Take life by the reins

I am so pleased with how this card turned out.  Hope you like it too. I used Thick Whisper White card for the base and the lovely wood effect paper is from the Wood Textures DSP stack.

I stamped the horse on Whisper White card first, in Early Espresso, then masked it with another horse which I stamped on a large post-it note and cut out just inside the line.  I then used the Stamparatus to stamp the frame in Night of Navy. Being a large stamp, using the Stamparatus made stamping a breeze.  I also used navy for the greeting and Mossy Meadow for the trees.

I used Cajun Craze and Early Espresso watercolour pencils to colour in the horse. I added a 'flag' in Night of Navy, wrapped with a bit of copper thread, then popped the stamped layer with dimensionals on another piece of Whisper White, set off just a bit to tie in with the design of the frame.

Beauty Abounds Flourish

Today's card features the floral flourish and a butterfly from the Beauty Abounds set. This a fabulous new set in the 2019 spring/summer catalogue.  There is a beautiful set of coordinating thinlits dies, Butterfly Beauty, which is available on its own or as a bundle with the stamps. The 10% bundle discount will only be available till 3rd June. I hope they carry over to the 2019/2020 annual catalogue, but be aware, they won't be available as a bundle in the new catalogue, should they carry over.

I used Mossy Meadow for all the stamping on Whisper White card and Stampin' Blends makers for colouring in. The base card is Whisper White Thick card which I partially embossed using the Garden Trellis folder. A few Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins finish off the card.

Hibiscus thank you

I have a few of my thank you cards for this month left. Bright and beautiful. This hibiscus, which I love, is from the Humming Along stamp set. There is also a set of dies to coordinate with the stamps.

They were pretty quick and easy to colour in. I used Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) in Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight.  And for the background around the flower I used Bermuda Bay water colour pencil.
