Living in a Fantasy Land....

Hi All,

Hope you are all enjoying the gorgeous weather!! I'd enjoy it more in the garden with a cocktail! But after a lovely holiday in Wales last week it's back to the grind stone. We weren't quite as lucky with the weather but it was perfect Snowden climbing weather (not quite the terrain i expected!!) and we did manage a lovely sunny day at the beach.

Today I'd like to share with you a card i made for class recently - which I think I will be making quite a few more of! - using Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud inks which are fairly new out from Creative Expressions and some of the newer release Woodware stamps by Francoise Read. 

For the background I used Smoothies to sponge the Chalk Colour Cloud inks onto white laid cardstock and then used Tim Holtz's spritz and flick technique to create the faux bleached splotches. I then scraped Cosmic Shimmer Texture Paste through a star mask up the left side and stamped the heart in clear embossing ink and embossed with one of the WOW! glitter embossing powders.

The Woodware Unicorn stamp was stamped in Versafine Grey ink and embossed in a clear sparkle embossing powder. I coloured him with the Chalk Colour Clouds and for the heart I used a zig glue pen and WOW! Sparkles glitter - love these!! I stamped the sentiment from the Woodware Fantasy Land set using the Chalk Colour Clouds again - so versatile!!

Thanks for reading! 

Bye for now

Relax....Father's Day Slippers

Hi All,

Thanks for joining me. We're still enjoying lovely weather aren't we! I'm off to Wales for a week next week, so I'm sure that will change lol.

Today I would like to share a card I made for class last week using the Woodware Man Slippers stamp. I have stamped my base image on kraft card and then another on some Fancy Pants patterned paper. I cut them both out and coloured in some of the trim.  

The Father's Day words are from another Woodware set - Wearing it Well. And the diecut letters are Tim Holtz Block Talk.

All backed onto another piece of Fancy Pants, which is distressed anyway, but i paper scraped the edges, added some distress ink and some splats to grunge it up a little more :-)

This would make a great retirement or birthday card as well. 

Bye for now

Lisa
