Crazy Crafter's Blog Hop with Billie Moan

 Welcome back crafty people :)

Today the Crazy Crafter's are hopping with the talented Billie Moan

We are all choosing a project of Billie's to CASE, Copy And Selective Edit.
I have chosen this card of Billies  to CASE.

Here is my card. I apologise for the light quality...The photo's were taken after dark, so the light is a bit harsh, very sorry.

For You

I chose a similar style of layout and used the same colouring tools as Billie did for her card.

I used Touches Of Texture for the images, where as Billie used Penned and Painted for hers..

I love with the whole stamp set, but the cornflower is my go to flower in a pinch and I was so very happy to learn that this was going to be a carry over set.

You can use this set in so many ways. you can water colour with it even without painting or brushes...Just by using the two step stamps and spritzing stamping and spritzing again!

It has it's very own spritz stamp for the control freaks among us (me!) who like an even spritzed effect lol. And...a cute bee plus dragon fly!!!!

And look it even has a lace effect stamp!!

For the colours I chose to use the gorgeous Water Colour pencils..

Don't they have such vibrant colour!!! And you know what, you can layer those colour on top of each other!!!

The water colour pencil layers in the flowers are 

• Pacific Point 
• Bermuda Bay
• Rich Razzleberry
• Basic Grey
• Whisper White

The stems and leaves were coloured with

• Old Olive and
• Daffodil delight

And the bee's with

• Pumkin Pie
• Daffodil Delight and
• Early Esspresso

While I was colouring in my hubby took the children for a motor bike ride :) so I did a quick little FB Live video while I was colouring...You can see that HERE

The sentiment for my card is from the Blooms and Wishes Stamp set.

I added a couple of the cute little bees to help finish this card and then painted them with Clear Wink of Stella..

Blooms & Wishes 'For You' #PPA306 Sketch Challenge from Mary Fish

Blooms & Wishes

'For You'

#PPA306 Sketch Challenge from Mary Fish

My card for today's blog was inspired by this weeks Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge, also the 'Blooms & Bliss' DSP and the 'Blooms &  Wishes' stamp set

I love the soft colours throughout the whole set in the 'Blooms & Bliss' DSP but because of the sketch & what I had in mind I had to balance the colours carefully so as to not over power any particular section of my design.....
I thought I would also add this to my cards made to send for the #frommetoyouwhenyouarefeelingblu in July, to help combat depression.

Here is my card for this weeks challenge

'For You'

#Bloomsandwishes #Foryou #KOCreationscards #PPA306 #Burlapribbon #Giftoflove #frommetoyouwhenyouarefeelingblu

How I made 'For You':

• I chose Thick A4 Whisper White as my Card Base and for the small squares on the front. I made those using the plain layering squares. 
• For the backing I chose Rich Razzleberry to lift that small amount of colour in the DSP to the fore. I also used this colour under the small squares using the scalloped layering square.
• I stamped my flowers in Sweet Sugarplum & Blushing Bride the fussy cut them
• I stamped onto my squares the leaves in Sahara Sand then layed the flowers on top using dimensionals.
• I stamped my sentiment in Rich Razleberry using ink refills spread over a clear stampin block, as for some reason I had the refill but not the stamp pad ....go figure! Hence the sentiment looks a little washed out....I had to stamp off the paper first just to get it that good. Must order that stamp pad! You can see one of the flowers has a different colour also... I tried Wisteria Wonder to see how it would look.
• I layered small pieces of Burlap ribbon under the top two flower squares and a strip under the bottom square running the whole way across.
• I raised the squares on dimensionals  to add a little more depth to the card.
• I fussy cut around the outside sentiment and placed that over the longer strip of burlap ribbon.
• I added Rhinestones to the centre of each flower and also touched up the centres with clear Wink of Stella. Which you can just see in the pictures above.
• I layered my card front onto the base also using dimensionals .... I think I am becoming addicted to Dimensionals!
