Just Add Ink Challenge #5

Hi!
I made a card today as a thank you from my son's cricket team to their coach and decided to use the All in the Family stamp set and accessories. To add some dimension I used masking, dimensionals and crystal effects - nothing unique there, but I haven't used this set for a while and just by adding these techniques I was able to get just the effect I wanted - and was reminded of what a versatile set this is!

Here's my card (beware some yo yo yellow to follow...!)

And here's a close up of some dimensional detail:

Stamp with Us Theme Challenge

This weeks Stamp with Us challenge is to make a child's card. What a great theme! I'm always trying to make last minute cards as I should be about to head out with my children to a party! I've made a girly one for one of my 6 year old daughter's friend. I based the card layout on a sketch by Amy Rysavy here (she has some wonderful sketches). I used All in the Family which is a bit fiddly, but so cute!

Of course I couldn't go past using pink & lots of shiny dazzling diamonds & bling!

Stamps: All in the family,family favourites, family phrases Ink & card: So saffron, rose red & regal rose Other: pink flamingo dsp, word window punch, regal rose grosgrain ribbon, stamp-a-ma-jig. Non SU! -nestabilities & rhinestones.

Got to dash,

Have a good week!

Happy Birthday Little Miss One!

Here's a card I made recently using the 'All in the Family' set & the coordinating sentiment set 'Family Phrases'. The edge of the regal rose cardstock has been scalloped using none other than the humble corner rounder punch - very simple to do! The number One is from the 'Lots of Letters' chipboard pieces & I've used dazzling diamonds & the white gel pen to finish off.

Hope everyone in WA is enjoying their long w/e!
Cheers!

Ballet Buddies!

Here's another card for a little girl using the All in the Family set. I've used the coordinating Family Favourites set for the ballet dresses, balloons and pressie. I cased the layout from a Christmas card by KWerner. I've stamped happy birthday repeatedly in regal rose on the regal rose card base and I've embellished with dazzling diamonds and regal rose wide grosgrain ribbon.

The card and ink are regal rose and certainly celery. Can't wait to make some christmas cards with these little stamp guys!

Happy weekend!
