Wonderful Circles

This card was made using the new Eastern Blooms stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalogue. I used the colours from one of Kristina Werner colour challengers. They are Wild Wasabi, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Rose Red and whisper white. I used the Wonderful Favourites stamp set as well. I think this stamp set is the best valued stamp set in the catalogue.

Bang, Crash, Boom

Sorry but this isn't card related. My poor, poor car. Another car jumped out at mine and this is the result. My car is still at the panel beaters and I really miss it.

More Watercolouring...

Here is a preview of another stamp set that is in the Summer Mini Catalogue. It is the For Father stamp set and I had to have it because I am still loving watercolouring. Card stock colours are Kraft, Wild Wasabi, Ruby Red and watercolouring paper. I also used Stampin' Write markers, Close to Cocoa ink pad and the Sanded background stamp.

Live your Dream

One of my favourite products in the Summer Mini Catalogue is the Afternoon Tea Double Sided Designer Papers, especially the striped paper that I used on this card. The paper co-ordinates with Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip and Groovy Guava and Whisper White. I have also used the Live Your Dreams Stamp set and Chocolate Chip wide grosgrain ribbon.
(There are several cards like this on SCS so it is difficult to work out who should have design credits. I think credit should go to Kay Kalthoff but if you think you are the original designer please feel free to let me know and I can change it.)

Eastern Blooms

I am really enjoying the Eastern Blooms stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalogue and I have used it to make this card. I apologize for using Chocolate Chip and blue yet again. It's the colours I use to get my mojo going again and as you can see from my lack of posts over the last few months, my mojo needed a boost.

I was inspired by a card by Dorothy Cate also known as Smart Blonde_2000 on Split Coast Stampers.

Cards coming soon

The promotions for November are exciting but I know you must be wondering where my card examples have got to. I will post some in the next few days. We have had weeks of drizzle and overcast whether which isn't great for taking photos so I will get busy when the sun comes out. It doesn't feel like spring here at the bottom of the world at the moment.
Of course there are plenty of fantastic blogs listed to the right if you are looking for inspiration.

Stay tuned......

Being Single Never Looked So Good

From the 10th - 30th November, you can purchase single Stampin' Write Markers for only $4.95. These dual end markers feature a fine tip for details and writing and also a blush tip for colouring, watercolouring and inking stamps. This is great for when you want to use several colours on the one stamp. These markers have never been sold separately before and it's great to be able to pick and choose the ones we want.
