I thought -Hmmm what to do with this???? Then I had a lightbulb moment.
Thanks to Pat Carr who demonstrated at Perth Party Time at few weeks ago

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge - Week 7

You have come over from Alisons page.

This weeks challenge was a colour challenge.

 

 

 

Eeeek!! I LOVE sparkles....
But this had me stumped without adding any other colours (besides whisper white) it was quite hard.

I had been cutting up some stars for my Christmas Stampastack on Tuesday (tomorrow night) out of glimmer paper and thought how could I use the negatives from it??
I whipped out a sheet of Strawberry Slush paper from the All abloom paper stack (yes I know I used the stack last week) but I love these stacks they are so useful and added the negative for the background.

Here it is

No wastage in my household! Especially the gorgeous glimmer paper.
I also used the Bright & Beautiful stampset (not just for Christmas) I didn't put a sentiment as it could be used for anything. 

Stamp Sets:  Bright & Beautiful

Ink:  Versamark

Card: Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush, Silver Glimmer, All Abloom paper stack, Whisper white & Silver Foil

Tools: Bigshot, Stars Dies, Itty bitty punch & heat tool

Embellishments: Crushed curry embossing powder, Silver satin ribbon, Dimensionals & Rhinestone jewels

All these products can be purchased online through my store

 

I hope you liked it.

This weeks challenge was a sketch one again.

 

 

I decided to start using some stampsets that I haven't used at all or hardly at all. "In this together" was one of the first sets I purchased when the catalogue came out and I just hadn't used it at all!!

 

 

 

 

I pulled out the "All Abloom" paper stack and decided to pull the colours from the dsp.
The dress is also from the paper stack to tie it all in nicely.

Pretty.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge - Week 5

I am really enjoying these creative challenges although I must admit I found this weeks colour challenge very challenging.

 

You have found your way over from Tamsins page, I hope you are loving the creativity.

 

Here is a picture of the colour combo for this week

 

I thought hmmmm its time I posted a chrissy card and these colours would be great.
Out came Wondrous Wreath.

 

 

Normally most people would use the green for the wreath but I thought I would change it up a little and use Pool Party & Island Indigo. I pulled out the hardwood stamp along with festival of trees and my vellum for the window in the door.

 

Where is the festival of trees you ask?? Well if you look really carefully there is a tree in the window of the door. It is a little hard to tell by a photograph but it is there and it is easier to see on the real card.

 

Here it is a little closer

 

 

Yes it is still a little hard to see.

Oh well you will just have to believe me when I say it looks really cool.

 

 

Stamp Sets:  Hardwood, Trim the Tree & Wondrous Wreath

Ink: Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo & Pear Pizzazz

Card: Pear Pizzazz, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White & Vellum

Tools: Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies, Bigshot, 1" Square Punch

Embellishments: Dazzling Diamonds used with Two way glue, dimensionals & Antique Brads.

All these items can be ordered from my online store

 

Over to the talented Jane to see what she has done this week.
