This weeks set is Animal Outing.....(For those who attended Onstage in April you will have this set so I encourage you to please join in with us this week)
 I have made a lot of cards with this beautiful set and I will make a lot more!

The main image was stamped on the inside of the card and coloured with the blends.

It goes really well with the Tropical Escape papers and Thinlits Dies.

The sentiment mat is actually the centrepiece that was cut out in the Granny Apple Green and the framelit placed over the edge and cut to make the pattern.

• Ink:  Black Memento & Shaded Spruce
• Card: Whisper White, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce and Tropical Escape DSP

Such a pretty set and can be used multiple ways.

I haven't used this set with my Stampin' Blends as yet so it was the perfect opportunity to whip up a simple but really effective card.

I even coloured the background with the Pool Party light blend for a bit more depth and used the black stampin' write marker to colour the Happy Birthday in on the sentiment stamp to stamp on the vellum. I did let the vellum dry overnight.

• Stamps: Beautiful Day
• Ink:  Black Memento
• Card: Whisper White & Vellum
• Tools: Bermuda Bay, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry and Pool Party Light and Dark Stampin' Blends. Black Stampin' Write Marker

TGIF Challenge 166 #TGIF166

I am so, so super lucky to have won a challenge with this great team last month.

I have been chosen as a guest designer for June and I chose this challenge.

I love using glitter on my cards but it isn't always the easiest to photograph.....

I cut the floral pattern from the Springtime Impressions Thinlits and used sponge daubers to add a bit of colour to the different flowers and leaves. I then put some tombow down on the roses and sprinkled dazzling diamonds over the top for that sparkle.

So so sparkly in real life!
The background is dsp from the Garden Impressions paper stack with tombow glue on the base and Dazzling Diamonds glitter also sprinkled over the top.

• Stamps: Perennial Birthday
• Ink:  Bluberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce, So Saffron & Melon Mambo
• Card: Whisper White, Blueberry Bushel, Vellum & Garden Impressions DSP stack
• Tools: Springtime Impressions Thinlits & Layering Ovals Framelits with the bigshot & sponge daubers
• Embellishments:  Dazzling Diamonds Glitter
• #TGIF166

I was a little stumped on this colour challenge, then I pulled out some of my new DSP as a couple of the colours are in it!

So Lucky as I needed something simple this week as I am still feeling a bit average!

This is going to an amazing friend of mine as a massive thankyou for something she did for me last week and I am forever grateful! 

Did you know that the thinlits from Animal Friends match the DSP in Animal Expedition?
That is what I used for the already pre-coloured Rhino!!

• Stamps: Best Birds, Animal Outing
• Ink: Crushed Curry
• Card: Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Silver Foil and Animal Expedition
• Tools: Animal Friends & Apron of Love with the bigshot, 2 1/2" circle, Leaf & triple banner punches, Crushed Curry & Basic Grey Stampin' Write markers.
