Penny Black - It's your day

Hi all,

Its a lovely morning here in Melbourne with lots of winter sunshine, which makes a change from all the wind & rain we have been having latley.

I was able to get decent photos of the card I was working on from early last week.

I coloured this one with my Prismacolor pencils, and fussy cut it out.  The sentiment is by mama elephant - Birthday Sentiments.  The embossing folder is an old Stampin Up! one, and I did a distress oxide blend before I embossed it,  The banner and the striped paper are both by MFT.

I'm entering this one into - 

1. PBSC July - Anything Goes...Optional 'Food and/or Drink' - EDITED I got a PBSC Favourite
2. Double D Challenge - Birthday
3. WWC231 - Tristan's "All About Occasions" Challenge

Rainbow Of Smiles....

Hi all,

So I had an idea in my head when I saw the "Just Us Girls" Challenge - Word Week #495 The word this week is Smile, and I don't know about you but I always Smile when I see a rainbow...

So my card features a rainbow of colours, and the word SMILE

and my bears are misbehaving whilst having their photo taken LOL.. One has lost the balloon and the other is staring at the little dog looking over the photo frame haha... OK, I'll just show you...

So everything on here is MFT apart from the Polaroid frames and the little dog, those are Mama Elephant..The Stamp is called Sticky notes.  The bears are from the MFT set - Birthday Bear, the SMILE die was a free with $60 purchase and the paper is from the Party patterns pad.

I Copic coloured my scene and I cut the smile from a piece of card that I had ink blended with distress oxides. It was a really easy card to make, but I just love it... I'm smiling just typing this haha..

I'm also entering this into

Lavender Clouds and Cuteness

Hi all,

I've been seeing a lot of pink clouds on social media atm, so I thought I would do some lavender ones LOL..

I received some happy mail this week, and after buying so many Altenew sets for my AECP, I wanted to buy some critter cuteness! And what goes with critter cuteness ....Lavender clouds..well it does on my card anyway haha..

Two MFT sets complete this card, The Scene Builder and Joyful Heart bears, and the sentiment is by Mama Elephant - Birthday Messages.

So I stamped the scene in a hybrid ink, and I water coloured the scene using distress oxides and then I lightly went over it when it was dry with the mini cloud stencil and grass stencil by MFT.

I used the following colours, Dusty concord, Milled lavender, Victoria velvet and Tumbled glass for the sky, and Mowed Lawn, Evergreen Bough and Bundled Sage for the grass and a tiny hint of  Vintage Photo for the tree trunk.

My little cute bear and butterflies, have been water coloured with Zig markers in, brick beige and medium beige and light beige and the heart and butterflies are peach pink, pink haze and almond pink.  The sequins are "Shes's so Lovely" from Lucy's Little Things. A touch of nuvo shimmer on the heart too.

I'm going to enter this into a few challenges...
