I Meant to Behave...

I'm playing along with the Color Throwdown challenge this week.

Isn't that picture adorable? I so want to cuddle some baby ducks right now, lol. Anyways, back to card making business! I used the colours as backgrounds for some just as adorable but definitely-up-to-mischief cats.

I think that snarky sentiment is just perfect for this lot! 😂

Materials used:

• card - basic white, basic black
• dies - Postage Collage (Waffle Flower), cats (stash)
• stencils - Postage Collage Everyday (Waffle Flower)
• distress oxide inks - spun sugar, squeezed lemonade, shabby shutters
• other - blending brushes, Big Shot, Small Talk Snarky stickers (Tim Holtz), mounting foam, Dimensionals

Thanks for calling in!

Cheers

JAI #620 - Just Add Inspiration

We've a stunning inspiration pic for you this week at Just Add Ink.

That glorious rich blue with a hint of turquoise immediately made me think of uncharted mariner, the latest distress ink colour, which in turn brought water to mind and that's how I ended up with an aquatic themed card!

I just adore the supremely unimpressed expressions on the faces of these fish! 

Materials used:

• stamps - Oddball Fish (Stamping Bella)
• card - basic white, Idea-ology Kraftstock Stack - Warm
• distress/oxide inks - uncharted mariner
• Copic markers - Y11,Y15,Y19,B00,B000,B0000
• other - MISTI, Dimensionals, white embossing powder, heat tool, wave stencil, blending brushes, black marker, 2022-2024 in-colour matte decorative dots (SU)

Pop over to the JAI blog to see how this picture inspired my fellow team mates. 

Thanks for dropping in.

It's Not Happening

Was in the mood for a play today and as Tim Holtz's Silhouette Birds dies had recently arrived in my letterbox, they were the tool du jour. Also tried out one of SU's new in-colours, sweet sorbet, pairing it with daffodil delight for a sunrise kind of feel to my smooshed background.

The birds are cut from card which has a kraft core, so I sanded them back a bit for this lovely rustic effect. And as I was in a somewhat frivolous mood, I picked my sentiment stickers from Tim's Snarky pack. I am absolutely sure that every woman out there can relate to this one, especially after the last couple of years. In fact, if not for the plumber checking my gas and hot water connections while this was being made, I probably would have been sans pants and bra! Lol.

Materials used:

• stamps - Entomology (Tim Holtz)
• card - watercolour, Distress Kraft-Stock Neutrals, daffodil (Kaisercard)
• dies - Silhouette Birds (TH), Bundle of Baby Clothes (MFT), stitched rectangle 
• SU inks - sweet sorbet, daffodil delight
• other - sanding block, Dimensionals, Big Shot, craft foam, Small Talk Snarky stickers (TH), black soot archival ink, sponge dauber

Thanks for calling in.
