Lillybet's Papers

Well I hope you have all had a Happy Easter. I certainly did and ran out of time for crafting before the weekend, so I am quite late to join the Colour Tree Challenge for this week. However, the colours are so gorgeous that I did make 2 cards which I would love to share with you. I love the new Timeless Textures stamp set and all the amazing effects you can achieve with it. I think it particularly lends itself to masculine cards too. Mossy Meadow is such a strong colour it certainly looks great cut as the leaf skeleton from the Rose Wonder thinlits . Mossy Meadow will be retiring along with Lost Lagoon in only a few short months and I will be sad to see them go, so make sure you have your ink refills before the stock runs out. It was a good opportunity to use up some thick bakers twine in those colours, and some timber flags from an old Project Life kit too. I took the layout from CAS(E) this sketch and had some fun with these colours. While I had the colours out I...

Welcome back for this week's colour challenge at The Colour Tree Challenge #11.  It's a gorgeous colour combo and I had a lot of fun watercoloring with these beauties. This week I have used the sketch design from CAS(e) this sketch. The watercolored panel looked so pretty I didn't want much to cover it over so a simple sentiment was all it needed, and the CAS(e)this sketch layout #164 was perfect for that. I heat embossed the Birthday greeting onto velum and wrapped that panel around the base piece. The little flowers are punched from a separate spare watercoloured piece, and they hold the twine in place with glue dots. My crafting would be lost without those handy dots. And on the inside- from the fabulous Endless Birthday wishes, just a  little colouring with a blender pen- so simple. It would be great if you could "ink up and link up" your creation using the gorgeous colours at TCTC this week. Happy Stamping, Liz

Hello again, I am so happy to have a card for you using the fabulous colours at The colour Tree Challenge#10. It's a beautiful neutral colour palette and perfect for a masculine thankyou which I was asked to make. I love the leaf image form the World of Dreams set and the sentiment is from one of the Sale-A- ration sets which you can still earn, Perfect  Pairings . I had to hunt for some chocolate chip as I don't own the ink, but was really happy to find some old DSP. The colour does tone very nicely with the Tip Top Taupe. Chocolate Chip is not a shade that sees too much use lately,so it's nice to see it out on display! Thanks for looking, please have a go at creating a project using the colour inspiration and we would love you to link up to the challenge. Liz

Can you believe it? I'm a guest designer??, and what gorgeous colours to play with. Thanks so much to Bronwyn for all her inspiration. I think this lovely combo is perfect for a mother's day card. I love watercolouring on Shimmery White cardstock, it gives such lovely fluid backgrounds. And of course you can stamp on them too, here I used the timeless textures while it was wet. And Gold simply has to be heat embossed, so once I had the gold butterfly it was easy to colour with a blender pen and Soft Sky ink. The gold glimmer washing tape from the sale-a-bration specials makes it so easy. The little flower is from the Rose Garden thinlits and was cut from shimmery white cardstock too. There's a little watercolour panel behind it but it needed some glitter to bring it to life! If you click on the colour tree logo image above it will take you to the challenge page and you can link up your creation, and check out some others. Look forward to seeing what you cr...
