Silhouette floral

 

Hi everyone, I finally succumbed to buying this floral silhouette die.
 I've admired it from afar for so long lol!

I had a smooshed oxide ink background in my stash to experiment with and was happy with how it looked.

I'm linking up at the last minute to the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday,

something beginning with S. I chose silhouette.

Summer road trip for Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Barbara has chosen Summer activities as the theme this time around.

Of course, you can always play along with our anything goes birthday option too.

My team mates and our party guest Lorraine have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope to see you in the gallery.

We get a lot of bike riders visiting our area in Summer as they seem to love our winding roads!

I bought this bike stamp ages ago as I loved the sentiment!

This is it's first inking. I've used versafine clair inks and blended on some distress inks for colour.

I paired it with an older MFT cloud die and some scraps of shimmer paper.

Favourite Technique for Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Ashwini wants us to use a favourite technique for our birthday cards this time around.

You can always play along with our anything goes birthday theme too.

Our party guest Lorraine and my team mates have some wonderful inspiration for you over at the blog, so I hope you can play along.

One of my favourite techniques is die cutting. (If that is a technique!)

If it's not then there is stencilling and wet embossing, which I've also used on this card.

I must thank Chrissie from Simply One of a Kind for enabling me to buy this horse die, she finds the best dies!! As well as making fabulous cards with them.

Supplies:

Dies: Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle; Charlie & Paulchen horse dies; Stampin Up winter woods die;

Other: Tim Holtz star stencil; gold ink; Happy Little Stampers doodled flowers sentiment.
