Throwing Down Some Colour.

By
Hello folks - hope everyone is O.K today and enjoying the gorgeous sunshine. I am. I even did some more gardening - that is twice now this year. I think I must be coming down with something, this is most unlike me! I am even typing this post with stung and bitten fingers ( I found a massive ants nest!).
This card is going to be entered into two challenges today the first is Color Throwdown and the challenge was to use these three colours:

This is my card:

All the materials are Stampin' Up: (except the sentiment, scallop punch + sentiment ink)
Card stock - Very Vanilla + Bordering Blue
Stamp sets - Flight of the Butterfly + Pocket Silhouettes
Inks - Almost Amethyst, Sage Shadow + Bordering Blue
Punches - Butterfly + Scallop Edge

I would also like to enter this card into the Paper Play Challenges which this week asks for cards without patterned paper.
Am going to rest my poor bitten fingers now and try to deaden the pain with a glass of red wine or two!!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    Oh my, I think you SHOULD rest your fingers and stay out of the garden for a while....stamping is good to do while you recuperate! I think this is a lovely example of an easel card---and I think this SU stamp set is one of my favs!

    Very very pretty card, Jacqueline - the colours are gorgeous, and the pattern you've made with the stamps against the white is so lovely.

    Thanks for joining us on PaperPlay this week.

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
