Feather Weather

When I saw this week's Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger, I knew what papers I wanted to use. I recently got the Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose collection and this is just perfect for this week's TT! I based my card on the Cardabilities Sketch #75. I didn't want to spoil the design of the card with a sentiment, so I decided not to add one. I was lucky to find a feather to add to the card - this is left over from a fascinator I made many moons ago! Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients:
Cardstock - Neenah Desert Storm
Paper - Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose 6x6
Stamp - Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose Stamp Set
Ink - Hero Arts Soft Granite
Others - Kaisercraft Collectables (Porcelain Rose), My Minds Eyes Enamel Dots, Feather from my stash, Molotow paint pen

90 minute Scramble

This is another 90 minute Scramble card from the Hero Arts Flickr group this morning. Twice a month, members of the HA Flickr group host a challenge set at a particular time. The challenge is posted at the start of the scramble and you have 90 minutes to upload the card to the group. I've participated in quite a few of these challenges and they are fun and sometimes challenging. As most of the members are from the US, the times are sometimes not suitable. The one this morning was at 6am Aussie time, so it suited me. The challenge today was to make a card with music/stars/moon/no green/no black or brown. This theme had me stumped as I had no HA music or star stamps. I decided to use a music patterned paper as the background and overstamp with the HA Leafy Vines stamp (one of my favourites). After inking with distress inks, I die cut the moon out and mounted on white card stock. Here is my card and thank you for dropping by!

Ingredients:

Cardstock - Neenah Solar White

Paper - Kaisercraft Black and White Timeless

Stamps - Hero Arts CL497 CG509

Inks - Tim Holtz Distress Inks Broken China, Stormy Sky, Chipped Sapphire

Dies - Spellbinders Standard Circles

Others - Clear embossing powder, Kaisercraft rhinestones

PTI Folk Art card

Back with a quick card I made for my 13 year old niece's birthday. I started off wanting to do a card based on the current MFW Tuesday Trigger and ended up with a completely different card. The only element that I kept was the the colour pink! Anyway here is my card with some colouring using distress markers. I've decided to enter this card to CASology:Week44-Bloom and Simon Says Stamp Flower Power challenges. Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients:

Cardstock - Neenah Solar White

Paper - Basic Grey True Love

Stamps - Papertrey Ink Folk Art

Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, Distress Markers (Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender, Broken China, Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters and Worn Lipstick)

Others - Kaisercraft pearls

Wedding Rose

When I saw this rose stamp on the Pattern Play online class, I wanted it straight away. I received it last week and couldn't wait to ink it up. Sorry to bore all my followers, but I just love the Case Study card so much that I just had to case it .... again! I coloured the rose by masking and sponging with distress inks. Afterwards I smeared stickles over it. I love the effect! Thanks for dropping by, I promise that this will be the last card I make with this design. Did I mention I love it? Thanks for dropping by!

Stamps - PTI Year of the Flowers: Roses Stamp Set, Impression Obsession Gradation

Mother's Day Cards

I've got more good news to share! I applied for the 2013 DT for Kaisercraft a few weeks ago and was not expecting to hear from them. Lo and behold, an email was received last week informing me that I have been selected for the next round! Yikes! I will be sent 2 new collections and I have to make 2 cards, 2 layouts and one OTP project. Layouts are not my forte.... but I'll give it a go! I cannot blog these projects until the collections are released - they are both gorgeous and I'm going to have fun with them!

I've been so busy that  I almost forgot that I have two more Mother's Day cards to make. Yes, I make cards for 3 Mums, my own, my partner's and my ex's. This one I made a few weeks ago. I loved the Case Study this week so much that I made more cards based on Maile Belles' card. I've ordered another Happy Mothers Day stamp, but it has not arrived yet. So I'm going with the only stamp I have, which happens to be a Kaisercraft stamp! I'm also submitting these cards to A Blog Named Hero's All That Glitters challenge. For all the Mums out there, have a great weekend!
