Rainy Day Fox...

Hello!

I'm back with another creation from my creative week (well this one was the weekend - yesterday I had a lovely quiet day to play!). This time I combined the colours from Create with Connie & Mary and this week's Seize the Sketch...

I pulled put one of the new hostess sets, Life's Adventures - perfect for colouring - together with a Project Life card from the Everyday Adventure collection, and came up with this...

So cute!! I discovered that the font in the Life's Adventure set matches perfectly with the font from one of the stamps in the A Dozen Thoughts set - and they work so well together!! The fox was stamped on Whisper White with Stazon and punched out with the 2 1/2" circle punch, then stamped again on Naturals White, coloured with ink and an aquabrush. I cut out the fox and umbrella then popped up over the circle image with dimensionals. I embossed the other sentiment in white and added some silver buttons and silver satin ribbon to finish.

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Life's Adventures, A Dozen Thoughts
Ink: Stazon, Versamark, Tangelo Twist, Bermuda Bay
Paper: Project Life card (Everyday Adventure), Bermuda Bay, Tangelo Twist, Whisper White, Basic Grey, Naturals White
Accessories: Silver buttons, silver satin ribbon, white EP
Tools: 2 1/2" circle punch, Starburst framelits

Golden Happy Heart...

Hiya!

I'm so happy to be back playing along with the ColourQ Royal Court this week! We have a great combo this week, perfect for ringing in the New Year...

I was keen to play with some new goodies, some from Convention and another from the Whole Lot of Love promotion going on at the moment, so with that in mind, I came up with this...

I embossed the Flowerfull heart with gold embossing powder and die-cut using the hearts framelits. The doily in the background was cut from a gold foil sheet with the sizzlits doilies die, and I layered a dsp circle over the top. The sentiment was embossed in black and underneath I have used some new sneak peek products from the Spring/Summer catty coming at the end of Jan - gold washi tape and sequins.

I used the fab sketch from Sketchbook Saturday as my starting point for the layout...

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Flowerfull, A Dozen Thoughts
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Winter Frost dsp, Modern Medley dsp, Whisper White, Basic Black, Gold Foil
Accessories: Watercolour washi tape, gold sequins, White organza ribbon, neutrals candy dots, gold & black embossing powder
Tools: Delicate Doilies sizzlit die, 2 1/2" circle punch, hearts framelits
