Zooming Along with Die cut Stamping

Hi Everyone, I had another zoom crafting session with some friends (Bonnie, Brenda, Darnell, Loll and Susan)

We did some Print Making with die cuts as described by Kathy from The Daily Marker and The 30 day Colour Challenge

The die cuts were water coloured and the colour transferred to the watercolour paper. 

You can also add more colour to the die cut before sticking it to the paper.

 

We have a little blog hop for you to drop in and see what everyone did.

I was much happier with the colour and layout on my first card. I think my second needs just the right sentiment to balance the images.

Magenta Card Swap

Hi Everyone, recently MarietteVan Leeuwen organized a card swap through Facebook, we all know how much we love to send and receive cards😉. The cards were all made with Magenta stamps and stencils and  I was sending mine to Mariette and Dianne Johnson. To my surprise they arrived in the Netherlands and US from Canada in less than 2 weeks.

Here's the one I made for Mariette, it's a mixed media card with lots of texture.

Mariette makes wonderful mixed media cards and provides so much inspiration I wanted to show her how much I take away from her cards.

Dianne often has a more CAS approach to her cards which I love to see so I made a little book style card to send to her. 

I have some extra large sheets of card stock which I cut at 5 1/2"  tall, 17" long and scored every 4 1/4". I made it in an accordion style sticking the centre fold together, it made for a pretty book card. I had a lot of fun with this layout and will be making a few more in the future.

I hope you head over and check out both Mariette and Dianne's blog and take a few minutes to admire their work.

Treats on Tuesday at Magenta

Hi Everyone, I'm over at Magenta, it's now published come on over and check out how I made this card.

I had a few glitches this week one was a blogger issue. I learned the hard way that at the moment once your post is published on the new version of Blogger it won't let you change the date to a future time and day. We've all hit publish when we meant to save 😏

Apologies everyone I got my post time and date mixed up and new blogger won't let me change it, the should have gone live tonight. The Magenta post will go up at midnight, I hope you drop by.

Another Salt Background

I have another Salt background to show you this time with an ocean theme.

Wet on wet watercolour, sprinkle course grain salt over it and wait for it to dry. Once dry brush off the salt and stamp. I used Versafine Clair and clear embossing powder to stamp the images.

I'm entering the following Challenges.

I hope it's CAS enough for the two CAS Challenges.
