Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Hello crafty friends! What a week it's been, I thought I may have had covid, but tests were negative - but what ever bug I had knocked me for six, spending a number of days in bed and on the couch, I feel like I've turned the corner and had the energy to get back in the craft studio today, my mojo was lacking so I went to some of my favourite blog challenges and found inspiration here: My card today is simple, with just a touch of Wink of Stella for some bling inside the sentiment from the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set . I used sponge daubers to blend the challenge colours on the Rays of Light background stamp , then used offset matting on a Pacific Point card base - the card came together really quickly once I got started. I just needed to "believe" my mojo would come back after 10 or so days of not creating, and it did!  I can't believe I didn't have the Rays of Light stamp on my first wish list, it so versatile, you should grab one for yourself today!   Ji...

Hello crafty friends, it's time this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss & Pale Papaya - such a gorgeous collection! I've used the Rays of Light background stamp, for the focus image of the card.  I used the Stamparatus to apply the ink to the background stamp - I used a dauber, applying one colour at a time, and restamping if I wanted a deeper colour.  For some bling I added Gilded Leafing , using Multi Purpose adhesive, waiting til it was tacky then added the Leaf. I like gold with purple tones, and he gold embossed sentiment from Color & Contour sentiment fits perfectly with colour and the feel of the card. I love the visual effect of sun peeking through clouds, so I die cut the sentiment layer using a Basic Border die for this effect.

Hello crafty friends, today is Share it Sunday, and what I love most about this blog hop is "anything goes".  Its been a while since I made a slimline card, and I've recently received my order with the Rays of Light background stamp..... that was my starting point for today's card. I used the Stamparatus to apply Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Fresh Freesia to the background stamp - I used a dauber, applying one colour at a time, and restamping if I wanted a deeper colour. As I stamped, my thoughts were "why was this stamp not on my first wish list?", I am totally in love with it! Because I had chosen a slimline style card, the stamp didn't cover the entire length of the card, so I decided to add a layer of clouds to the top and bottom of the card using a Basic Border die. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set and clear embossed "sunshine to brighten your day" before die cutting the cloud edge and mounting with Dimen...
