A splash of colour


Note added: Blogger seems to be on one today, this post showed on my reading list at the scheduled time of 8am but the link went to an error message. Seem to have it part sorted but not able to upload the missing photos which I had added last night.

Morning Peeps, time for our mind month inspiration posts at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are 'Favourite Colours' and 'Add some Sparkle'. Prizes this moth come from AALL and Create and Highlight Crafts

At the top a bit of inky indulgence, not any one specific colour but I do like bold and bright so the blend here works for me. First I stamped AALL and Create Blooming Poppies, well part of it as it's a huuuuuuge A4 stamp, added masking fluid to the entire image an then used several colours of Distress Oxide ink and sprays to create a bold background. A little bit of script stamped and embossed with detail white EP along with a sentiment from my Moments stamp set, some shire flicks of marker pen, then rubbed away the masking fluid and left the image uncoloured.

Bold purples for this one which was a sample for yesterdays Oakwood Create and Craft shows. An MDF tag, Cadence acrylic pains and crackle glaze and some of the new stamps in the show along with the stamps and dies from the Rose Garden collection. There's a new video on my own and the Oakwood YouTube channels making this one.


My SS piece uses Highlight Crafts Vintage Inc Tulips and Cadence gold Gilt, I simply stamped the image onto black cardstock with Versamark, added details gold EP, then spritzed the Gilt around the edges. The sentiment is from my Beleive stamp set.

Blogger talvolta fa strani scherzi, e fa ammattire abbastanza, ma sono contenta di vedere che hai risolto. Spero che sia tutto ok per Daisy.
Che dire, la tua prima card è un tripudio di colori, così solari e vibranti, davvero un'esplosione di positività e i fiori non colorati risaltano così bene. I tuoi sentiment aggiungono ancora più interesse! La adoro! Il mio masking fluid deve aver sofferto il caldo questa estate, non si toglie più, è inutilizzabile.
Bellissima anche la card nei toni del viola, anche questa così vibrante e adoro lo sfondo crackle e il pizzo/il fiocco, danno un tocco davvero femminile!
L'ultima card ha davvero un look importante in nero e oro, elegantissima! Il tuo sentiment è molto vero, bellissimo!!
Abbracci, buona serata!

I love that you left the poppies white - so effective and I want to try that now! A4 is a huge stamp though.
Beautiful tag with the fab purple roses and your last card looks like a foil picture - very effective.

Lisa said...

Amazing colors on your card! That is a wonderful way to add color to a card but not actually color an image and it really gives the card a whole new look.

Sarn said...

Wow - all three pieces are amazing but that first card is extra fab with the lush colours. So vivid. Xxx
