Brighter Days with Uniko Studio Stamps

Hello,

How goes your week end?  I know in the UK you've had some rain.......I've been watching the tennis from Wimbledon.  It's been a bit wet here too, though the sun occasionally puts in an appearance so no complaints....it is our winter after all.


 Uniko Studio goodies arrived the other day which was quite a surprise as I only ordered them last week end.....they must have caught the fast jet......thanks Beverley :).  I've inked up a couple so thought I'd share a card  today.

I've used the sketch above from CTS and the following sets:

Flower Power # 2

Background Builders - Round in Circles

Bright Butterflies with the matching die.

Other products include:

AnnaBelle Stamps Kraft card.

Zing white opaque embossing powder with VersaMark ink. 

Hero Arts inks in soft brown and latte. 

Mr Huey's Calico Mists in calico white and calico shine.

I'm looking forward to brighter days.......The boss and I are getting ready for a trip back to the UK and the English countryside so hope the weather settles :-)

Enjoy what's left of your week end.

AnnaBelle Stamps - Friday Feature 011 - Christmas

I'm pleased to say I'm no longer working between two rooms......thankfully!  The boss has moved all his 'stuff' into the office, keeping all the new furniture we bought and adding his desk.  He's very pleased and  it really looks so tidy in there.

I've now moved into 'the granny flat', which was the room we used to store everything whilst we sorted what was staying and what was going.  Poor Ian did two Ikea trips to add some much needed storage for me. Still a bit of work to do to get things straight but it's already so much better having space for both my sewing paraphernalia  and my paper bits! 

So guess what, I actually made three cards for AnnaBelle's FF011, which this week is all about Christmas.  Go take a look at the range of Christmas stamps in the store, because if you buy over the weekend you'll receive a 20% discount. Just add the code FF011 to your order.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My first card used the last sketch from CTS#32, though I flipped the sketch over to accommodate the camels :-)

Belle Stamps Wise Men features on this card. I omitted the sitting camel and coloured the others using Inktense pencils and a Sakura clear star pen, embossing the star in gold.

My next cards use Belle Stamps Jewelled Tree, a beautiful set that is perfect for creating multiple cards very quickly........Just change the colour theme, which is what I did.  I still like traditional colours for Christmas but purple and green looks OK too!

That's it for me today, thanks for taking the time to drop by........Don't forget to call in and check on the Belle's for more lovely Christmas projects (It's not to early to start  :) ).  Links are under the Design Team tag at the top of my page.

I've used a textile embossing folder and 'Stitched for you' from Flourishes for my card.  

Starting with some scored and folded red card for the base,  adding an embossed layer in white.

The image stamped and cut using a die from Spellbinders Small circles, was coloured with Prisma pencils.  A hand cut banner in black was also embossed using Cuttlebug's 'Circles and Dots' EF and wrapped in cotton twine.  Both the image and banner have been popped up using Scrapbook foam adhesive squares.
