Sweet Stamps Tuesday...Anything Goes!

What a fun challenge we have for you this week - use your artistic freedom anyway you would like, for the Sweet Stamps Tuesday challenge!

Since I have been out in my garden this week, I decided to use a flower stamp - and do I ever LOVE this stamp called Watercan Florals!

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured it with my copic markers - did you know that Sweet Stamps sells Copic Markers??!!  I  wish my budget wasn't so tight, I would sure scoop up some of those sweeties!

 I coloured some grass surrounding the can too....the paper is from Doodlebug Take Note 6 x 6 Paper Pack  I see that we are sold out of this particular paper right now but there are lots of 6 x 6 paper packs to choose from at the store!!

The inside of the card was stamped with the sentiment "A Bouquet of Good Wishes" - I love it!

Try your hand at this challenge won't you?

Sweet Stamps Tuesday!

Good day and what  a difference a week makes - it is so cold here - but in comparison to winter - not so bad - just having a cooler spring I guess - much better for the flowers.....

I am watching the Toronto Maple leafs and Boston Bruins Game 7 and am having anxiety attacks Lol!   

Anyway on to our weekly challeng! 

This week is all about Spring! I have chosen to use the Bee Happy Duo for our challenge!

I coloured up the happy little guy with my copics markers and can you see the glitter on the wings??! So pretty - You can find it in the store - it is the Sparkly Sweet Ultrafine Transparent Glitter

The Spotty Dot border was used along the top of my card - so cute! I cut out and popped up the sweet little Bee to add dimension! 

The delicate Die Cut leaves were cut using my Vagabond - my most forever lovey dovey machine to date!!

Did you know that Sweet Stamps carry their own line of Dies now??!! Wahoo!! They are called SweetCuts - and too sweet!  

We are going to have a special blogpost just for the dies shortly - but in the meantime make sure you get around to all of the Sweeties blogs to see their take on SPRING!!

Sweet Stamps Tuesday!

Good Morning and what a day we have today in Southern Ontario- Sunny - Warm - Gorgeous!

I am excited to announce that I am now a part of the Sweet Stamps Design Team and today, Tuesday, is our weekly challenge!

This week it is all about Mom - being as Mother's Day is next Sunday - are you ready?

I used the beautiful silhouette stamp called "In Her Easter Bonnet"  and stamped her in our Dye Ink Shades Ink Spots - In The Pink - beautiful coverage! onto white cardstock.

I added a few gems to the back of her bow - basically because I love bling! and it looks rather nice too!

The background paper is from the beautiful 6 x 6 pad that we carry in our store called Vintage Notes from Papermania. It has a gorgeous linen feel.....yummy!

The Thickers are actually white sparkly letters....but for some reason the colour is coming out rather bleh.....

Thanks for coming around and be sure to enter our challenge this week - it's all about mom!

You Warm My Heart

It's a good day for another My Favorite Things creation - don't you think?

I am definitely stuck on these cuties and today I have inked up one of the new Doodle Garden MFT Stamps called I'm Raptor Round Your Finger.

I used this weeks MFT sketch and followed along pretty well.   

The little "Raptor" was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with my copics, following along with Michele Boyer's tutorial in the MFT Academy regarding texture using pointillism with Copic markers. I knew this was a technique but I had never heard of the proper name.

The Die-namics Layered Heart border was the perfect border to use and I added a white "shadow" heart border too!

Thanks for visiting today!

Whoo Loves You?

I do!!....

This MFT Pure Innocence Owl Costume is not just for Hallowe'en of course.....I have made it into a lovey card today....

Following the latest MFT sketch - MFTWSC120 (My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Club 120 in case you didn't know....) I created a sweet card for today!

 

Are you sick of the Crate Paper Fourteen papers yet? Lol! I am using them so much lately and I think they are gorgeous!

I stamped and coloured my  little Pure Innocence Owl girlie, using the MFT Academy tutorial for colouring hair - I don't think it is dark enough though....next time.....

The Sheltering Tree Die-namics worked perfectly with my image and it makes a great "offset" to the Die-namics Button Border.   I threaded some black and brown twine through the Button Border and tied the double bow at the top.

The banner flags are from the Die-namics Mix and Match Banners!!  A little sewing and popping up things here and there - and onto the inside!

Thank for coming and visiting today!!
