Pastel Rainbow thinking of you

While creating my rainbow card for Kelly's social stamping blog I also created a pastel version. Same idea- watercolour wash background, some added texture and decorate with one of my surplus embellishments from a card kit.
This one is left over from my "Lots of Happy" card kit, and the sentiment is from Rooted in Nature which I have used a bit this week.  I coloured the floral bouquet with Blends

The shimmery white background has a watercolour wash using the 2018-2020 In Colours. Sadly, these will retire in only a few months, so if you love them it would be a good idea to make sure the inks and refills are in your collection.
Both this kit and the For the Love of Felt kits (see yesterday's post) are still available and are easy to put together. In these times of isolation they are the perfect activity for some togetherness and connection. Maybe now is the time to introduce stamping to some of your friends or family who haven't had time to do much craft in the past.
It's easy to order them- just click on the image below or on the rainbow swirl "Shop Now" button on the right panel to go to my online store, or drop me a line and I can help you.


I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

  1. I really like the pastel rainbow with the embossed texture. Your stitched edge is a great touch. Chantell

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
