Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger - Painterly Palette -2nd Card

This is my second card for the challenge.
For this one I randomly daubed Distress Stains. I love the looseness and the cropping.
Must Link now!!

 


 
Thanks Moxie Fab for streeeeeetching me a little more on my creative journey.
 
Have a great week crafting..........

Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger - Painterly Palette

I seem to be chasing my tail somewhat this week. I have had these cards in mind over the weekend but had to wait until this morning to make them. The linky closes at 4pm on a Monday here in New Zealand.
The inspiration image is so gorgeous, have a look.



For this card I was inspired by the grey negative pattern. When I squinted, it was very obvious.





I used punches for the circles.
Last night I trialled the above idea in Publisher, is the trial better??
 
 

Thanks for dropping in.

Fresh Summer Breeze

Good morning!
I am joining The Shabby Tearoom's Week #176 Fresh Summer Breeze Challenge today.
The inspiration image is so fresh and clear, I really loved working with these colours.
Lots of layers..............lovely.
It's such a lovely fresh Spring morning, I don't normally see the sun this early (I am a night owl), but the linky closes in just over an hour so I am PJ posting!

 
 

 The sun was just peaking through when I took this photo...........

 
 

The sentiment is from a Hero Arts Stamp Set. Layers are cut with a Spellbinders scallop die, and a Label Die. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch The felt flowers are from Papertrey Ink dies. The other two blue flowers are Paper Shapers punches.

Might sneak back to bed.........hmmmm!
Until next time, take care.

ric#40 - Stella McCartney

Just had to sneak into the Runway Inspired Challenge....such a cute image.
Really, really fast post!

 
 
The first elements for the card were the '4U'. The rest of the card developed from there.
 



The sentiment is part of a Hero Arts stamp.
The paint splotch and the wee arrow are also Hero Arts.
The Heart is a punch I have had for some time.
The lips were hand cut.
The lips and the heart are embossed.
The 'jewel' is from an old necklace.


Must dash.
Hope you are having a great weekend....happy creating!

Paper Players #155 - Jaydee's CAS Sketch Challenge

Just a quick post to record my card for Paper Players challenge this week.
Following a sketch does reduce the design process substantially......................

A good thing as I am having six friends over for a traditional English dinner tomorrow night. Lots of prep for the dishes, and also making sure everything in the house is squeaky clean  ....................ish!
  

 
This card uses the same stamp and colours as the card in my last post. I do like this Avery Elle flower stamp. Had wee play with double and triple stamping with the stamp positioner. Learnt heaps and will definitely do this again. I have watched several tutorials where the demonstrator made it look so easy to use........................I kinda get it now I have tried for myself. The leaves worked particularly well I thought. 
 



I have used  Hero Arts - Circle Lace (S5319) stamp

*Hero Arts Designblock CIRCLE LACE Rubber Stamp

Flower (dies sold separately) and Sentiment Stamps are from Avery Elle.


Our 4" x 6" Petals and Stems Clear Photopolymer stamp set is perfect to create beautiful cards and layouts.   Stamp the sentiments inside a ring of flowers and leaves.  Create your own bouquet.  The possibilities are endless.
 
 
Our 4" x 6" Handwritten Notes clear photopolymer stamp set is perfect for creating custom fun greetings.  The sentiments included in this set are great for every occasion.  The caret stamps allow you to customize and emphasize the greetings as you wish.
 
Off to polish!
