Shimmery simplicity. ..

Today simplicity is the key.
A single layer card made from a piece of shimmery card stock and using the masking technique to create a highlighted are for the sentiment.
To create the flowers I spritzed pool party reinker mixed with water and rich razzleberry reinker mixed with water onto shimmery card stock then punched the flowers out. I then used my sponge daubers to ink up the edges.
This card was inspired  by a card the lovely Tracy from Bedlam and Butterflies created.
In real life the card has a gentle shimmer and sparkle.
I hope you've enjoyed this week's  inspiration.
Next week the inspiration will be supplied by Gill so we're  in for a treat. 😊
Have fun

One of my favourite colours is the gorgeous neutral crumb cake it goes so well with every colour.
And in my opinion it looks fab with pool pary and crisp white!
The flower is simply heat embossed in white to make it pop.
What's your go to colour?

Teabag rosette how to....

Here's a few instructions on how I created the teabag rosette from yesterday's inspiration.
I used the tag punch from Stampin ' Up! .

I then punched out 10 tags and 1  x 2" circle  from double sided pattern paper. 

Then with the top of the tag on your left fold the top long side across

Next fold the piece back to the top edge

Now fold the remaining 9 tags in the same way

next I put tombow  liquid  glue over the 2" circle and start to create the rosette

 

When you're happy with the effect place another smaller circle in the centre to secure then decorate as you like 😊

Hope this has helped 😊 

Have fun

Soft and subtle. ..

I do love to get messy when I craft 😉 lol
For this card I embossed the white mat then used my sponge Daubers to gently apply ink randomly over the embossed areas.
To highlight the center I got my oval framelits out and created a frame. I also used the cute little punches available from the spring summer  catalogue from Stampin ' Up! .
I don't usually go for pastel colours but the pool party works so well withe the other colours in the subtle  family.
Have fun

Who's for tea??

Today I've  done an old technique teabag folding.
For the rosette I've used the tag punch and pattern paper and punched out 9 tags. Folded them then stuck them to a circle of card to create a rosette.
This card also features a little sparkle in the pool party ribbon bow in the center.
Have fun

A colourful start...

This weeks inspiration is all about colour.
Not any colour but the gorgeous  pool party from Stampin' Up!
All the cards feature the colour in card stock, ink, re inkers and pattern paper and ribbon. As with all Stampin' Up!  Products the card is the same as the ink ...etc. But it also  Co ordinates with the other colours in the range exclusively available from Stampin' Up!
Today's  project  features one stamp, one ink, one coloured card stock,  white card and a little bling.
The stamp is the fab #imbringingbackbirthdays
I hope you'll  pop back tomorrow to see what else we have in store for you
Have fun
