The Deconstructed Sketch 155 and a Colour challenge at Paper Players PP204

Hi, I have been playing with some of the GORGEOUS new colours and papers. I am totally hooked on the All Abloom paper collection. There is such a great mix of contemporary and traditional patterns with stripes, patterns and florals both old and new. I have played with the DCS155 and have 2 quite different looks for you. It's a great sketch to show off different papers. I have to say I am also really impressed with the new Kraft Cardstock which is a great weight and a beautiful texture.

The first uses Mossy Meadow, Pistachio and Yellow highlights (sorry but the colour isn't quite right in this shot)

while the second uses the colour challenge at Paper Pals

 I also used the dictionary stamp with Blackberry ink, as well as some Mossy meadow embroidery thread. The little heart is punched form the new glimmer Paper which is also gorgeous.

Inside I had a little play with the Photopolymer stamp Bordering Blooms - these could be going to get quite a bit of ink!

more later, back to creating, 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
