Beauty and the Bee

 Afternoon,

I'm taking a break from my DT samples to blog a card made with one of the stamps that the fabulous Jamie Rodgers has been playing with on Create and Craft today.

I love these amazing stamps from Designer Boutique under the umbrella of Creative Expressions, and I think this one might be one of my favourites. UMSDB034 Beauty and the Bee.

I stamped and embossed the large floral image on to a piece of blue cardstock and then coloured it in using the Summer Garden Iridescent watercolour paint pallet.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the set onto pale blue card using gold embossing powder and then fussy cut round it.

You've still got one last chance to catch the show at 8pm tonight,. It is well worth it as Jamie's demos are always brilliant.

Have a great evening.

Stay safe and hugs

Kimx

Day 2 of the Craft Challenge at Creative Expressions - Flowers

Morning All,
Another lovely sunny day. I've been for my walk, and done my good deed for the day. Shopping for a friend who is in self isolation.
So here we are on Day 2 of Creative Expressions Fun Craft Challenge, and today it's Flowers.

Once again I searched through my boxes of cards to find these ones to share with you.

This one was stamped and embossed in gold on black card stock using a Jane Gill design for Woodware called Daisy Chain. Once I had painted it, I ran it through my embossing machine using a lovely leafy embossing folder and added a little bit of Gilding Wax.

Jane loves her flowers, as do I, so as you can imagine it was rather a hard task to decide which set of cards to share with you.

This one was created in a similar manner, only this time I stamped and embossed in black on cream card.

 I added the small strip of card that I trimmed from my panel and then added a sentiment and a couple of tiny fussy cut flowers.

My final card today uses the single flower from the same set.

I just stamped and embossed it twice in black and then added some ground using a fine black micron pen.

I watercoloured the image using inks.
I hope that you will feel inspired to join us today over at Creative Expressions. I know that Jamie has already added a video to give you some inspiration, so I'll see you there.
Stay safe and Happy Crafting.
Hugs Kimx
