Flowering Desert for an Inspire. Create Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to today's second post. Yes, I actually wrote another quick, but (hopefully) informative post earlier today about the retirement list so if you'd like to read it head HERE.
Anyway, back to today's post and we have another challenge at Inspire. Create and this fortnight it's a wonderful sketch, my favourite kind of challenge! Let's see this sketch first, shall we...

I have chosen to use the Flowering Desert stamp set and a technique I first shared with you about two years ago in a video HERE.
For a completely different look with this image I used a Lovely Lipstick and Blackberry Bliss colourway...

I shared  the video with a basic technique but I did alter it a little by stamping these images onto watercolour paper and also adding in a little extra ink to enhance this image even more as I watercoloured.

 I used the Subtles embossing folder for the card layer behind the image which gives a textured card effect.
The watercoloured paper layer is also longer than the rectangle die in the set and I have a super quick video which I'll share with you tomorrow along with a second card ;-)

 Layered onto a Blackberry Bliss base and add in a touch of black twine and that's it!

Since I made this card the RETIREMENT LIST has been released and this stamp set is one of the ones on it :-( There is much more information on THIS POST that I published earlier today! Please do head over to my shop and take a look before your favourites sell out... 

Finally please do check out the amazing inspiration from the rest of the DT for this sketch challenge HERE!
Thansk so much for looking today and we do hope you'll join in with this challenge!
happy stamping :-)

A #snapchat inspired #flowercrown #cactus Card using Birthday Fiesta by SU!

Hello,

So today I have a fun card using Birthday Fiesta which was totally inspired by the #flowercrown filter that everyone (except me!) is using on #snapchat. Mostly I'm not using it because I don't have snapchat! But all the really cool kids are ;-))))
Any-way- let's move away from how uncool I am take a look at the card shall we?

 I used the googly eyes again and added a mouth using the tiny heart from the Layering Love stamp set.

 The sentiment is also from the Birthday Fiesta stamp set and I used Flirty Flamingo with Smoky Slate as a colour combination.

 The lovely slate colored heart paper is from the "A Little Foxy" paper pad.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed todays "cool" card? Let me know in the comments ;-)

Llama Love Card using Birthday Fiesta stamps by Stampin' Up!

Hello there,
Today's card is a llama card in a Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay colour combo for a fun, party-style card! Take a peek...

 I used the baby wipe technique (for a video tutorial please see HERE) for the rug and tucked a little strip of pompom trim under for a bit of a fun twist.

 I used the same baby wipe ink pad for the sentiment which is from the hostess set Pun Intended.

 Die cut streamers in matching colours

I die cut the llama too before popping him up on dimensionals.

OK, that's all from me for today, I'll be back tomorrow with more! Thanks so much for looking today :-)

 The sentiment is from the Better together stamp set, a very versatile set with lots of cute sentiments.

Well, that's all fro now, I'll be back tomorrow with more!
