Ferns for CPS 121

I've wanted to make a card for the latest CPS 121 sketch but it wasn't until today that I came up with something that I like enough to enter. So here we are with the latest challenge entry:

You might well congratulate me as I've managed to make yet another card that has no pink on it.

This card was made with:

The Fern Shilouette unmounted rubber stamp from Stampinback

Nature stamp

Brown 9mm saddle stitch ribbon.

Happy crafting.

Daring Cardmakers Missing You Challenge

I couldn't resist this challenge but I've decided to make it a simple one and this is the card that I've come up with:

The stamp is one of the ones that I used for the Ismaki challenge but I have used it quite simply here with a mst of silver and lilac card. It's from the Cartes Postal sheet of stamps.

The ribbon is 16mm lilac satin edged chiffon.

The stamp was inked up with the Zig kuretake pens.

Happy crafting

Layer it up with a mount of about 13.5cm x 13.5 cm
cut four squares that will end up slightly smaller than the mount square. Stick to the mount.
Colour the stamp with the selection of colours given above. You can use my example of do anything thta you want yourself. Stamp an oval shape that you've cut out. You can use a square one if you don't have an oval one.

The stamp is from I Brake for Stamps and the bits of ribbon are from my personal stash.

Stampin Chic

When the ladies on Stampin Chic set out the challenge for a creation that contained 'NO WHITE' they must have had me in mind as many of my cards always contain white. This, then, really is a challege for me so this is what I've come up with:

Black, White and one other colour

I've just seen the challenge on Stamp Something for black, white and one other colour and the pink and black challenge on Ooh-la-la Creations so...

I used my fabulous stamp from the Glamour Girls sheet from Time to Stamp and paired it with the flowers that have just arrived on my doorstep throw in a bit of pink spotty ribbon and a button and here's my card. The paper is from Doodlebug Design.

Happy crafting.

New Stamps from Stampinback

We've just had some new stamps from Stampinback and I had to use them as I think that they are really lovely and the designs are right up to the minute.

I didn't just want to have them as a black silhouettes though and I went for fawn and greens.

The images are 'Fennel Silhouette' from Stampinback.

Tall Flower, silhouette also from Stampinback.

The pens that I used to colour the images are Zig Art and Graphic pens 49, 56, 57.

The ribbon is willow green chiffon in 16mm width.

The sentiment is 'approach dreams'

The flowers are from the romance selection of Eco friendly flowers.

The paper I had in my stash but any soft green should do.

To Make this card:

All you need to do is ink up the stamps with your chosen colours and stamp up the images.

Cover the bottom of the card with some green paper and cover the join with sheer green ribbon.

Ink up the sentiment and stamp out. Mount onto another piece of green paper and stick to the card.

Add a couple of smallish flowers from the pack and you have a card.

Happy crafting.
