjwIHM4e5SlGr58PyA9fdrLckknq2TMVdwPKf0Nc8W9aULJsklCoWFTZlWVO72z4PgvKoBUXn4hgKmdM-WJ1WeqG5UHJczxfTt7q_FBcsp9A/s1600/card-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPRueENUbRgbvOOQmMBglJ3woRGCUHVuYJjwIHM4e5SlGr58PyA9fdrLckknq2TMVdwPKf0Nc8W9aULJsklCoWFTZlWVO72z4PgvKoBUXn4hgKmdM-WJ1WeqG5UHJczxfTt7q_FBcsp9A/s640/card-3.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The technical term for this is pointillism because you use dots or "les points" to create shading in your image. It works amazingly well with Copics, and by using the same concept as regular colouring with Copics, you get great shading results.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also used fun foam as a way to give my card dimension instead of foam tape. I cut both the fun foam and the frames for the card stock using stitched rectangle dies. Cutting the foam is just as easy as cutting paper!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the inside of the card, I cut a matching rectangle and stamped three more of the balloons, used the same three pinks, and the same colouring technique.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, it's hump day and I'm popping in to post this card I painted for the watercolour challenge at <a href="http://livelovecards.com/">livelovecards.com</a>, as well as the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was especially excited because, as I mentioned awhile ago, my husband got me this for my birthday back in March!</div>

I've been playing around with them, and this is the first card I've made with these watercolours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me tell you - if you're into watercolours, these are CRAZY nice!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so happy with them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So. For this card I used Madison has a Margarita. I have a definite soft spot for the Uptown Girls from <a href="http://stampingbella.com/shop/index.php?route=common/home" target="_blank">Stampingbella</a>!</div>

One of the things I really enjoyed about using watercolours was mixing colours to create the skin tones I was looking for. There isn't a "skin tone" per se, but my husband got me the big set, so there's definitely enough colour options to mix it up and create whatever colour you're looking for.</div>

The sentiment that comes with this stamp is probably my favourite too! I mean, really... Who hasn't said this at one point in time??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Tim Holtz watercolour paper. One of my favourite substrates, it's really white and has a nice smooth side that's perfect for stamping and painting. I also stamped the image in Versamark and heat embossed it in black. I really wanted her to stand out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Neenah Solar White 110lb card stock for the base, and I really like this weight of paper for card bases.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added some little rhinestone jewels from Stampin' Up!, and coloured them with a Copic marker to match Madison's drink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully in the next photo you'll be able to see the sparkle from them in the light.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For the inside, I spent some time trying to decide what to do. I wanted it to be feminine, since Madison is definitely a girly-girl. I didn't want to go crazy, because I wanted to leave lots of white space so I could write a good long note to a friend. I took one of the flowers from A Bunch from <a href="http://waffleflower.com/" target="_blank">Waffle Flower</a> and created a bit of a border in Basic Grey dye ink from Stampin' Up!.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For most of the flowers I stamped off once, but left three of them at full strength to add a little variety. Come to think of it, it would have been cute to stamp those three in pink!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

AHHHH! Fun, fun, FUN!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does it get any cuter than this?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first card with front/back images, and I love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As usual, I have another idea for this particular image. This is one of those times when you make the card and then come up with a bigger, better version of it (so stay tuned!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just adore this particular set from MFT. It's got a ton of different images and possibilities, and that makes your dollar go a lot further.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the outside of this one, I used my Cuttlebug and a Stitched Rectangle die to cut the window and did some very simple colouring with Copics on the pooch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the Happy using Happy Everything from Mama Elephant, and placed it right in the centre of the window.</div>

The pooch got his head put on straight on the inside, so he's looking in at the treats. And seriously, what a makes cute little pup happier than a bunch of bones to eat?</div>

I cut out a handful of his bones using the dies, as well as a bowl to hold one. I wanted to keep the colour palate fairly simple, so coloured his bowl red to match and gave it some oomph with a good layer of Glossy Accents.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've got another card for the <a href="http://waffleflower.com/2015/04/waffle-flower-challenge-april-27-to-may-10/" target="_blank">Waffle Flower Challenge</a>, using the A Bunch stamp set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I LOVE the technique I used for this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flowers were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then coloured in using pigment inks. Because pigment inks stay wet longer, I heat embossed them with clear embossing powder which gives them a delicious shine and texture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Voila!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(You can see the shine in the photo below.)</div>

I fussy cut the flowers and leaves, and adhered them to the card stock, popping one up on dimensionals.</div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The nice weather is here and I've got flowers to celebrate!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stamp set I used is called A Bunch from Waffle Flower, and I used a bunch of the stamps to create this card for Waffle Flower's challenge which you can find <a href="http://waffleflower.com/2015/04/waffle-flower-challenge-april-27-to-may-10/" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the inspiration photo for this challenge, and if I can find time, I've got another idea for another card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Time seems to be an issue these days for me these days!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make this card, I used a few different techniques: Copic colouring, stamping to create a background, and masking to reshape the desired image. These are all great techniques to get a good handle on. The open up many more possibilities for you in card making.</div>

It's a Clean and Simple Sunday with this little hound dog, and he's headed to the <a href="http://www.cardchallenges.com/search/label/sketchchallenge" target="_blank">Sketch Challenge at My Favourite Things</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where else would you want to go on a Sunday?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do love designing CAS cards, I really do. They're honestly my absolute favourite cards to make, and this one was no exception.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, the little hound reminds me of my "heart dog", Trap. Trap was a retired greyhound that we adopted from Florida. He was three when we got him (he was a terrible racer and retired early), and then we had to let him go 5 years later as he was suffering from cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I miss that guy to this day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm off on another sketch challenge, and I think I've followed the sketch more closely than I usually do.</div>

There weren't a lot of materials used for this one, making the term "simple" more apropos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And simple is good these days! It's AprilMayJune at school, (teachers will completely understand my lack of spaces there) and things are CRRAAAAZY as they are every year at this time. Add in there that I teach grades 7 and 8 - which means that the grade eights will be having their graduation and us wonderful teachers do all the work and planning for that, the year end 3-day trip is coming up, which I'm planning, and we're trying to cram everything in before we run out of time. There' a million other things going on in the school as well, and... well... it's just a ridiculous time of year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its was really nice to sit down and have some ME time in my craft room!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've got a really fun card for the Mama Elephant Challenge! Again, I started with absolutely no plan. All I had was the stamp set sitting in front of me, and I just started working from there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really think this is my favourite way of creating these days. Just sit down and see what happens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Carnival Cupcakes set and Copics to create my "balloons". The sky background is Peacock Feathers Ranger distress Ink. I drew some cloud shapes on post-it notes, cut them out and used them as masks while I blended the ink over the card. It's really easy to do, and you can create whatever image you like, anyway you like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My only regret on this card was using the linen twine to hold the balloons. I think next time I do something similar, I'll choose something different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So as this is just a quick "drive by" post, I'll be off!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've got some watercolours to play with!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See you next time!</div>

It's Sunday again, and I keep wondering how that happens! I swear it was Sunday 2 days ago...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Regardless, I have a card all ready for this week's <a href="http://stampingbella.com/blog/" target="_blank">Stampingbella challenge</a>. It's a sketch challenge and Maisy and Madeline are coming out to play! This stamp is just danged cute! And so fun to colour as well.</div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As usual, I didn't completely follow the sketch (I'm such a rebel...). A little creative liberty is allowed, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember having this argument with a prof I had in a photography class. Apparently he didn't like my work, and I argued that just because he didn't like it, didn't mean that it wasn't good. He, I guess, thought he was the definitive voice on photography. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Uh huh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I'll be back with another challenge card, and then I'm off to play with my new watercolours!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
See ya!</div>

Hello and bonjour!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've got another card today and some exciting news! Well, it's exciting news for me, anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
News #1:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago (back in March) I told you that my husband had ordered a set of Kuretake Gansei Tambi watercolours for my birthday. He ordered them right from Japan, and they finally arrived!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can't wait to get busy and start practicing with them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
News #2:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A little while ago I entered a card in a Simon Says Stamp Challenge, and it was a featured card! WooHoo!!! It's so exciting to have your hard work recognized and featured! The post for that card, can be found <a href="http://inkspotpapillon.blogspot.ca/2015/04/clean-simple-birthday-butterflies-with.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> if you're interested in checking it out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
News #3:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I started my YouTube Channel, my first goal was to get to 50 subscribers and I've surpassed that. There's so many crazy talented card makers out there, I felt that getting to 50 would be fairly difficult. I know that I'm constantly finding new artists to watch, so to have 50 people interested in watching what I do is amazing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So,</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok. Onward!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card was designed for the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge</a> and the challenge is to create a background and use products from My Favourite Things. So that's what I did!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiUeuj0aK9i4nXtvsy3eLCyAjcUwobi-JfMWnzB9coFp0eqN2RnGyl6PSk7Fu68BsFDadpGXKFwNeEXuUXDWQxZfcwA9jrmf6LNvKa8xyyDXWH9iqyQPhf6fSfSpS43omC6vVTIwvmK4g/s1600/wednesdayblog-logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiUeuj0aK9i4nXtvsy3eLCyAjcUwobi-JfMWnzB9coFp0eqN2RnGyl6PSk7Fu68BsFDadpGXKFwNeEXuUXDWQxZfcwA9jrmf6LNvKa8xyyDXWH9iqyQPhf6fSfSpS43omC6vVTIwvmK4g/s1600/wednesdayblog-logo.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the background I used the Plaid Background Builder from MFT, and three dye inks from Stampin' Up!; So Saffron and Daffodil Delight - both beautiful shades of yellow, and Smoky Slate, a pretty mid-tone shade of grey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By laying down different inks in a vertical pattern, I created a striped background perfect for my little cats to sit on. The background certainly isn't perfectly straight or evenly spaced, but who wants it to be! When things are a little off, it just screams hand-made, and more importantly, made with love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cats are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink which is a Copic-safe ink and won't bleed or smudge with Copics. The colouring for this card was very simple - nothing fancy and no shading. Just simple colouring. The cats were die cut using the coordinating die set, and I stamped, coloured and fussy-cut two little bows for them to wear in their... hair? Fur?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also used a white Gellyroll pen to give the bows a little pizzazz and to give the cats some whisker and tummy dots. (just because I thought it would be fun!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also wanted to add a banner of sorts for the sentiment, so I chose to heat emboss in white on velum, and I hid the glue marks under the velum with enamel dots in a matching yellow colour. The yellow is actually almost spot on!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the inside, because you know I can't just leave it alone, I used the same cat and Smoky Slate. I stamped off once so that the images would be lighter and fainter.</div>

Happy Tuesday, fellow crafty people!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I'm developing an addiction to challenges...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's true! But I love the "challenge" of coming up with new cards and having to work within a set of parameters, although those parameters are sometimes pretty loose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I inked up the lovely Petunia and set to work last night to come up with something for the <a href="http://stampingbella.com/blog/its-bellarific-friday-sistahs-23/" target="_blank">Birthday Wishes for the Bellarific Friday Challenge</a>. I'm adding this one to those submitted by the other sistahs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Petunia has stolen my heart in so many different stamps. She's just so adorable and loveable. She's in a little world all her own and doesn't care who knows it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Petunia and her little friends are all Copic this week, with a patterned paper from Momenta, and wrapped up with a hot pink bow. Simple!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's one thing I love about these stamps. They all work extremely well in a clean and simple card, and let's face it: clean and simple is definitely my thang. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So with that I'll leave you with a clean and simple post as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next time!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time for another challenge with <a href="http://www.cardchallenges.com/search/label/sketchchallenge" target="_blank">My Favourite Things</a>, and it's a sketch challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the ones I have the most difficulty with, but I'm getting better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a side note, the weather has been beautiful, and the cat is beyond annoyed that no one in the house will let him out in the backyard. He's sitting at the door staring mournfully at the dog sleeping the day away in the warm sunshine. I'm sure the little guy is going to have a breakdown soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know what he's up to though... Our yard is filled with birds of every colour and variety, and yesterday we were treated to the peck-peck-pecking of our resident blue jay and the Star Trek calls of the cardinal who seems to come back to our yard every summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's ok, my feathered friends. I've got your back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, back to the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the sketch for this week. I think I came pretty close even without the star.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started again with no plan. I just dug in and got started. I don't really recommend this approach, unless you've got some time to waste! Fortunately, I did!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started off with cutting a stitched circle and stamping it with Versamark on a Swiss Dots background stamp from MFT, and heat embossing it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Overflowing Joy stamp set from MFT and set about colouring with Copics. I stamped a few extra times so I'd have extra prezzies (and who doesn't like extra prezzies!), and altered the colouring of them just a little to add a tad of variety.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXWQV3sofym1ZmF6bnoDe1tGlxRDVRjwb3vJUx0kpJU5pIKb51l7Je03fsreOCEJ5x1__e9RKAM_RSOFzGBpzyP7mxhYQpI5aSoM5WVfUy2f6q9cfal2ZaFrwb9cCIUzGQiXVd7FNu2RM/s1600/card-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXWQV3sofym1ZmF6bnoDe1tGlxRDVRjwb3vJUx0kpJU5pIKb51l7Je03fsreOCEJ5x1__e9RKAM_RSOFzGBpzyP7mxhYQpI5aSoM5WVfUy2f6q9cfal2ZaFrwb9cCIUzGQiXVd7FNu2RM/s1600/card-3.jpg" height="640" width="504" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a white Gellyroll pen to add some texture with dots to the wrapping and her lovely little smock. (Who says SMOCK anymore! I'm showing my age here...) I also added some clear Wink of Stella to the same areas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems I just can't leave the Wink of Stella alone these days...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but not least, I created a banner from Audrey Blue (Simon Says Stamp) card stock, used on of the sentiments from the same stamp set, and heat embossed it in white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything was mounted on a white card base, topped with Audrey Blue card stock so everything came together nicely. I popped up the girl and one of the present stacks on dimensionals for a little oomph. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the inside, I used another sentiment from the set, and stamped it in Stazon Ink. I used an old Stampin' Up! stamp from the Delight in Life set for the for the little explosion of colour in Simon Says Stamp Maliblue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been having a lot of fun lately, and I'm not done yet! I've got another entry for the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge</a> where the theme is the letter "A".</div>

This time I'm featuring Art Impression's Full Throttle Spinner, although I chose not to make a spinner card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And speaking of <a href="http://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.ca/2015/04/challenge-157-make-me-smile-and-new-ai.html" target="_blank">Art Impressions, this one is one is being submitted for their challenge</a> as well!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't she awesome?!?!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card I used Copics, and coloured the entire card. The image itself was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, as it's Copic safe, and the sentiment was stamped in Staz On, because I love the dark, crisp image it gives you.</div>

I also gave her some legitimate goggles by putting Glossy Accents on her lenses. I love these little touches that really give cards a truly finished look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to texturize the background a little, so I used the Mini Tiny Circle 6x6 Stencil from The Crafter's Workshop and some Soft Sky dye ink from Stampin' Up! to give it a little oomph. An ink daubers from Stampin' Up! was the perfect tool to achieve this.</div>

I love colouring, so this was a really fun card for me. Sitting down with my Copics or whatever colouring tools I'm using is my idea of a nice evening! Maybe I need a life...</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok. Let me start off by saying...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE THIS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(And by the way, hi!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is definitely one of those times when I'm pleased as punch with the end results! It's bright and colourful, clean and simple (my favourite), and just downright cheerful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago I was perusing a few of my favourite websites (which are obviously websites selling all things crafty...) and I came across a stamp set from The Alley Way Stamps called Fly By and I had to have it. That doesn't happen very often... Usually I'm able to control myself, but not this time. This time I saw it, had to have it, and ordered it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was waiting for it to arrive, an idea started to come together, and this is almost exactly what I had envisioned. Fortunately, I have the perfect challenge to submit it to as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/" target="_blank">The Simon Says Challenge Blog theme for this week is the letter "A"</a>, so what better way to get in there, but by using Alley Way Stamps!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLRuV3iHr9LHydMuBNvcnD8jcqtvnm6YP3dgjGXbiLYR3kzjL3UkrtvM91NAc_7phM5HiCJyMBMgoedDXM1vkP4_O1L8NVwROj7Ap56oqy1NZNMmvhyAECtXLjVcOYUJirf2wBpwzWNk/s1600/mon-challenge-badge_zps05647c53.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLRuV3iHr9LHydMuBNvcnD8jcqtvnm6YP3dgjGXbiLYR3kzjL3UkrtvM91NAc_7phM5HiCJyMBMgoedDXM1vkP4_O1L8NVwROj7Ap56oqy1NZNMmvhyAECtXLjVcOYUJirf2wBpwzWNk/s1600/mon-challenge-badge_zps05647c53.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Darlene Devries, over at <a href="http://livelovecards.com/" target="_blank">Live Love Cards</a>, is hosting her second challenge. Rainbows is the theme, and although there's no rainbow here, the colours of the rainbow are. So I hope that it's acceptable, Darlene!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alright. Enough chit chat. Let's get down to business.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Bokeh Dots set from Ellen Hutson Essentials along with Simon Says Stamp dye inks to create the background. Next I stamped one of the butterflies from Fly By in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them in with Copics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJnk9cCNC7u-mbPrevXq3m47RWaG4G-KVADztsNJhkyX0BRj9sIfoK5MeYftjMqG1Ueb7azUSKwWdaa-ulrL5MD4TQqFoxTGPax35Z7H6hfiP221IY8nvS1k64Y-dfJfGUP6FGym8_t8/s1600/card-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJnk9cCNC7u-mbPrevXq3m47RWaG4G-KVADztsNJhkyX0BRj9sIfoK5MeYftjMqG1Ueb7azUSKwWdaa-ulrL5MD4TQqFoxTGPax35Z7H6hfiP221IY8nvS1k64Y-dfJfGUP6FGym8_t8/s1600/card-3.jpg" height="512" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I fussy cut them out, and popped them up on dimensionals from Stampin' Up!. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg5AqIoUUqVMPCkpHbvxowlKjFJGl_bY4kAcbICfjZlS4-8irFpZW5ZTo52hkvnV4rLDoUTMK7_xrF9l9ikP7oJsYJseCkysrSw_NdhbHmeDKduhW583lvkpS3hQZ96jIrYBmLfsRx9h8/s1600/card-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg5AqIoUUqVMPCkpHbvxowlKjFJGl_bY4kAcbICfjZlS4-8irFpZW5ZTo52hkvnV4rLDoUTMK7_xrF9l9ikP7oJsYJseCkysrSw_NdhbHmeDKduhW583lvkpS3hQZ96jIrYBmLfsRx9h8/s1600/card-6.jpg" height="478" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I created a tag using Audrey Blue card stock from Simon Says Stamp, and cut it down so that it fits between the two stitched sides of my card panel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Oops... I'm pretty sure in the video I said "Maliblue card stock")</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card panel was cut using the largest of the Stitched Rectangles from Simon Says Stamp. I used the "happy" and the "birthday" from The Alley Way Stamps Yappy set and heat embossed it in white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used linen thread from Stampin' Up! to add some detail ( I LOVE this stuff!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To wrap everything up, I used my white Gellyroll pen to put some dots on the wings of the butterflies, and coated their wings in clear Wink of Stella for some shimmer. I also used the metallic blue Gellyroll to give the background a few dots as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

For the inside, I used the same butterfly stamp in Maliblue ink, and finished it with one of the dotted butterfly trails, but made sure to leave ample white space for writing a note.</div>

Happy Sunday, everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's pretty early in the day over here, but already the sun is shining and the sky is blue. We had a pretty grey, wet, and windy week so this weather is more than welcome! It's feeling more like spring everyday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card makes me feel like spring. This was one of those times when I didn't have a plan in mind; things came together one step at a time, and took a long time to develop because I spent time trying one thing, then another, and another, until I was happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me, these are likely the most enjoyable cards. You know how sometimes you just get engrossed in something and time passes without notice? Well, this was one of them, and it all began with my new Honeycomb embossing folder from Stampin' Up!.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My new favourite thing is this linen thread. I love it! It's organic, natural, and just beautiful. I used Tombow Mono glue to secure it along the edge of the embossed paper and secured it to the back with my ATG gun. I just love the way it looks, and it really gives that edge a finished look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another thing I really enjoy making is my own patterned paper, and it's so easy! For this I created a tone on tone paper using Pear Pizzazz paper and ink for the bottom layer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having a lot of layers on your card creates interest, depth, and dimension, and doesn't necessarily have to create bulk or height. This card has oodles of dimension because there are quite a few layers, but no dimensionals. The layers are arranged so that they overlap each other which creates it's own dimension. The twine bow gives more dimension to the card.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the inside, I used the same stamps I used for the outside, and used the same colours to keep the continuity of the card, and arranged them in a simple pattern that kept the centre clear for the sentiment and hand written note. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've started using Staz On black ink for my sentiments because I just love how black it is, and I find it gives a really nice, crisp impression as well (and I love the smell!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card is easy to duplicate with any colour or embossing folder. The choices are endless, so go have some fun!</div>

I've been bouncing around ideas for something bright and fun, and this was what I came up with.</div>

For the outside of this card, I used the Bokeh Dots set from Ellen Hutson Essentials, and paired them up with the "Happy" and Birthday" from Paper Smooches Birthday Buddies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each dot was stamped with various colours of Memento LUXE pigment ink (and one from ColorBox), and then heat embossed with Simon Says Stamp clear embossing powder. Pigment ink is sticker and dries slowly on the surface of the card stock instead of permeating the paper. So, it gives you ample time to work some magic with it. I really wanted this card to have some shine, so heat embossing was the perfect solution.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the inside, I chose to use very similar dye ink colours from Simon Says Stamp.</div>

Because the Bokeh Dots set has so many sizes of circles to choose from, I was able to create a "patter" that isn't really a pattern at all! I just love the little tiny dots, and they were the perfect thing to fill in white areas without overdoing it with the bigger circles.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Saturday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first entry into <a href="http://ellenhutson.typepad.com/the_classroom_new/" target="_blank">Ellen Hutson's Mix It Up Challenge with Lawn Fawn</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ran into the same problem as usual, I've still only got two Lawn Fawn sets and I've also only got one Ellen Hutson Essentials set too! Since the challenge is to bring the two products together, this was quite a challenge, but I'm pretty happy with the results.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a really fun card to do, and not like most of the cards I do. It was a challenge to come up with something I liked, but then again, it IS supposed to be a challenge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the images were coloured with Copics. No fancy colouring or shading this time, as the images are pretty small.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Lawn Fawn's Flirty Frames and the Home Sweet Home set, along with the Bokeh Dots set from Ellen Hutson Essentials for the background. I used Simon Says Stamp dye ink, Memento Tuxedo Black, and Simon Says Stamp Green Apple card stock. I love these colours together!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's Good Friday and a good day for a card!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is another card being entered into a card challenge. This time it's <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=2568" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp</a> and the challenge is to use pastel colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card I used the last stamp set I received this year from the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration catalogue. As soon as I saw it, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Sometimes that happens, and sometimes it doesn't, but this time it did. I love it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a lot of birthdays coming up in this neck of the woods so a birthday card was definitely in order.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used 2 colours from my Prismacolours (light aqua and cream), Gamsol, Versamark ink and heat embossing to create this one. Check out the video below to see how it was done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, A bunch of the video disappeared, so the last part of the card will have to happen in your head! I have no idea where it went or how I managed to lose it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favourite parts of this card was using my butterfly punch from Stampin' Up!. I don't know why, but I just love using the punches. They're easy and quick to use, and you get to bypass the fussy cutting altogether. (Sometimes I love cutting things out, but sometimes you just want to get on with it!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing I can tell you is that taking good photographs of white cards is such a pain in the tookus! Especially on a day like today when one minute the sun is shining and the next it's grey and cloudy. The sun was shining bright when I started the video, and about half way through the sun was almost gone, so the lighting in the video is all over the place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I love the way the card turned out. It's another light and feminine card, with pretty colours and soft edges. The Basic Jewels from Stampin' Up! finish the card off perfectly although unfortunately they look dark in the pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this post I'm bringing you a soft, feminine card. I just love the way the colour came out and how it looks against the white. This is along the lines of a clean and simple card - my favourite kind of card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this I used Ranger Texture Paste and the Hearts Heart Confetti stencil from Memory Box to create the basis for the background on Tim Holtz watercolour paper. When you're using texture paste you have to remember than this stuff dries really quickly so you need to move at a pretty good pace. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as you're done, make sure your jar is closed up and that you wash your stencil and any other tools right away before the paste dries. Otherwise, it's a bugger to get off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colour I chose is Spun Sugar, a Ranger Distress Ink. It's a nice soft pink, but not so pale that it fades out. This particular colour will stand up and be visible while not being too "pinky". It's really perfect for a feminine card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Lovely Amazing You stamp from Stampin' Up!. This set is full of sweet sentiments. I also used Staz On Black ink. I find it gives you a really black black and a nice crisp image as well. A lot of people don't like the smell of Staz On, but call me weird - I do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took some watercolour paper that I can painted pink a while ago - again with distress ink in Worn Lipstick, and punched out a bunch of little hearts to use as embellishments. I coated each heart with Glossy Accents to give them some shine, which created the look of enamel dots, and to give the card a little oomph. You can see the gloss in the photo above really well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can watch the video below to see how it came together. For now, I'm off to mark some math tests! Enjoy!</div>

I think sometimes card makers don't really stamp a whole lot as we all tend to get carried with different techniques and pretty patterned papers. For this one, I just felt like stamping!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inside, outside, sentiment, focal - it's all just stamping! SO FUN!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose one of my favourite Stampin' Up! colours for this - Crisp Canteloupe - both for the ink and the paper. I also used Calypso Coral for the darker tones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crisp Cantaloupe is just one of those really pretty colours that looks amazing when paired up with a nice, bright white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Flower Patch stamp set,, and what an awesome set! There are 19 different stamps in the set and they can all be used together or seperately. To complete the sketch challenge, I used some velum and added three enamel dots from Simple Stories and just a few Basic Pearls, also from Stampin' Up!. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was an easy card to make - quick and fun!</div>

Hey everyone!<br />
<br />
Well, it's time for another <a href="http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Paper Smooches Challenge</a>!<br />
<br />
I'm having so much fun with all of these challenges lately. When you're given parameters to adhere to (although loosely), you're really challenged to sometimes think in ways you wouldn't normally think.<br />
<br />
This is the first sketch challenge I've done, and I really found myself having to work at this. It was great though - I was totally absorbed in what I was doing, and before I knew it almost 3 hours had gone by. <br />
<br />
Crazy!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
When I sat down to do this one, I was already tired after a week of work, and it was 7:30 at night. Not my most creative time of the day to be sure. But, one thing that I really loved doing was looking through old stamp sets looking for things I could use.<br />
<br />
I went through about three or four different ideas and designs before settling for this one. I pulled out an old Stampin' Up! set called Mixed Bouquet for the polka dots and large flowers, and incorporated this adorable (but crazed looking) bird with his little party hat from Paper Smooches. <br />
<br />
Again, I really had a hard time because I still only have 2 Paper Smooches sets! (I fixed this problem today though... )<br />
<br />
I also used Green Apple and Khaki card stock from Simon Says Stamp (LOVE the green apple!!!), as well the very sweet floral paper from Momenta.<br />
<br />
Nothing on this card "really" goes together, but I think that's part of the charm of it. It's just a fun, playful card.<br />
<br />
For the inside of the card, I used the same stamp I used on the front from Stampin' Up!.<br />

<br />
See you next time!<br />

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't this cutest image? I just love it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maisey and Madeline have it goin' on! This is another Stampingbella stamp set - adorable image, fun to colour, and I love the font used for the sentiment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I coloured this image with Copics, but I'm looking forward to having another go at it as soon as my birthday present arrives. Yup - it's Happy Birthday to me week and I'm pretty sure my sweet husband ordered this for me:</div>

I loved using copies for this though, because you can get such full colours and great shading with them.</div>

There are a few colours I wished I'd had while colouring it, but I'm really pleased with the way it looks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some Liquid Pearls to the image as well, as you can see here:</div>

Liquid Pearls are a fantastic finishing touch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the inside, I have a small sheet of Tim Holtz watercolour paper that I had painted pink using distress inks, and I've kept it for punching shapes. I punched out a few hearts and added them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also got some exciting news this morning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Well, it's Sunday afternoon and March Break is pretty much over. It's also time for another <a href="http://lawnscaping.blogspot.ca/2015/03/lawnscaping-challenge-distress-addicts.html" target="_blank">Lawnscaping Challenge</a>! Today, the sun is shining and it's really a beautiful day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All this sunshine must be making me feel colourful because I've come up with a really quick little card full of bright, summer loveliness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card you only need a few simple tools:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Watercolour paper<br />
- Ranger Distress Ink or any watercolour paint<br />
- Water spritzer<br />
- Acrylic Block</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQumSOP3AFhEkCtynvX8Ao_H2fFtfpZnzl1iw5PbAoIKNgP6djgvbrab3qDDNK21NTfWroawYLKh6UIJkliLgn93eeH721pvLjGIK5LC9Ss-ycsQj09mEHNw982CDHq9XlSaP6e4v7WpE/s1600/card-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQumSOP3AFhEkCtynvX8Ao_H2fFtfpZnzl1iw5PbAoIKNgP6djgvbrab3qDDNK21NTfWroawYLKh6UIJkliLgn93eeH721pvLjGIK5LC9Ss-ycsQj09mEHNw982CDHq9XlSaP6e4v7WpE/s1600/card-5.jpg" height="420" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use your acrylic block as a vehicle for laying down your ink on the paper in a blocky pattern. You could switch this up to be any pattern or shape you want. If you're not happy with the intensity of the colour, just put some more down to get the results you're looking for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once you've got things looking the way you like, let it air dry, or blast it with a heat tool (which is what I do because I don't have the patience to wait...).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once it's completely dry, trim your work down to the size you want, and adhere it to the rest of your project. I used two different layouts and I like them both!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the bright colours of this card and the airy feel it has. I didn't include a sentiment in either version of these cards. To be honest, I haven't decided who I'm sending them to or for what purpose. I can add a sentiment later once I know, or I can use it just to write a note to someone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This would be a great design to use to create a set of cards to give as a gift as well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, that's it for now. Check out the video below to see how I put it all together from start to finish. The colours made me feel like adding some Cuban music for you to enjoy. :)</div>

It's another card challenge, and this time it's <a href="http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Paper Smooches SPARKS</a>. You can find great <a href="http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/" target="_blank">Paper Smooches products here</a>!<br />
<br />
To be honest, I don't have a lot of Paper Smooches products. In fact, I have exactly two. Kind of sad, actually. Having a very limited choice meant that I really had to stretch my imagination.<br />
<br />
I tried about six different things before I came up with this design, but I'm pretty happy with it!<br />
<br />
The 'Miss you' sentiment is the Paper Smooches part called Sentiment Sampler, and the flowers are from Hero Arts. After searching the actual stamp for a name, I came up with nothing. It doesn't appear to have a name. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I stamped all the images in Versamark and heat embossed them in white. I used Evergreen Bough Ranger Distress Ink for the colouring, added some rhinestones from Stampin' Up! and clear Wink of Stella to highlight the petals, and some black Liquid Pearls for the 'faux brads'.<br />

<br />
For the inside I edged my card stock in the same ink, stamped the flower in the corner, and used Mama Elephant's Happy Everything for the "sending" part.<br />

<br />
Voila! Done!<br />
<br />
I think the most difficult part of this whole project was getting good photography! This colour just doesn't photograph well. It doesn't help that my natural sunlight in my favourite photo spot was fading either. <br />
<br />
That's it for now!<br />

Hello!<br />
<br />
This afternoon I did a quick card. This is something I've wanted to start adding to my blog and YouTube channel for awhile, so keep your eyes open for more Quick Cards!<br />
<br />
I love all the techniques I use, but sometimes it's nice to just stamp.<br />
<br />
You can get all sorts of great results with stamps and ink. For this card I used a stamping off technique. To do this, you ink up your stamp, then stamp it off on a piece of scrap paper, leaving a lighter, fainter image. I either didn't stamp off, stamped off once, or twice. Each time I got varying strengths of colour.<br />
<br />
This card has 4 layers including the card base. Each layer has a different border thickness which provides visual interest. It means that your eye constantly has something different to look at, which also means it holds your attention longer.<br />
<br />
Because the card base is black, for the inside of the card I chose to add a piece of Soft Sky card stock to mimic both the colour of ink and one of the layers. I kept the same image, the small flower and stamped tone on tone, which gives you a bit of a watermark appearance. Tone on tone simply means that you use the same colour for both the ink and paper.<br />
<br />
