Watering Can Girl..

Morning all and welcome to other project for Sweet Stamps.  Head on over to Sweet Stamps Challenge  Blog to join in with our challenge and this week to theme is " Watercolours" Check out the challenge blog for more information.  To enter you don't have to use a Sweet Stamps image but if you do you will be entered into the prize draw twice to win a $20 spending spree in the Sweet Stamps store. 

I used a mixture of copics and distressing markers to achieve the shade that I wanted.. I created another of my Triangle shaped tent cards. I like doing these as they are just a little bit different.. The size of this one is 9.5cm x 9.5cm.  You start with an A4 piece of card that you fold in half and trim to your desired size.  On both of the ends of your card score at around 5 cm on each of the ends. This creates the bottom.  I will make a tutorial for this in the near future.

Summer Days with Friends

Hello again this is my second post for today, this time its for Anything Goes Challenge Blog and the theme is "Summer Days". This week Val is hosting the challenge so pop on over and join in the fun. 

For my card this week I decided to try something a little different.  I'm not sure what to call this shape of card as I was just playing around with the folds and ended up with this shape. I think I'm going to go with the name triangle gate fold card.. 

I started by making a 14.5cm x14.5cm card then using my EZ board I scored at A5 gate fold on both sides to create the stand.  I decorated inside as well as the back.  My photo of the whole of the inside came out all blurry which is a pain. 

Here is a close up of the lovely Tilda from last summers collection.

Oooo La La, Have you got the French Flair?

Morning peeps, my inspiration for you on this Sunday morning is another shaped easel card.  This time I have gone for a new design - The French Flair.  It just seemed fitting as I used some new papers "En Francais" from Prima. I teamed up with some exciting dies from the one and only Cheery Lynn...

The sentiment has been stamped using Vintage Photo DI's, the smallest French Flair die was used to create a small tab.  

Here's a close up of the roses that I created. I stamped a small swirl onto the front. Used oodles of distress inks to create a darker colour, folded the petals in half to achieve a more pointed petal. 

Join us over on  Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog tomorrow (Monday 16th April 2012) for the start of a brand new challenge and theme - Birthday.

Cheery Lynn Designs - Easel Card

Hi all and welcome to a lazy Sunday morning here in blog land.  I'm so excited to post my first project for Cheery Lynn Designs.  I wasn't sure what to do at first, so I stuck with a project that I have been making for a while now and Cheery Lynn dies are just perfect for it.
