Ha, I finally tried the distressing technique, got very inky but had lots of fun with it. Here is the result. It turns out that you don’t need to have anything special, just Stampin’ Up! inks, a window sheet and a spritzer. I swiped the different coloured inks across the window sheet, spritzed it and […]

A BEAUTIFUL NEW STAMP SET IS COMING YOUR WAY
Welcome and I’m happy to tell you that there’s a beautiful new stamp set coming your way in August! It’s called Thoughtful Branches and comes as a bundle with matching Framelits. I’ve been playing already and created this card. I’ve been seeing cards using the Emboss-resist technique lately so decided to start with that technique […]
TRYING A NEW TECHNIQUE
I’m trying this new technique(to me) that I found on Pinterest. It’s called the “drapery fold” and adds that special something to your card. I also used two designs from the beautiful Blooms and Bliss designer series paper. Love it! Of course, those tiny flowers from the Best Birds stamp set (141525)and the perfect greeting […]
MORE BOKEH FOR YOU
I didn’t stop playing with the Bokeh technique. Just had to make this card and this time I used 3 different colours to get this cool background. The focus is the technique so just a little stamping on the face and then I added those blooms with the matching Rose Garden Thinlits. CYNTHIA’S TIP: […]

I choose to play along with the Color Challenge from Create with Connie and Mary(Cucumber Crush-leaves, Pacific Point-flowers, and Tangerine Tango-flowers). So I […]
TEASER – REVEALED!
Remember this? Well, I finished it! You’ll notice that I added a couple more blooms – just to fill up the white space left after cutting it out. The stamens needed to be hightlighted so I added some colour with the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities assortment – I’m liking the colour palette – what do you […]
HOW ABOUT A TEASER?
I’m going to tease you a little – I’ve started an image and haven’t yet decided if it’s going on a card or something else. One can’t forget about the beautiful flower images in the Everything Eleanor stamp set – it’s an “oldie” but a goodie! I used the masking technique(see this post for a […]
