Rainy days - Playing in the Rain

We all have them in one way or another - rainy days, it can be hail storms, or it can be more subtle, but one thing for sure when you reach out to a friend they will appreciate to hear from you.



I'm playing along with the CC&S challenge this week with Playing in the Rain, I took some liberty with the colours as 2 of the colours are retired and no longer in my stash, but Bubble Bath and Old Olive do make lovely substitute.

I've used a mixture of Stampin' Blends and Blending Brushes to colour my cute little rabbit, adding the clouds with Dimensionals for extra height.



For the pop of colour on the left of the card I've used the 2023-2025 6x6 DSP, with a strip of Bubble Bath, just a little to make a statement but not overwhelm the design, amazing what a little bit of pattern can do to lift the look of the finished card.

    Such a super cute card! I love the rabbit playing in the rain! Yep, those colors did retire - we design our challenges months in advance, and this one was created long before I even knew what colors were going away. Bubble Bath and Old Olive are a perfect replacement. Thanks for joining us at CC&S

Thank you for everything Hues of Happiness

Hello crafty friends, I'm using one of my favourite layouts today with the simply gorgeous Hues of Happiness DSP . I decided to make the card using Pool Party cardstock to complement the blue flowers in a bed of purples, I think it turned out lovely. I added detail to the card front by using the Scalloped edge from the Scalloped Contours Dies , and heat embossed a sentiment in silver from the Color & Contour stamp set .  To finish I added a touch of bling with Rhinestone  Basic Jewels . Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month.

Color Fusers Blog Hop June 2023

Hello everyone, it's the beginning of a new month, so that means it's time for this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our creations will feature the new pink - Bubble Bath, the returning Pretty Peacock, and Pool Party. I decided on the pastel approach, I began with creating my background with a paper stencil cut using the cloud die from Basic Borders , working from Pretty Peacock to Pool Party and finishing with Bubble Bath towards the bottom of the card, moving the stencil a little each time so as to not have identical clouds in a line. I was excited to try a creation with the Beautiful Balloons Bundle - I traced the outside edge of the balloon die then blended each colour, leaving the right hand side a little lighter, the inked up the "detail" stamp for the balloons just on the left and stamped.  Once die cut, I then stamped the ribbon and sentiment, before mounting the balloons with Dimensionals .

Color Fusers Blog Hop January 2024

Happy New Year! It's a new month, so that means it's time for the Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our creations feature Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight and one of my old favourites Melon Mambo! What a bright and bubbly combination, so I decided to create a "Feel Better Soon" card - I'm seeing a number of friends posting on Facebook that they have come done with Covid, so this will be perfect to lift their spirits. I've used a new stamp set from the up coming catalogue released in a couple of days " Painted Lavender ", and not with a hit of purple in sight! The layered sentiment from Wanted to Say Dies is perfect for this design - and I finished with some Bakers Twine. Continue on through the rest of the Color Fusers Blog Hop by clicking the button below for lots more inspiration using this month’s colors. Next up is the amazing  Bonnie O'Neill !
