Watercolour Wednesday - Silly Goose

 Well, as usual, today is for watercolouring but I've added a little extra to today's card. Using the Silly Goose stamp set I stamped the goose that I wanted to use and using the 2 sets of watercolour pencils (I LOVE them)! I dipped each colour into a tiny drop of water. YEP! The pencil itself, no brushes today on these little geese. Once I cut them both out, I added dimensionals to the whole one and put both to one side.

Meanwhile, I found a large Deckled Circles die cut and decided to brush some soft blue of Balmy Blue ink pad and then at the top, a little washed out Azure Afternoon ink pad. I say washed out but it's just some of the brighter blue ink and lots more water so that it's not so strong. I decided to emboss the circle, the card base and the inside mat with the wavy folder from the Cheery Patterns folders. It was perfect!

 

Thus or That Thursday - Gift of Giving and Joy To You

 Well...it really is going to be a very wet day today. We have a storm heading our way called Ciaron and it's due to be a doozy! I do hope that it won't be as bad as predicted though. However, trying to keep focused...my cards today are similar but different in as much as one is quite pale and the other bright and Christmassy. My first card is the soft purple of Highland Heather and is an easel card. Very simple and straightforward but some added dimension as I used the lovely circles from the Cheery Patterns embossing folders. 

My That card is traditionally bright red and fun. I stamped the same gift boxes as above but coloured them in very bright colours and added some of the parcels from a piece of paper from the Beary Christmas DSP. 

The Merry Christmas is taken from another stamp set called Brightest Glow.

This or That Thursday - Children's Cards - Circle Sayings

Have I had fun this week! I really have and today's 2 cards are no exception. Again as always there are 2 cards for the Thursday so please let us know which is your favourite please. Today's cards I have used the lovely Circle Sayings stamp set for decoration and as I said warlier, I've had fun! 

 

 

 THIS... The THIS card is a simple one where I stamped 5 cakes onto a white mat and coloured them in using my Stampin' Blends pens. I added some silver ink from a retired ink pad for this one. I added a piece of Vellum cardstock to the front which I embossed with the circles from the twin folders called Cheery Patterns NEW embossing folders. I added the cakes to a blue piece of card in Tahitian Tide and then punched out using the new circle punch 2,3/8". I stamped onto the punched vellum circle my sentiments and using tombow glue, fixed it to the punched, blue circle. 

 

THAT

My alternative card, THAT is another using the same stamp set but this time I stamped of the cakes onto Basic White card, punched each of them out using one of my old punches in 1,1/2". Once again I had fun colouring them all in and then deciding on how to set them onto the card. I had to use a bigger card base this time because of all of the cupcakes! I used a piece of the Holographic Foil which I embossed with the Splatters from the Stripes and Splatters embossing folders. A further circle stamped and decorated completes this card. I used the Alphabet A La Mode dies for the number 12 in some more of the foil.
