Using SU! Perfect Mix Stamp Set with a FREE Ribbon Layering Photo Tutorial

Hello!
I have another card today using the Perfect Mix stamp set. This time I used the images in the set to create a background which I watercoloured in pastel colours using my SU! ink pads for what I think is a very 50's vintage feel, take a look....

 Again I stamped with Memento ink on shimmer white card to watercolour.
I was inspired by some spatulas I have here at home in these colours ;-)

 I have seen this ribbon effect a lot in SU! catalogues so I wanted to give it a go but I found it to be a little fiddly so I decided to make a little tutorial for you sharing an easy way of creating this effect, please scroll down!

 This is how I added the ribbon effect behind the sentiment on this card!

 and one final photo for today :-)

So, I hope you enjoyed todays card and little tutorial? Let me know if you have a go!

Using Perfect Mix and Love Sparkles for a Retro Pastel Card

Hello there,
 I have been looking at this stamp set - Perfect Mix - for a little while as it does appeal to my love of all things vintage and of course, punny! So I finally succumbed and purchased it and made this card with the cute mixer from the set....

 I watercoloured the mixer with Blushing Bride and Wisteria which followed through to the rest of the card.

 Those sweet little stars in the background are from Love Sparkles...

 ...and I finished todays card with some matching sequins from my stash and a lovely enamel heart in Blushing Bride too.

So, I do hope you have enjoyed today's card?

Watercoloured Stripes Video Tutorial teamed with Perfect Mix Stamps

Hello!
I have a fun card and a video tutorial for you today :-D
As requested by Linda last week (thank you Linda!) I made a quick video for you sharing how I watercoloured the stripes, the same as on THIS CARD.
I did make a new card for you in the video which I'm going to share with you first today. It uses the punny stamps "Perfect Mix" which is a lovely retro style stamp set, take a look...

I stamped onto shimmer card using memento ink and then watercoloured these eggs.

TIP 1: This ink is waterproof but you do need to dry it completely before starting to watercolour (I like to give it a quick blast with a heat tool).

TIP 2: I also would recommend not using lots and lots of water, a drier watercolour brush works just as well and doesn't make the memento ink run ;-)

TIP 3: Memento is much kinder to your photopolymer stamps than staz on. 

 Loving these stripes right now, so summery! I want to paint them in so many different colours....

 So, here is the video for you, it's only 6 minutes or so, so not a long one today :-)

I think this would be a great card for a man with these colours but you could of course pretty it up with some ribbon or twine and make it more feminine if you wanted to, don't you think?

OK, one last photo for today :-)
