CAS Penny Black "Serene" Card

I am loving making these clean and simple cards.  It makes a nice change from all the fussy backgrounds.  This one was a very quick make, but it says what's needed "Hang in there"!

For this card, I stamped the background first, using the Lavinia Stamps "Texture 1" stamp, stamping off the edge using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink.

I then stamped the Penny Black flourish, which is part of their "Serene" stamp set, along with the Simon Says Stamp sentiment from their "Tiny Words - Encouragement" both in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

 

Sweet Poppy "Blissful" Stencil three ways

Today I have made three items using the same Sweet Poppy "Blissful" stencil. They are all quite different so I decided to show them all together.

The top left has a folk art feel where I've used a gel plate background.

The bottom left has a fresh clean and simple look to it, with stamping in Archival Inks.

For the tag on the right I have heat embossed both the stencil image and the sentiment.

Design Team Make - 30th November 2018 (CAS one layer) My Time To Craft Challenge

It's time for another "My Time To Craft Challenge".  The prompt for this challenge is "Clean & Simple - one layer". Please do pop over and check out the other fab makes by the other Design Team members.

For my Design Team make for this challenge, I used a sentiment stamp from Visible Image called "She Smiled" and a butterfly stamp from IndigoBlu called "Flutterby".  I also used a Stampin' Up stamp set called "Gorgeous Grunge" for the background speckles.  All these were stamped in Versafine Clair Ink in the "Fantasia" shade.

I coloured part of the butterfly with an "Amethyst" coloured Promarker and a gold metallic pen.
