Flowers and Pearls at Allsorts

 

This week the theme at Allsorts is Flowers and Pearls. I found this DP in my drawer and decided to use it. It is a digi download from Pink petticoat and I love it! I stamped the flowers (Kanban) in Memento Espresso truffle and coloured with coordinating promarkers, adding a tiny bit of sparkle here and there with a sakura gelly roll stardust pen. I also dusted around the die cut and the main card with Tea Dye distress ink. The sentiment is from Woodware and was stamped in versafine black.
After mounting the die cut with 3d glue onto the card front I added some pearls onto the panel.
Thanks for looking!

A quick mid week Birthday Card

You know when you are having one of those weeks where you think someone's birthday is next week and it is this week? Well, this card was a very quick solution!

I used a rather lovely Kanban stamp (So sorry to hear they are closing!) and five colours of memento ink - potter's clay, tangelo, cantaloupe, pear tart and bamboo leaves I ink dusted the background with squeezed lemonade, wild honey and tea dye Distress inks. I added the ribbon and sentiment, and a few blobs of glitter glue and gelly roll sparkly pens.
Thanks for looking!

Yet more Christmas cards

I've spent the last couple of days finishing off the Christmas cards. I'd done all those that needed posting and had a few to make that needed delivering by hand.

 by this point I had reached the very CAS stage and they were in envelopes before the ink was properly dry! This first one was just done with masking, ink dusters, adirondack inks in purple twilight and pool. I stamped the trees and sentiment (Inkylicious) with Stream Adirondack. The 3 stickers at the top have been in my stash for years and I haven't a clue where I got them. They were perfect for hiding a little tear where my low tack masking tape wasn't low tack enough!

 My second card used a penny black stamp coloured with promarkers and the backing paper is from an Artylicious cd. Again the sentiment is from Inkylicious.

My third card was a first inking of a Kanban stamp that I had forgotten I had bought! I ink dusted the background and then coloured the trees with grey promarkers - I think it is a bit too subtle though. I will go one shade darker next time. A bit of glitter glue and the same sentiment finished it off.
At this point I received a gorgeous card from Lisa, and that provided the inspiration for a few more. Thanks, Lisa!

 I used purple twilight and pool adirondack inks again for these, with the freebie from the front of craft stamper a couple of months ago.

Finally I used the Penny Black wreath of leaves, Visible Image Gaudette background, and Distress inks in Iced Spruce, Antique linen and festive berries, along with some flat backed pearls, iridescent gold glimmer mist and tulip paint. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
