PanPastels and Indigoblu Stamps

I so enjoyed making this pretty little card which can be set on one side and used for many different occasions,

Firstly I blended my colours onto white linen effect card and then did the stamping.  The paler flower on the right hand side was stamped with Versamark which I then dabbed with Panpastel - this is one of my favourite effects.  Matted and layered into matching card and jobs a good un!!!!

Hope you make good use of your extra hour today - makes it feel more like winter though when it goes dark so early.

Sheena Douglas Stamps and Stencils

Well what a great couple of days with Sheena on Create and Craft launching her new stamps and stencils.

These are the samples I made for the show, hope you enjoyed them.

Sheena Douglass stamps

Hi there

Just wanted to add the samples I made for Sheena's last show.  Fantastic wall and log background stamps which are incredibly useful.

PanPastels and Designs by Ryn stamps

Thanks so much for popping in today.  I have my inspiration for the http://welove2create.blogspot.co.uk/ Challenge.  My team mates are very talented and always produce fantastic inspiration.

 Today I've made a colourful background using PanPastels.  I started with a longer piece of card which I coloured the background and used the piece I cut off to stamp and cut out the moths.  I stamped moths onto the background so that I didn't have to cut out the finer details.  I then placed the moths so that contrasting colours showed against the background.

I have a massive soft spot for Ryn and her stamps, she's one very talented lady and produces really unusual designs.

PanPastel Tag

Hi there, hope you're having a good weekend, the sun was shining yesterday which was a great bonus.

Today, for the Love2Create Challenge blog I've made a pastel tag using Pans blended for the background together with the Wildflower Stencil from Sheena Douglass.  I also added the square pattern using a background stamp and a Brilliance ink pad.

i then put texture paste through the stencil and once this was dry I coloured it using the PanPastels, I also added pattern directly to the tag using the same stencil.  I hilighted the textured flowers with a few white dots using my white pen.

A bee, a butterfly and a few words completed the tag (as well as a Perfect Pearl butterfly trail) xxxx

Sheena Douglass Paint Fusion

Morning, the sun's shining which always makes me happy!

Sheena was on our tv screens yesterday and she'll be there again today with her fabulous Paint Fusion shows.  The Design Team have provided some amazing samples for the shows.

Here's the samples I made.

Sweet Lilac Flowers

There's a new Challenge starting today over on the Sweet Lilac Flowers Challenge Blog where you have the opportunity to win a fabulous array of flowers.  Why not pop over to have a look at the inspiration on offer.  Congratulations to last months winner.

The theme is "Say it with Flowers" and if you'd like to enter click HERE.

My piece of inspiration is a card I made using the lovely flowers to which I added lots of sparkly gems to the centres.  For the base of the card I splattered paints on to it before edging with Mustard Seed Distress Ink.  I then took a Fune Liner pen to draw in some funky stems!  A bow and a sentiment finished it all off.

Thanks for popping in xxxx
