...when they are wide open in flight

Hi, Emily here for my very first post as a DT member.  I’m excited to be sharing a card featuring the gorgeous Tiny Townie Blanche the Butterfly.

So sorry for the dodgy photo, not my best effort for my first post but I totally forgot to take a proper one before giving this card to its intended recipient.  This one was taken over cake with my phone!

I’ve coloured Blanche using Tim Holtz Distress Inks before matting the watercolour paper on a sheet of glitter paper and mounting on a card base.  I went with a glitter paper mat to match my sparkling birthday sentiment.

Don’t forget to play along in our current challenge, the theme is always anything goes and you could win a die or stamp selected by Bec.  And for more inspiration follow us over at Instagram at BizzyBec3

Daisy Squidgy Stampingbella card

Hi There

Thanks for joining me for my turn on the blog today.

The card I would like to share with you is made using Stampingbella's Daisy Squidgy stamp.

I have coloured my stamped image with Copic markers on blending card and then used the un-stitched edge of the hillside borders Die to cut wavy lines.

The background is created with Ranger distress oxides in Shabby Shutters and Bundled Sage using a brayer to lay down the colour.

 After die cutting the sentiments out several times I have layered them together and glues them down to create more dimension to my sentiments and help them stand out.

I have also added a bit of clear 'Wink of Stella' to my words and also to the daisy's centre and a few clear crystals for sparkle.

***************

Supplies used:

Stampingbella : Daisy Squidgy stamp

Lawn Fawn: Stitched Hillside Borders die

Creative Expressions Sue Wilson: mini expressions Hello & Hi die

Creative Expressions Sue Wilson: Fabulous die 

(The background die cut is from Tailored expressions called Spotted cutting plate)

Thanks for stopping by and having a look. I hope you're inspired to give some of these ideas a try and don't forget to stop in to have a look at Bizzy Bec's on line store where there are lots of great new goodies to pre-order.

Until next Time

Waffleing Along, Singing A Song.....

HI!!!!
Lou here with you today to share some Waffle Flower Stamps cuteness with you.

I decided to make a bit of a scene (lol, get it) with Happy Day stamp set.
I have been eyeing up this set for ages and I was was so excited to get my hands on it for Christmas.

I started by sponging colour on my base card with coloured ink.

I then stamped the wagon and bear with memento Tuxedo black ink onto white spectrum noir cardstock which I fussy cut.

I coloured the images with prisma pencils (need practice)

I stuck the images down and stamped and coloured the butterfly and the bee.
the grass layer was cut using Lawn Fawn grass border die and the clouds are Impression obsessions clouds.
I then stuck down all my layers and there you have it,
me making a scene ;)

Hope my card inspires you to make a scene of your own

Lily of the Valley....

Hi.

Karen here, popping in  to share a little inspiration with you.

Today for my card I have used one of the Garden Girls from the Stampingbella release.

I have coloured her using Copic Markers. 

 The sentiment was cut four times and glued together to create dimension and the image was fussy cut and applied to my background with foam tape.

My background die is an old Memory Box one which I layered onto Blue Bazzill.

I have listed the supplies I used below.

supplies used:

Stampingbella Garden Girl - Lily of the Valley

Sue Wilson Die - Me to You

Memory Box Die - Bengal Background
