Penny Black Cup of Tea and Friends for Paper Players #416

HI Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Anne-Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a sketch for us: You all know how layers scare me these days, BUT... I must say, AM was very constrained as there are only four - and I can handle that :-) I purchased this fabulous Penny Black set from Ellen Hutson when they were having a 20% off sale. Tea is my drink of choice - other than Chardonnay :-) Some of you have already heard this story.... but I have to start every morning with my Irish... Read more →

Wildflower Sympathy for AddictedtoCAS #148

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Barb's turn to host our challenge this week and this is her code word: Although CAS is my "thing", I really do find one layer cards difficult:-) I do hope you will play along with us this week. If you do, and you are chosen as the winner, the fabulous Kylie is offering up a $20 gift card to her online store Happy Little Stampers (HLS) I needed a sympathy card and decided that the Altenew Wildflower set would be perfect.

I was able to find the perfect Penny Black stamp at Ellen Hutson. I decided that I would use the no-line watercoloring technique for this challenge. I got out my liquid... Read more →

Wildflower Garden for Paper Players #414

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's my turn to host the Paper Players challenge this week and it's a color challenge: I had leaves in mind when I chose these colors, but decided to go with a floral instead! I started with the flower itself - Altenew's Wildflower Garden. I love this set, although I haven't quite brought myself to make a garden card out of this set yet! I used the Watercolor Stripes stencil on the card base with some Crushed Curry equivalent ink. I know it's hard to see, but the lines really are there :-) Let's see if... Read more →

Leaf Canopy Birthday for Addicted to CAS #147

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Stephanie's turn to host our Addicted to CAS Challenge this week and she chosen this keyword: I was so tempted to make another fall card, but decided to go in a completely different direction! I started by stamping the leaves diagonally on two corners. This set is from Altenew set called Leaf Canopy and I love the fact that this is an outline stamp and I can choose to color the leaves with my Copic markers. I kept the color scheme really simple - green and gold. Here's a closeup of the leaves:... Read more →
