I had fun creating a background using Distress Oxide inks this week.  I love the way they just melt into each other – and these three colours just go so well together.  I kept the rest of the card clean and simple to create a card perfect for a Dad’s birthday or even Father’s Day!!  By the way, our sister Challenge (the Monday Team) have a masculine themed challenge this week so make sure you link up your creation to both challenges for two chances to win!!

Hey – it’s Wednesday and time for a brand new challenge.  I chose to work with a gorgeous, summery hibiscus stamp design from Technique Tuesday for my card this week.  I love the size of the flower in this set, and the font is gorgeous.  I stamped the flower in black and then coloured it with Copics.  The base of the card has been stencilled using the Tiny Dots stencil from Simon Says Stamp – my favourite stencil of ALL TIME!!  I added a touch of gold with some Washi tape, fine gold thread and finished with some little dots of Nuvo drops in Orange Marmalade.

50dollar_voucher_600pxYay – a bit of sparkle – a challenge made for me if ever there was one!  I’ve been dying to play with this gorgeous Emma stamp for ages – it was out of stock when I originally tried to get it so when it came back I grabbed it pronto!  I thought it would pair nicely with some gold embossing and was going to add some water colour but then remembered something super fun I saw being demonstrated at a local craft fair last weekend by the amazing Keren Baker!  This effect was made using Infusions powders from PaperArtsy.  They come in amazing colours (this is my favourite called A Bit Jaded) and you literally just sprinkle a tiny bit on your paper and spritz with water – and then the magic happens!!!!  I HIGHLY recommend trying them out – I can’t wait to have a go with some of the other colours too!
