Make It SImple Monday - Jolly Words

 Hello and welcome back. It seems so long since I was last here but in truth I know that it was Cary last week. Didn't she do a fantastic job with the Merriest Trees stamps and dies? Brilliant! This week however, I am going for more of a fun vibe. I am using the lovely Jolly Words stamp set and occasionally mixing them in with another sentiment only stamp set. 

This very simple set was crying out for my very simple first card of the week. Only Basic White Card and a Pool Party Ink Pad was all I used!

Watercolour Wednesday - Decorative Borders

 Hello again, Today's card is another green one I'm afraid! Sorry if you don't like green but just imagine what it would look like in lots of other colours! I took a white mat and covered most of it with Low Tack tape except the 2 rectangles. I took Pool Party ink from the ink pad and stamped it onto the block. Adding a little water and mixed up all of the ink and washed it across the rectangle on the mat. I repeated the same process using Coastal Cabana ink and washed the ink over the top rectangle. It had to be left for quite a while to dry as it was very wet with all of the ink and water on. Once it was dry, using the Decorative Borders stamp set.

 I stamped 1 single flower on the left hand side only using the stronger green of Shaded Spruce. I decided that I would emboss the whole mat using the Twigs and Sprigs embossing folder before stamping a sentiment onto a punched piece. The mat was then mounted onto a piece of Shaded Spruce card stock and mounted onto the card base using Dimensionals. Another sentiment and one image which was stamped 3 times to use up all of the ink.
