It’s feeling very Summery in my neck of the woods at the moment so today’s card seems quite fitting in all it’s bright and shiny colourful glory!  I’m loving the Summer Flowers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and the rainbow of colours in this Lawn fawn paper pad was all the inspiration I needed!!  I covered the card front with the paper and then stamped the sunflower onto Bristol cardstock.  I used Zig Clean Colour markers which blend amazingly well on this card!  The sentiment and heart motif in the centre are from the Circle Sayings stamp set from SSS.

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

This week’s challenge is a fun one – with so many gorgeous patterned paper pads available from Doodlebug it was difficult to know which to pick.  I loved the Cream and Sugar collection when I first saw it so that was really my obvious choice.  I picked up the packet of “Odds and Ends” die cuts too so this card really cam together in no time!  All I did was die cut a frame from the donut design paper to make a frame using the stitched rectangle die from Simon Says Stamp and added a bit of shimmer with a Spectrum Noir sparkle pen.  Cute or what?!

For my card today I used the gorgeous Hero Arts Glorious Petal stencil and combined it with Distress Oxide Inks and clear embossing over the top.  I started by brushing Cracked Pistachio over the centre area and brought in some Worn Lipstick just around the outside edge.  With the stencil still in place I pressed some Versamark ink over the top.  I removed the stencil and sprinkled the card with Wow Clear Gloss embossing powder and heated it.  For the panel across the top I die cut a strip of white card with the largest of the scallop edge dies from Simon Says Stamp.  I then used Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink again  to stamp the Happy and Everything from Sentimental Too from Avery Elle.  To finish I added a few drops of Nuvo Jewel Drops.
