Bermuda Bay Birds

My second post of the night, with a card I've made for two challenges

The first is ColourQ with these colours, ( I've added blue )

and secondly, Less is More with the theme of
 FELT OR FABRIC

Here's my card

Using Archival ink, I stamped one bird onto white card, and the other was inked and rolled over with a brayer, and then transferred to the card to reverse the image. They were coloured with my Aqua Painter and WM.

Supplies :

All are Stampin' Up unless stated otherwise

Card = Whisper White and white base FMS

Stamps = Everything Eleanor and Simply Sketched
Inks = Black Archival and Bermuda Bay
Tools = Big Shot, Brayer, Marianne Designs Die, and Aqua Painter
Extras = Black Felt and Gems

Thanks for dropping by, and I'll be back soon, hopefully on better form

Black Velvet

I'm not feeling too well and cant sleep, so I thought I'd take my mind off things and do some crafting.

I made this card with three challenges in mind,

First, the colours from ColourQ, ( I added yellow),

the sketch is from Fab Friday,

and lastly, Less is More with a theme of

         FELT OR FABRIC

                                                            

However, I think I've overdone it a little!!.

Supplies :
All Stampin' Up unless stated otherwise
Card = Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, and white base FMS
Stamps = Fabulous Florets, Papillon Potpourri, and Simply Sketched
Inks = Black and Crushed Curry

Before I go back to bed (perhaps I should have stayed there!), I'm going to make another one now, and this time I MUST try to keep it CAS.

Goose and Gander

What a week I've had! but I'll explain more later.

My card today is my DT card for The Male Room, and also for two challenges

The sketch is from Clean and Simple

and the colours from Dynamic Duos

Here it is

I stamped the geese in Versamark on white card, and heat embossed them in black ( that's why they are shining in the photo as the camera flash reflected off their necks). I then stamped in brown the feathers, grasses, and sentiment in black on some more card, laid it on some crumb cake and white base. The geese were coloured and added on 3D pads, and the finishing touch was the pearls under the sentiment.

Supplies :

All are Stampin' Up unless stated otherwise

Card = Whisper White, Crumb Cake, and white base FMS

Stamps = Wetlands and Fine Feathers

Inks = Versamark, Black, and Crumb Cake

Tools = Heat Gun and Stamp-a-ma-jig

It's my nephew, Nathan's, 6th birthday on Monday, so he is having a party on Sunday so his friends can all come to play. I've been busy making bunting, Sugar Icing Star Wars characters for his cake, and a paper machete dinosaur pinata( which I'll show you some other time )

The cat is not from Star Wars! I've had to make her with a pink scarf and bow for my 2 1/2 year old niece, Sophie, so she wont feel left out. Sophie insisted that she looked like the "Mummy Cat" from the Disney film, The Aristocats.

It's time for my hospital treatment again on Wednesday, so I'll be back asap. Have a great weekend....I'm in charge of party games and the bouncy castle!!

I started by stamping the goose and wading birds in Archival ink on some white card, and coloured them with my Write Markers. After masking the goose, I then used my WM's and aqua painter to colour the receding tide and waters edge on the horizon, and continued off the bird panel onto the white base card. I then coloured my stamps to make the sand dunes in the foreground with a little Warbler clinging to the reeds looking on. The bird panel and sentiment banner were put in place mounted on green card with 3D pads.
