Butterfly Basics for Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

 

Happy-Inkin-Blog-Hop-Banner

 

 Welcome to the Hop!!!  I hope you had a wonderful Easter with family and friends and the weather was mild.

 

Today we have colours to play with and here they are.....

  

Apr 5
 

I pulled out a few stamp sets and decided to use the Butterfly Basics  it has a very has a very  pretty flower. I think forget-me-nots are this shade of blue so I coloured with my ink refills and the aqua painters.

On the  skinny stems I used the watercolour pencils to fill in.

 The card base is Old Olive, matted with Marina Mist. For the art piece I did use some watercolor paper, helps with the effect.

 

  

Apr5.2

 This sentiment is from Rose Garden, I layered it onto a Marina circle from the Stitched shapes thinlits.

 

Then I added a few pearls and went inside to finish up. I stamped the flower on the bottom right corner, leaving room for a personal note.  This I also watercoloured with my reinkers on the ink pad.

 Now off to the rest of the hop.... have fun.

Flowering Fields for Happy Stampers Blog Hop

Blog hop header new

 It's Thursday already!!!

My how this month is flying by. Busy times and that means that spring is getting even closer. I know ....slow down and count the snowflakes. 

Today I have a card that I made for a friend that recently lost her mother. These are always so hard to make but it sure makes us think of those we still have with us and that is a special thing. 

So here we are....simple but pretty and I hope it helps just a little.

 

  Sketch Jan 21 

Here we have the sketch for this week.

 

12278818_1305620516131187_8747520309334919805_n

 I stamped this beautiful greenery from the Flowering Fields stamp set, onto a Very Vanilla mat that I adhered to a piece of Old Olive.

Some of the plants were in Always Artichoke , some in Pear Pizzaza and then the Corn Flower I stamped with Night of Navy on top and Always Artichoke on the leaves. This is one of the beautiful sets that you can receive from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue when you purchase $60.00 of product. I love it....very stylish and versatile .

Then a pretty piece of the Sahara Sand Lace trim before adding the sentiment. I made the flowers from the Petal Punch and snuck in some scraps I found to layer on top. Then a beautiful  Blossom from the In Color Accents, a Candy Dot and the flowers were done.

 

The circle scallop is cut from the Circle Card Thinlits die and then the other circles are from the 1-3/8" and 1-1/4" punches. 

 

The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp set. One for the outside of the card and the other goes inside.......

 Here is a picture of inside with the other part of the sentiment.

Sympathy Card for Stamping and Blogging Sketch #103

 Hello my friends. I hope the week has treated you kind so far.

Today I have a card I made for a celebration of life. We all have those times when we need to say a few words to someone that has suffered a loss and I find the hostess set, Bloom with Hope has just the right sentiment. So don't forget that it will be retiring very soon .....

So here it is.....I really like these colours and after I made this card I took a peek around and I think I have put them together before....What do you think??? 

SB103

 Pretty simple design as we have a great sketch to work with. I didn't want to much on the card base itself so a couple of fern fronds added the right feel. Here is the inside and I left room for a personal note. 

Sb103.1

 

Now as the front of the card was heavy with all the layers I added some layering inside to balance it out a bit. And the fronds to bring it together.  Here is the sketch..... 

SB103 

And all the products I put to use. Click on them and it takes you directly to my online store.  

 

 

Now off you go to see what the rest of my talented design team members have created just for you....Have fun and thanks for visiting. Please let me know what you think.....and as always should you need a demonstrator I would love to be yours. Contact me and we can put something together before all the goodies you love disappear.

With Sympathy

Good morning to all.

I know we all have had times in our lives that require that special caring card for a dear friend or family member. This week a dear friend of mine lost her husband and I wanted to express my thoughts and the best way I can is by creating something for her. We sometimes get caught up in all the occasions and birthdays etc and it is very hard to make that one card. I hope this one helps a little.

Sympathy#1

The stamp set Petite Pairs was just perfect for this card, saying what sometimes is hard for all of us. Here's the inside for you to see.

Inside sympathy

I hope you all have a wonderful day and are able to spend some time with a special friend or a family member.

 Come back soon.

Shelagh in Shawnigan.
