JAI #597 flowers and patterned paper using Hand Penned

I have had the luxury of having quite a bit of time to be creative this week and have really enjoyed the opportunity to follow along with some favourite challenges and groups for inspiration and ideas.

One of those groups is "the Crafty Carrot" and I participated in their March workshop using Rainbow of Happiness- and it certainly did make me happy!

Jennifer Frost is one of the designers and she has a special interest in "using up your stash" and using past products- which is perfect since I DO have quite a few on my shelves. So this card is CASE'd from her project. I have a few more which I will share soon ( who am I kidding, I have a LOT more !)

The Hand Penned stamp and dies are current - and staying for another year which is fabulous. Same for the Embossing folder and the INcolour Shimmer vellum. Sadly the rainbow dies are not in the new Annual Catalogue which starts on May 2, but I am hopeful that the rainbows will carry over after the end of June when that catalogue finishes.

The ribbon is retired as are the Crystal buttons and the hexagon punch - an oldie but a goodie. I still love stitching buttons onto projects.

To colour my flower I used the Blends ( alcohol markers ) on Crumb Cake cardstock and then coloured over it with a white chalkboard marker - sadly these are also retiring. They are really useful, and add a nice dimension here.

This is Jenn's card, isn't it a beauty.

Thanks for stopping by today, I will share more of my rainbow creations as I have had such fun preparing them

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

Rolled paper roses Frames

Two new Frames for the Handmade Expo Markets this weekend. These are hand rolled vanilla paper roses, with newsprint DSP in the red version. Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, liz

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
