Smiles for you

Sunflowers and smiles just seem to go together perfectly.  This card features the newly released Sunflower Stamp set from Kennedy Grace Creations.  Its just beautiful and so great to colour. I used my Derwent Coloursoft pencils and added a few white dots to the centre.  I finished it off with a few Moonbeams sequins also just released, this mix is an absolute must have.  It just adds that extra little bit of sparkle.

So here's a smile from me to you !!!

See you back soon

August Kennedy Grace Release

 You should be arriving here from the wonderfully talented Cindy.

 

For my card I used the Time to Blossom stem, stamped several times.  I added sequins from the new mix called Mother of Pearl which is going to be one of those "go to" mixes.  Trust me its gorgeous. The sentiment is from the July release stamp set Sunflower.  I was playing around with white ink on black.  I like the drama it adds to the softness of the blooms.

Head to the store for all the new releases featured below (click on the logo), including the introduction of two wonderful die sets.  Mine have only just arrived so pop back soon as I'm going to play with them over the weekend.

To celebrate or August Release we will be giving away to 1- lucky winner a $15.00 gift certificate to the Kennedy Grace Creations online store.

Splendid Roses

One of the July release stamp set from Kennedy Grace Creations is this beautiful or should I say "Splendid" Roses stamps.  It did take me quite some time to colour this but it was worth the effort.  I used my coloursoft pencils after stamping the image in grey for a softer line.  I fussy cut the little parts of the leaves and buds that would have been under the circle and added a small strip of red stripe along the bottom with a smattering of the gorgeous new sequin mix called Moonbeams, such a useful, go with anything mix.  The sentiment is from the same set although because the grey and white paper is textured it hasn't stamped so well (didn't think about it at the time).

Make sure you pop over to the blog to see all the other wonderful creations using this same set.

See you soon!!

Lollipop Trees

I had a bit of fun making this card.  It went completely off track as my cards often do.  I'm featuring one of the new dies from the Crisp Fall Day, Frantic Stamper release available for pre sale now. It's called Lollipop Trees.

I used the Scene Builder die set to cut my foreground then stamped and coloured little flowers. I die cut the trees in gingham and placed them amongst the hills.  This is where I added a little bit of whimsy with the bows and the little monster.  He does look like he's running down the hill to hud someone hence my choice of sentiment.  Finishing touch a few clear sequins.

Spooky House

I'm sharing another card today made for the Frantic Stamper Spooky Halloween release.  I had in my mind the idea of a moonlit haunted house rather than a silhouette.  So I used orange as my background and coloured the Haunted house with the intention of it basking in the moonlight.  The trees, fence and moon are all part of the Spooky Accessory die set.  I also used the Stitched background edger die to create my hillside.    Just on a side note, although I didn't end up using it on my project, you can successfully cut the top part off this house to make a single level cottage. Cool huh!!
