Janine here!

Well it's my turn to share a Design Team Inspirational card with you using one of the many fabulous products in the Handmade Bliss store. 

 

For my card this week I used another wonderful stamp from Stamping Bella - this cutie is called 'Smarty Cat'.  I actually made this card for my daughter as she lives away from home and I miss her a lot. She loves cats, and I thought that this was such a cutie patootie that I couldn't resist using it. I used Copic pens to colour and some glossy accents on her glasses.

Painted Poppies

Howdy folks, it's me, Fi with my card today!

I couldn't wait to get started using these fabby stamps from Altenew, they are just beautiful...I am still practising but I really do like them and you don't have to be precise with your colouring...you can give it the arty look!

The stamp is from Altenew called Painted Poppies and is available from the Handmade Bliss store here.

I stamped the image onto watercolour card using Distress Inks, I also added some water to a brush to move the ink around a bit.  I dried it off using a heat gun and then I stamped and embossed the poppy outline with gold.

You can check out my blog for more details on how I made my card.

Remember our challenge, you gotta be in it to win it.

Up.... Up.... and AWAY!!

Hi Peeps.....

Christine here today...  to share a card using one of the fabulous new Stamping Bella Tiny Townies available in the store now.  This whole release of rubber stamps is just soooooooo gorgeous, it's sure to go quick!

This is Blossom - and she's clinging onto her balloons and going for a ride in the sky to wish someone a happy birthday..

I've given her lots of glitter on her balloons...  and also a bit on her dress as, well, a girl can never have too much sparkle can she?  

If you want to check out the colours I've used and other details,  you can find more details on my blog HERE.  I'd love you to pop by and say hello...

Big hugs and Happy Crafting..

Something different...

Howdy folks, it's me, Fi with my card today!

Now when Joanne sent me this little stamp set to use I have to say I was a bit scared as it was completely out of my comfort zone however I have been around with it and actually it is a beautiful set.

The stamp is from Mama Elephant called Filigree and she is available from the Handmade Bliss store along with other great Mama Elephant sets.

I stamped the image onto watercolour card with archival ink and then built up each of the scalloped rows.  I then used different colours of watercolours and blended them together.  I added a white a gel pen...not sure about that part!

You can check out my blog for more details on how I made my card.

Remember our challenge, there's still one day left to enter.  Our new challenge will be posted on 1st July and we would love you all to take part.
