Make it Simple Monday - Sale-a-bration - Detailed Dogwood

 Well here we are again on Monday morning once more. I'm so pleased to be here too as all of last week we were moving thinkgs from one room to the other. My son Jonathan and Daughter-in-law Jemma have recently had an orangery built for me for my crafting. They also decided to replace all of the flooring downstairs except my room! OH BOY!! It's been chaotic! I am so glad to be here creating once more as I've missed it! So this week I am going to show you some projects that I will be making with some of my Sale-a-bration items. The first one is Detailed Dogwood stamp set. 

I have co-ordinated it with another SAB, the Heartfelt Hellos as well as Biggest Wish one of my favourites from the annual catalogue. A simple card today for and I have used another SAB piece of the designer series paper called Softly Stippled DSP.

Watercolour Wednesday - Children's Cards

 Well, today's card started somewhat odly. I started off by laying several rows of low tack tape across a cutting board and sliced each one into 4 pieces across the length. I wasn't fussed that they were all different widths either. I added each strip randomly across a white card base then I stamped a block onto each colour of ink pad. I added water to each colour and watercoloured all of the shapes. It was really a lot of fun! I used the stamp set called Biggest Wish as I thought that it needed a really BIG sentiment across the front and using the little stamp in the set, stamped the 13, for the teenager's birthday.

To make the lines pop on the card, I cut thin strips of white card and glued them across the lines to accentuate the shapes.
