Stampin Stresss Away with Carole'Anne

Faith in nature with a Stampaholics colour challenge

yhippy it's Friday and it's a Stampaholics challenge with colours!

the best part of doing challenges is that you get to play with colours you usually don't

well this is true for me that is for sure

okay so here's what I started with

 
great colours uh?

 
I used the very vanilla as my base colour then I stamped the flower from

Faith in nature stamp set

in black staz on

 
I pulled out my chalks and coloured the flowers

 
then I cut down the greeting

and as you see from the time I redid this twice ghurh

 
made a bow

real fast with Miss Lee's bow maker

But then I did not like just the Baja Breeze seam binding bow

 
so took a piece of very vanilla seam binding sponged a little perfect plum

and voila

I am going to combine both ribbons into one bow he he

 
4 min to assemble this card

oh yes I can do it hehe

It's Friday I can do anything on Friday it's almost the weekend

 

voila my card with the colour challenge

now you all know to do right ??

I had barely enough time to stick the little pearls in

I did wish you all a super wonderful Friday

I am looking forward to the weekend did I mention that he he

it's been a really busy week with lot's of changes and disruptions

so we are all trying to adjust and keep on going he he

I will try to post tomorrow

if I can pull it off and don't end up at work too long I will

try the split negative technique again

wish me luck

Faith in Nature card

 
good day my friends

It's Thursday I am finally sort of getting to play in my craft room a little this morning

yhahoooooooooo I have missed my craft card time

so I decided to play with one of the new hostess sets

that we will have in the NEW Idea Book

For Stampin Up!

it's called  FAITH IN NATURE

So I first tried to stamp the image on white shimmery card stock

and well let me just show you what went down

 
image stamped

my first attempt was with early espresso

and well that was not such a good idea

 
it smudge alot so

took out the faithful watercolour cardstock instead

 
then I coloured the pear with my pencils

 
I used my aqua painter to blend all my colouring

and I am much happier with the effects

 you can see the other two aboe that were rejected he he

 
looking good then I made my card base

I tried black at first and yha well that was a no

so went with very vanilla

 
now for some deep thought

I am taking out the new colour called

lucky limeade

love it

 
then I made this beautiful border with yet again a

NEW punch

from YES the new Idea book from Stampin Up

can't you just wait till you get your new catalogue

you will receive one FREE from me when you sign up for our new groups starting in July

Fun Stuff I tell YOU

 
now I am ready to mount this card

I did cut my little strips down and I layers lots

can you tell I love layers lol

when I layer I always use dimentionals

they are awesome to give it that thick layered look

 
okay now for some pearls and this card is almost done

so let me tell you that I took inspiration

from the idea book

and put a Carole'Anne spin on it he he

 
here is my card

 
 

the pear up close lets you see the colouring

and a side view to see the layers

well that is it for me for This Thursday

I do hope that you have a terrifik Thursday

see you tomorrow for the

Stampaholics challenge
