Fable Friends for Inspire. Create. Challenges

**EDIT** Well, didn't I make a giant mess up of this post? This was supposed to post on the 20th March but I managed to post it on the 14th and unfinished post at that! *facepalm*
So, as so many have seen it already I'm just going to leave it at the top of my blog until the 20th and apologise profusely to my teammates! I do hope you'll head over to the ICC blog and see their inspiring makes today too! xx
Hello there,
Today I have a card that we made at class this week using the Fable Friends stamp set which ties in (loosely) with the theme at Inspire. Create. Challenges theme of "Pets"

As I don't really have any pet stamps I figured this little duck would work well as lots of people keep ducks as pets, right?

 I stamped the image with staz on ink onto watercolour paper before colouring with blender pens and ink pads. You could also stamp with memento ink then heat with clear embossing powder, if you don't have staz on, before watercolouring.

 I added gingham papers across the bottom of the card and a few little hearts from the Forever Lovely stamp set.

TIP: For stamping onto textured watercolour paper a stamparatus is perfect so you can restamp a couple of times to get a good, clear image.
I hand cut the duck, adding her to a velum oval and finishing with a sentiment also from the Fable Friends stamp set, layered onto a Pretty Label punched tag.

So, I hope you have enjoyed today's post whether this is the first or second time you have seen it!

Flying Home for Easter

Hi there,
Today I have a card using the Flying Home stamps made for Easter :-) I adore this set and if you need an easy Easter make then this is fab, see....

 I stamped on regular whisper white card as I coloured this image with Blends but you could also use ink pads and an aqua painter too. Just stamp on Shimmer card, thick white card or probably the best, watercolour paper, instead.

 Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments, I haven't used this set in a while!
TIP: To trim it out easily, use the Classic Label Punch and trim the ends square.

 The pretty, yellow paper is the Bubbles and Fizz Sale-a-Bration DSP. I think what is considered the reverse is what I've used the most. Gotta love double sided DSP!

OK, that's all from me for today, what are you making today?
Back tomorrow with more crafty goodness!

Spring/Easter Blog Hop with the Jems

Hello and welcome to another Jems blog hop!
First of all, apologies for being so quiet! We had our crazy birthday week here and deadlines galore but, I have been taking pictures and editing photos so I will be back sharing some cards, starting today :-)
Today, for this hop, we are celebrating Spring/Easter! Ha ha ha! As we are in the grip of about the snowiest week in about 30 years, perhaps we should have done a little time travelling to this week before choosing the theme, lol!

Anyway, let's get on and share something springy. I designed this card for my Blends first class, this stamp set is just lovely for any kind of colouring and especially good if you are new to colouring as the elements are small but it's equally great if you are like me and just love to colour!

 I can't help but love these Sale-a-Bration notecards. About SaB, there is just a few weeks left to earn free goodies with your order. More items have been added to the selection too (take a peek at the adorable Springtime Foils DSP and the Blossoming Basket Bundle)! You can find the links HERE.

 I used some blushing bride glimmer paper from my stash before realising it's retired but Dazzling Diamonds or the new Myths and Magic (Iridescent , Turquoise and Green) paper would work well here too :-)

 I keep going back to this stamp set so I hope you are enjoying it too ;-)

So, that's all from me for today, you are off to the ever talented Amanda next who, I'm sure is about to dazzle you!

Thanks for looking today, I'll be back tomorrow with another make :-)

Pastel Basket Bunch Bunnies for Easter

Hello!
I have a fun and easy card today to share with you using Basket Bunch. I stayed with a clean, pastel colour combo to make this sherbert-y card, take a look....

 I stamped on thick white card and watercoloured with matching ink pads for a subtle colour to each bunny. I then added a little wink of stella in clear to give them sparkle!

 And finally finished with a little (retired) twine bow.

Well, that's all from me for today! Thanks for looking today :-)
