Simon Says: Anything Goes

For the challange Anything Goes on the 

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Blog

I made this birthday card.

For this card i used:

Floral Trims CMS461

Papillon CMS106

Bold Sayings CMS433

Distress oxide ink

Distress oxide spray Crackeling Campfire

I started stamping with versamark watermark

and gold embossingpowder.

Next I added some distress oxide inks on the glassplate

and by wiping the ink off the plate and on the card.

This is reapeated a few times until satisfied with the color.

When all was dry I added some Crackling Campfire splatters

on the card.

I used the sewing machine to make the border on the card.

Also some gold thread underneath the birthday sentiment.

The sentiment is also with gold embossing powder

and added the same colors as the background.

Matching envelop for sending out the card.

Thank you for looking and

have a caffinated creative weekend!

 

Back again!

 Hello my Crafty Friends,

You must have noticed I haven´t been blogging 

much these past few weeks.

Well, I had an operation and I am healing now, 

stamping was just to much.

Instead I have done some crochet 

and did some watercoloring.

I love my Funky Fossil Design stamps and

 one of the designers also gives

online classes: Ann Corbiere Scott. 

So by watching and playing along, I opened a new art journal and

this is my first page:

The background circles are painted with watercolor

and inspired by Wasilly Kandinsky.

The sentiment is printed with the computer,

but the brush and the paint tubes are clear stamps

designed by Ann Corbiere Scott: Artsy stamp set.

And here is a birthday card I did with 

a printable flower sheet by Ann.

It was supposed to be a tag, but I used

it for a 5 x 7 inch card.

Here the inside of the card with a

strip left over from the background paper 

of the front of the card.

Here a close up of the flowers and the sentiment.

All is colored with watercolor paint.

I will try blogging a little more,

but I am still recovering, so it won't be every day.

Thank you for looking today,

stay safe and keep crafting.

Guest Designer for Funky Fossil Designs

Hello my crafty friends!

This month I am a guest designer for

FUNKY FOSSIL DESIGNS.

At the end of this week there are 5 new 

stamp sets and trough the coming week

you will see what sets they are.

Today the first set is "Let's Party" designed by Donna Grey

for Funky Fossil Designs.

As this month is the celebration of 

2 years of Funky Fossil Designs, you will receive

the Happy Birthday stencil with every order you place.

I love to share with you how versetile this stencil is.

Here I used the stencil as a background and

a bunny from the soon to be released Let´s Party stampset

added on top with a piece of foam tape.

Here a variation with the happybirthday stencil ad background

iun various colors. For this card I used the cat from the set

and a paw embossing folder for the kraft colored strip.

There will also be a die added to all the items in the shop.

A metal Happy Birthday die with a tiny heart in the middle

of the sentiment. The number six I added (before I knew of

the 2nd year celebration) thinking of the 6th birthday of my

grandsons.

For the background of this card I used the  Musings

stampset. The numbers do not give a special birthday,

but you can highligt any number you want.

Here you see the wonderful Let's PArty stampset.

The images i colored with my zig markers.

The metal cutting die for the Happy Birthday sentiment.

I created a special envelop with this birthday card.

At the end of this week

other sets too) all sets are available to order

and you receive the wonderful birthday stencil free.

Thank you for looking and

see you again tomorrow
