Wind on My Face



Hello Friends 

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend! 
I had a wee crafty play around on my desk yesterday just for fun and made this card!
I have a ton of stamps that I have not used yet and this is one of them. 
If you know me you know how much I LOVE Phyllis Harris Stamps. 
This is one of them it is called Life's an Adventure. How lovely is she?? 

I used my Derwent Inktense Watercolour Pencils to colour her.
I pulled some of the colours from the Unity photo inspiration challenge on facebook.
I wanted the swing as the focal point.
 So I actually  fussy cut her out and replaced the stamp swing rope with real twine. 
I did a very light watercolour wash as a background. 
The sentiment I used is from another Phyllis Stamp set my favorite called Your Wings Exist. 

I love the way it turned out :) 
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

    This is totally awesome! I love the light inking and the coloring of this sweet image, the jute and sentiment blends perfectly with the message it conveys. So glad you joined last week's Challenge and would like to invite you to link with us again in our brand new Challenge starting today at 613 Avenue Create. Have a blessed week!

Friends with Flair @ Unity

Here is my Unity Friends with Flair entry.  I used my Feel the Joy stamp and used the generation stamping technique with memento ink. I then sponged the background in purple and deep pink pigment ink.  I mounted it on to white card and added the Happy Birthday sentiment at the bottom. It looked too plain so I added teeny weeny little butterflies from the butterfly punch from Martha Stewart.  P.S I ran out of daubers and all I could find was a magic eraser it did the trick as a makeshift sponge :)                                        If you want to take part hop along to Unity and enter  here I just had to make another card I just love this stamp I wish I had gotten it sooner it is so versatile. I think it may be my new favourite Unity Stamp :)                                                                           Thanks for visiting :)

Love You - Hot Pink

Happy Friday Friends :) I hope you all had a good week. Here is the card I made for this weeks friends with flair today.  I used two stamps on this card. The hearts are from the  You are my Main Squeeze stamp set. The sentiment is from the Strength & Dignity KOM 11/13 .  The vibrant pink colour is Picked Raspberry distress ink that I sponged all over the card. I embossed the hearts with white embossing powder. I really like he effect it created it looks almost like chalk.  Have a great weekend :)

Craft Stamper May Challenge

Hello Friends! I hope everyone is doing ok during this crazy time.  I just wanted to remind you that we are still running the Craft Stamper Challenges.  The May challenge is well underway but you still have time to come and join in.  Here is my card I made for this month's project.  I made this clean and simple floral card with Unity stamps.  I used two different kits to create this card. The jar with the flowers is from the  Strength & Wisdom  stamp set and the sentiment is from the kit called  His Words .  I kept my card really clean and just used my watercolors to colour the flowers and jar then tied a little twine around it to finish it off. If you have the time come and play along with us this month.  You can use any stamps you wish on your project.  Here is the prize we have on offer this month this fab Eileen Hull die.  All of the details of the challenge can be found on the  Craft Stamper Blog . Hope to see your project
