It's Word Week with a B at Just Us Girls

Hi there and Welcome.

Today's post is of course for

Just Us Girls 'cause it's Saturday.

I am Hosting this week and it's

Word Week - I chose

BOLD!

As you can see I went Bold with Bright Colours.

Once again my Brusho's came out for the background.

I stenciled my floral image with white texture paste

mixed with orange acrylic paint.

This was cut from a stitched die as was the orange

background paper.

Added a gem to the middle of the flower

also some orange Nuvo Drops to the background.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations 

and cut from a MFT die.

It's a new month which means we have a 

New Guest Designer - Talented Karren Johnson

from Stamping Stuff 

Welcome Karren - lovely to have you join us.

That's it for me. Now pop over and see what

Karren and the Jugheads have boldly created

and come join us in our Gallery this week.

Thanks for dropping in

We are 'Focusing on Sentiments' for April at STAMPlorations.

Time is just flying by and now April is here!

Hi and Welcome to today's post.

It is all about Focusing on Sentiments over at

STAMPlorations

Checkout all the details Here

I thought the STAMPlorations Large Hellinium 

was 'Simply Gorgeous' so used that as part of my card.

To start with the background I inked white card stock

all over with Tim's Peacock Feathers

sprayed it with water then placed my

ARTplorations Ethnic Organic One on top

lifting that to take a bit of colour away

then placing it back to add

Tim's Mermaid Lagoon for a bright effect.

It was slightly damp when I heat embossed the

Large Hellinium (sorry it is out of stock)

with Lawn Fawn White Embossing Powder

and some stuck to the stenciling which

I was kinda happy with the effect.

I then added the heat embossed 'simply' sentiment

STAMPlorations Bold Sentiments Gorgeous

cut out my 

CUTplorations Gorgeous Die

and heat embossed it also to blend in.

Finished with corner rounding

attaching it to my white card base.

That's it for my part

BUT

there is so much more to see over at

Our Blog

Off course there are prizes to win so 

don't forget to leave a comment here

for your chance to be a winner...

and why not create something

with your sentiment as your focal point

and add it to the Gallery.

It's Out of My Bits Box with Something New!

Hi there and Welcome! It's a bit dreary here today so

perfect time to show you what I was playing with yesterday.

The new challenge over at the

CAS Watercolour Blog is Live 

and the element we need to use is BIRD.

I rummaged through my bits box

to see what I could find - just in case

there was something there and I didn't need to

make a new watercolour background.

Yay! I was in luck as I found this

 perfect little piece of 

 Brusho Watercoloured Canvas.

Just the right size to heat emboss my 

new not out of the packet stamp

from STAMPlorations called

Bloomtanged ATC #1

Now I am not a colour - in - er type but knew this would 

look amazing behind my type of  colouring -

Watercolour Backgrounds.

I only had to cut a smidgen off my canvas colour

and added it to a sticky background for support

and onto white card stock.

I then got out my Wow Metallic Platinum

Embossing Powder. That was the easy part.

Now just how many bird stamps do we have?

That was the hard part - trying to find

just the right one. After several attempts

I found the one -  from SU. 

Inked up with Memento Sweet Plum,

adding some Nuvo Glitter Gloss and fussy cutting.

She was slightly popped then I added a coloured mat.

This was popped onto Metallic Sculptured card stock.

This was also used as my base.

The simple sentiment is from SU and

finished off my card.

Here is a close up 

I have a watercoloured background, adding heat embossing,

stamping and my BIRD!

I am dropping this card over to the

Creative With Stamps Challenge as it is 

CAS + Sentiment

Happy 2nd Anniversary.

and Pink and Main

for their Spring Themed Challenge

Thanks for dropping in today.

Till next time - Cherrio from

A Splash of Fabulous Colours

Hi there and Welcome to today's post for

Happy Little Stampers.

It's time for our Anything Goes Watercolour Challenge

and our Optional Twist is 'Rainbow'

Rainbow colours scream Brusho's to me 

and that is exactly what I used for my background

on white card stock with a stitched die.

Added splotches of iridescent medium for some shimmer.

Sentiments are from MFT and fabulous die is CUTplorations.

Added this to the black card base.

Pop over to Our Blog to see lots more

Hope you get time to play this month 

and I see yours in our Gallery.
