Beth Duff Designs: Follow your Dreams!

I think this card is going to speak to a lot of readers! Follow your dreams they know their way!

I created this card using one of Beth Duff Designs digi stamps that she's provided to a select few who are trying out for her design team. Try outs aside - I really loved this image and had the perfect sentiment to partner with it. 

Here is the card:

When I saw this digi stamp I knew I wanted to create a wave like background - I would normally stamp more, create patterns but this wasn't the option available so... I decided to use a Lawn Fawn die set (Hillside Borders) to create my waves using different shades of blue cardstock. I even used some corrugated card (which flattened slightly in my Cuttlebug), and some vellum. Some card I even embossed then I added sequins and machine stitched lines - this card is very textural! (I LOVE IT!)

The mermaid I coloured using Copic markers and I added extra interest to her hair and tail with Wink of Stella - clear (glitter) and tiny star sequins. Because mermaids are suppose to sparkle!!!

Below you will find a list of supplies used to create this card and of course lots of detailed photos.

Growing in Unity: Day 1

Image
Yippee!! After waiting 11 months, 10 days, it's finally my week to share my Unity cards. 5 whole days of inspiration is coming your way...oh! and lets not forget the sponsored giveaway by Unity at the end of my week - a grab bag with 25 random stamps! My first card I decided to use one of my favourite sets - I actually combined two (no, three!) Unity sets that really go well together. How do you use your Unity stamps? Would you mix and match them? When I first starting stamping (15 years ago) the thought of mixing sets would make me cringe - but now... no problems! I think it's a great way to make the most of your stamp collection. Here are my cards using Unity: Tumbleweed Houses , On My Way and Gypsy Journal (sentiment only) I coloured the images using a few of my ZIG brush pens and cut them out with my silhouette (for those who are visiting me for the first time - I try to avoid fussy cutting!) I added a few sewing machine details and adhered the hous...

A Super Quick Card!

Just sharing another card I made (with the help of master 2 1/2yo). Stamp is unity -  Vase with stripes.  C oloured with prisma pencils and gamsol. A super quick card to make as master 2 1/2yo did most of the work. I just added some washi tape, sequins, twine and a stamp I coloured in during the week (for practice)  :) Entered into  ARTastic Inspiration Photo Challenge . Link to Unity Friends with Flair.

A Spring Inspired Card...

Image
This week (or should I say the last few weeks) have been super crazy busy! We got good news, my Hubby renewed his work contract with the option to move back home to Adelaide (which of course we jumped at!) So...we are now packing our belongings in to boxes and the worst room is...come on! have a guess! :) Yup!! My craft room... But its mostly packed up, with the exception of a few stamps, paper packs, a handful of embellishments and my copic markers.  Last week, in between all the craft room packing (I got distracted a few times!) I created this card, its from Unity's ...bunches of love stamps. I decided to make a few, I hate having left over paper, so I tend to create a card (generally for someone's birthday coming up) and then duplicate it so I have a stash of cards for those occasions you forget someones birthday coming up!  This was the perfect stamp set to do this! While stamping, I wished I had that misti tool Ive seen a few times now through youtube videos,...
