Crazy Card Party...Friends

It looks like there is no challenge at CCP this week...so I made up my own...Friends! That is what Crazy Card Party is all about for me. 

So I played around with my distress inks and markers and came up with this.

Thanks for all the fun and inspiration ladies!

A Bouquet...

I recently got a new stamp set by Stampendous and have been having fun playing with it.

I embossed the mason jar on vellum and the florals on watercolour paper. I had fun colouring them in with my Peerless colours and distress inks.  I stamped the stems directly on the watercolour paper with distress ink and coloured them lightly as well with the ink. I love how the stems look behind the vellum.

I linked up with Simon Says Wednesday challenge...anything goes.

You Tickle My Fancy

Here's another card I made while crafting with my besties recently. I dug out my neglected WPlus9 Fanciful Feathers and Ink Splats sets and had some fun.

I used my favourite technique lately...watercolouring over white embossing. Love how the feathers turned out. Some ink splats and confetti made a cool background.

Hey There

I thought I'd show another card I made while cropping with my friends this past weekend. I embossed a butterfly in white on watercolour paper and coloured it in with Peerless paint. The background is a Moroccan design with paste. 

I linked up with Simon's Monday Challenge..."don't cut just paste!"

Have a great weekend!

Crazy Card Party-- Vintage

This week on Crazy Card Party I want to see something vintage! The idea can mean different things to different people...wine, classic, retro. 

Currently I am in love with vintage pyrex and have collected my first few pieces. So I thought my PTI Bowl of  Sunshine set was perfect.

I embossed three bowls for that authentic shiny look and stacked them up on some classic kraft. Even the sentiment has a vintage feel!

I can't wait to see the vintage vibe over at Crazy Card Party this week!

Celebrate!

I had a great time this past weekend scrapping with my friends. There was a lot of watercolouring going on! That's been my favourite technique lately, especially over white embossing. My Peerless watercolour sheets and my Ranger distress markers have been my favourite media.

I decided to link up with Simon Says Wednesday challenge..."Use your favorites".

Crazy Card Party-- Birds

Well it's for the birds this week at Crazy Card Party, at least according to Kathryn.

I made this card for my father in law's birthday...he loves to watch the birds at his backyard feeders. I embossed the birch trees in white and then rubbed on some inks to make a sort of sun peeking through the forest.

I can't wait to see all the feathered friends that the Party-Ers craft up this week!

Thanks so much-- Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Blog Hop!

I have been having so much fun playing around with watercolouring lately that I thought I would link up with the Pretty Pink Posh blog hop this weekend.

I used my distress markers to watercolour these florals from My Favorite Things. I arranged them in a WPlus9 watering can that I embossed silver. The arrangement is set on a subtle Peerless watercoloured background. Some delicate silver metallic thread and a tiny tag finished it off.

I am looking forward to checking out all the stops on the blog hop and getting lots of inspiration to keep up my obsession with watercolouring!

Crazy Card Party-- Masculine!

This week at Crazy Card Party, Rosanne is asking to see some manliness! Of course I thought of father's day.

I embossed a laurel wreath from a Simon set that had yet to see ink and added a stag head from WPlus9.  I totally stole this design idea from Regs and the gorgeous Christmas card she gave me this year. :)

Can't wait to see what masculine goodness the other Party-Ers come up with this week.

Thank you for you!

Yup I am still making thank you cards! With this cold rainy weather, it is easy to stay in my craft room all weekend!

I had fun playing around with my distress markers and My Favorite Things' Peaceful Wildflowers. I grounded the stems on a background of Peerless watercolour.

I linked up with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge...anything goes.
