Test Run using Altenew Cheerful Blooms

Today I am here with my first Inspiration Post for

Bizzy Becs Store Blog 

I recently purchased Altenew's Cheerful Blooms

from our store but unfortunately it is 

out of stock atm and pre orders from Altenew are on hold

due to shipping restrictions. I must have got the last one.

I thought I would try my hand with this 3D folder.

After many attempts I found I need a lot more practice.

So practice some more I will be doing.

I used Bazzill card stock running it through my CB

adding white embossing powder to the flower and

lightly behind it for effect.

I then added Art Alchemy Indian Pink Wax

to highlight it.

Heat embossed my sentiment from the

Dark Room Door Birthday Sentiments

which can be ordered from The Store

Lightly sprayed with Perfect Pearls,

corner rounded two corners and finished with

some pearls. Adhered to white card base.

Here's a few I played with - 

not sure what I will do with them though.

As you can see I used a variety of AA waxes

to see how they looked on different coloured bases.

It was fun experimenting and that's what it is all about - 

enjoying our pastime. 

Our November Challenge over at

Bizzy Becs Store Blogspot is closing soon and we

would love to see your Anything Goes creations

in our Gallery. You could be the Winner of a

Mystery Stamp kindly donated by Bec.

I'll be back to share my new creation

using a cute stamp from The Store

for out December Challenge.

Pop over and see what lovely goodies

there are with so many to choose from.

My Favorite Things - Picture Perfect Stamp Set

Hi and welcome to my inspiration this month.  Today I am showcasing My Favorite Things - Picture Perfect Stamp Set.  I could not resist putting in a pre-order for this stamp set and it didn't take very long for me to receive it from Bec.  I am so glad I chose it - so many possibilities.  

For this card I have used a pre-cut photo frame from Big W's craft section would you believe, and the background paper is from a pad which was probably one of the first paper pads I bought way back when.  This stamp set is great, it has 6 animal stamps, 2 small embellishment stamps and 7 sentiments.  What a bargain!

 Don't forget there is still time to enter our "Anything Goes" Blog Challenge.  See you there.

Carved Leaves....

Hi everyone.

Today is my turn on the blog and I am dropping in to share my card.

I have been playing with stencils, crackle texture paste and Distress Ink to create a male inspired birthday card.  For my background I applied the crackle paste through my stencil and allowed it to dry.  I then applied Distress Ink through my stencil  in Speckled Egg and Frayed Burlap.

My leaves are also a stencil and I inked onto watercolour cardstock and then when dried, I  fussy cut  my chosen leaves.

Supplies used:

Darkroom Door Small Stencil DDSS026  - Carved Leaves

Darkroom Door Small Stencil DDSS016  - Arty Circles

(not currently listed but can be pre ordered)

Darkroom Door Stamp DDSE001- Happy Birthday
