Beautiful little butterfly for GDP#022, with the TCTC#5

Back again!
And in my bid to join the #imbringingbirthdaysback movement I have been busy creating cards today. While this one doesn't have any sentiment on it, I have a birthday person in mind.
If you haven't heard about this movement you should join in. I explain it in more detail in this post.

My friend Bronwyn Eastley is a well known Australian Papercrafter who has recently launched
"The Colour Tree Challenge" which goes live each Sunday evening, along with our CASEing the Catty Bloghop (and monthly Challenge).
 I had the colours on my desk for another Set of cards so it was natural to keep on creating with them.


The background Definitely Dahlia Stamp is new to my collection and I'm loving it. Here I have embossed with clear powder on the Kraft Cardstock, and I have used it with only Versamark on the Navy base. Some watercolouring on the Shimmer Paper circle and some fussy cutting of the beautiful little butterfly from the Grateful Bunch set were all that it needed. And voila!


Thanks for looking,

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
