Gone Fishing

Hiya!

 

I am back today to share a card I created for DARKROOM DOOR using the brand new Fishing Net Background Stamp.

 

Check it out...

 

And here is what I created...

 

 

I used the crayon resist technique on the net and applied Distress Inks in various shades of blue over the top before splashing with water to create a water stained effect.

 

 

You can find a step by step tutorial and full list of materials on the Darkroom Door blog over HERE.

 

Thanks for checking out my card today.

 

Cheers

Tree Bark

Hi!

 

Today I have two cards to share that I created for DARKROOM DOOR featuring the BRAND NEW Tree Bark Background Stamp.

I just love this new background stamp. It is so perfect for adding instant texture to any project.

 

Here's what I created with it.

 

 

I wanted to create a focal point on the background by just inking in the area where I knew my Wilderness Filmstrip image would be and then add some drips of mist for where my tumbling leaves would be. I cut up the sentiment to add to the tumbling leaf effect.

 

Here's another example of how I used the background stamp in a similar way.

 

 

 

Anyone that loved Seinfeld as I did will 'get' the sentiment I created on this one. :-)

 

Make sure you head over to the Darkroom Door blog over HERE to check out the step by step tutorial on how I created these cards.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Cards with Character

Happy Monday crafters!

 

Today I have a couple of cards to share with you that I created using some awesome CHARM'S CREATIONS super stars.

 

My darling daughter has been invited to a Minion party so with her permission I used a tag from a pair of Minion pyjamas I bought her recently to create a cute Minion card.

 

 

Those super stars are the perfect Minion yellow!

 

 

It pays to check all of the tags you cut from your kids' clothing before you throw them away!

 

My son will be turning 9 in 8 sleeps so I made him a card too. He is Dragons mad (we all are actually!) so it had to be a Toothless card for him. I found this Toothless image on Google (can't remember who posted it. Sorry!) and teamed it with a black and a grey super star.

 

 

 

I love these stars. They are the perfect size for card making.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Jungle Boogie

WOW!!

 

I am so late in posting this!! Time has gotten away from me this month. I can't believe June is almost over!

 

So I'm sure you have seen this month's challenge at KRAFT PLUS already but here is a peek:

 

 

Circles + animal print on kraft cardstock. Easy right? You can find all the details and heaps of inspiration from the creative team over HERE.

 

Here's what I created:

 

 

It surprised me when I was creating this that the first Color Shine I grabbed was the Blush one. Pink and jungle don't really seem like a match made in heaven. But just look at the photo that I snapped at Monarto Zoo on Christmas Day last year. It had to be pink!

 

 

I had a go at stamp carving too for the first time and made a circular giraffe print stamp.

 

And check out the gorgeous animal self print map marker made by the very talented Charmane Koch at CHARM'S CREATIONS.

 

 

I do hope you have had a chance to play along this month. Make sure you have a read of the RULES to make sure your gorgeous creation is eligible to be in the draw for a prize. I would hate to see you miss out!! :-)

 

Thanks for stopping by my little blog. :-)
