Colour Creations - Sahara Sand

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I didn't hop by last week so busy I just didn't get time but never mind I am back again this week. This weeks colour is called "Sahara Sand" it's sort of a sandy gray colour but I like it. I have used a stamp set from the Occasion catalogue along with 2 stamps from the Annual Catalogue. They are "Let it Ride" "Pop of Petals" and "Hardwood" and I love the way my card turned out.

I started with a Very Vanilla card base and add the Sahara sand as my frame I stamped the Hardwood onto the frame in Early Espresso I drew in the corners of my frame using a marker pen, then pop it up on diementionals. I then stamped my horses from the Let it Ride set and masked them off and stamped the trees so they looked as though they were behind them. I then stamped the Pop of Petals onto some Very Vanilla card with Sahara Sand ink and then coloured them in using the markers.

For the inside of the card I kept it simple by just stamping the trees on one side and the horses on the other. I love this set I really hope this is not one that is retiring. But if it is I know I wont be parting with it and I will be using it for some time to come.
If you would like to purchase any of the items used in this project please give me a call, email or PM as I would like to help you. Please note that from the 3rd June 2019 the Occasion catalogue and the Annual Catalogue end and the new Annual Catalogue takes over so please be quick if in case these items retire on that date.

Colour Creations - Mint Macaron

Hi Everyone, Here we are back with the New Year............So Happy New Year to each and everyone of you.
This year we kick off with a lovely colour one of my favourites as I'm a green person this colour really appeals to me. I saw a Youtube video of a card very much like this but not the same so I went about changing it to fit on a regular card.

I call it the fan card for obvious reasons. I started out with a lovely Mint Macaron card base and then add the first layer using Tranquil Tide. I added another layer at the bottom of the card that I stamped using Mint Macaron Ink on Whisper White card. The stamp set I used was Pop of Petals . I stamped 2 flower from the set and coloured in and punched them out before gluing the 2 together.

I love the way this card came together and it was very easy to do. I think this will make a lovely card for the 1st birthday of the year. I used the tranquil tide ribbon for my bow (retired) .

I have kept the insert very simple as I didn't think much else was needed. All the items except the ribbon can be found in the current 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of the items used in the project please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.
I will be added a tutorial for this card on my Facebook page in February 2019 as I already have my January tutorials scheduled.
