I Miss Mew

 Good evening. I'm posting a card tonight which will be linked over at CAS Colours&Sketches blog. This week's challenge is a color challenge which sometimes stumps me, but I think I succeeded with little effort this week. I have just recently received a few new stamp sets and was wanting to give them a try. There seem to be so many wonderful examples using the SU Plentiful Plants Suite. I'm sure I will not be at a loss for design ideas. And how I love the MFT Mini Meows stamp set! I hope to incorporate it in some upcoming cards.

PRODUCTS:

SU Plentiful Plants w/matching dies

MFT Mini Meows stamp w/ Dies and sentiments

SU Brick Wall EF which I inked with SU Smokey Slate and cut with SU's Stitched Shapes

INKS: SU BumbleBee, Pear Pizzazz, Ranger Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, Versafine Black

Kitten colored with my Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Gamsol

MFT Cat & Plant Perches cut from black cardstock 

Background layer SU Dynamics 3D EF

That will be all for this evening. Have a blessed and wonderful Sunday.

Blessings, Bernadette

Best Wishes

 

Good Morning. I'm here this morning with a birthday card I created to share over at The Flower Challenge #58.  I tend to shy away from most flower cards or flower card challenges. I'm still working on my coloring and layering skills. I was fairly pleased with this image and hope I can keep building more confidence.

I chose the papers by SU DSP, Hand Penned, and their lovely stamp set, Hand-Penned Petals. I chose Pale Papaya for the second layer to add more color to the card. Pale Papaya, Mint Macaron, and Pool Party were used on the floral using the waterbrush technique. 

Products:

Sentiment from MFT Happy Hummingbirds

MFT Stitched Rec. STAX Set

MFT Stitched Sentiments Strips

SU Opal Rounds

That will be it for today. I'm off to go shopping with my daughter and grandsons and maybe some lunch. Have a great afternoon!

Blessings, Bernadette

Happy Birthday

 Hello, I'm here posting a card that I created today and will be posting over on Seize the Birthday with their challenge extra being FRAMED. I'm just getting in under the wire on this card. 

I colored the Fine Line Floral by MFT using my Prismacolor pencils, Jasmine, Yellow Ochre, and Grass Green. The black and white striped paper is from MFT. I stamped the birthday sentiment from the MFT Happy Hummingbirds stamp.

Other products used:

MFT Stitched Rec. Frames, Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strips, Black dots from SU', Neenah Solar White #110

That will be all for today. I hope you have a wonderful week and can stay CRAFTY!

Blessings, Bernadette

Color Me Happy

  Just a note, I was honoured to be chosen as one of the weekly winners over at CAS Colours & Sketches #427. Thank you Design Team for choosing my card!

Now on to what I created today for the new challenge of the week over at CAS Colours&Sketches#428. I recently received the Mini Delight Stamp and sentiments from Mini Paintbox by Altenew. I was thinking about colours and remembered I had this DSP by SU, Follow Your Art and it felt perfect for the stamp set. I incorporated the colours in the paper to colour the little paint pan spots and framed it with Night of Navy by SU. The base of the card is Coastal Cabana. I did add a layer of white card stock which was embossed with the new SU Textured Textile EF. This is becoming one of my favourites for clean, simple layering. SU Stitched Shapes were used for the focal point of the design.

I hope you get a chance to go over to CAS Colours and Sketches and see the great job the Design Team has done with this sketch. I'm off to go clean up and start on another card that will incorporate flowers. I struggle some with layering and hope to push myself a little more to become more relaxed and better at it. As they say, "At first you don't succeed try, try again"!

Blessings on your upcoming week.
