A little bird told me.....

Good morning folks, I hope you are all well and have had a nice weekend. We had one of my granddaughters to stay over on Saturday night, which was lovely. She also came out walking in the woods with us yesterday morning with the dogs, and spent more time in the stream than she did on the paths lol. But she thoroughly enjoyed it, and so did we. 

Anyway today's card is made using the February My Monthly Hero kit from Hero Arts. I stamped the bird and branch using Distress Oxide inks and then cut them out with their coordinating dies.

For the background I used a cloud stencil by MFT. I inked through the stencil with Versamark ink and then used Simon Says Stamp Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and heat set it.

Then I used Broken China, Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide inks blended over the top of the clouds. I used a dry cloth just to take any excess off of the heat embossed areas.

I found a little sentiment from a magazine freebie set, that says "A little bird told me...." and teamed it with another stamp from the set to finish the sentiment.

I cut the whole panel out with an MFT Blueprints Stitched Rectangle die, and then I added a few Nuvo Jewel drops in Sea Breeze and Strawberry Coulis to finish it off.

I hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Sweet Treats

Happy Friday!!  

I've got the last of the SSS February card kit makes to share with you today.

This was the simplest card of all to make.  It is literally one sheet from the paper pack, cut to size and added to a kraft card blank!

As the card was so easy I decided to add some shimmer pen to all the little cakes and drinks.

I also added glossy accents to the glass domes and milk bottle.

I thought this made it a little more interesting.  What do you think?

I'm hoping to get some crafting time this weekend, but with two Mother's Day celebrations and losing an hour with the clock change, I'm not sure it will happen!

Fingers crossed I'll be back next week with something nice to share with you.  

Until then, TTFN Jude xx

Hello again.

I'm back with another simple card made with February's SSS card kit.

One of the good things about these kits is that the papers can do a lot of the work for you.

In this instance  I used a background paper, a strip from a sheet containing lots of sentiments and just one stamped image.

I coloured the image with Copic markers in colours to match the papers.

I then added some shimmer pen to the coffee cup and popped it up on foam squares.

I cut a fish tail in the end of the sentiment strip and added that with foam squares also.

Hope you like it.  TTFN Jude xx
