ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

I got a chance to play with the new Spiral Flower Die today (release date 28th January).  A bit of sponging on the petals and the addition of Crystal Effects for the dew drops, just brings this paper rose to life ( Cherry Cobbler Card Stock ). A little easel style card was created using one of the gorgeous Chalk Talk Stamps and matching Framelits ( White Embossing Powder on Basic Black Card Stock ). It would make a very classy place card for a wedding don't you think? The leaves were stamped in Garden Green ( Fabulous Florets ) and fussy cut. A Vintage Faceted Designer Button was attached with a glue dot to prop up the easel.  I can see that this new Spiral Flower Die will certainly be getting a work out from me.    For Stampin' Up! ® supplies, 24/7, make sure you check out my on-line shop - 

Here's another idea from day 2 of CAS Card Making Online Classes. It was all about making one layer cards. This technique is from Jennifer McGuire and you can see the original inspiration, HERE . The background polka dots have been white embossed and each image has been coloured in with my new Prisma pencils. This is my first attempt at colouring onto Kraft card stock (Crumb Cake). I think I prefer blending on white. What do you think? Any tips for the novice?

Lil Molly's Flowers (Annabelle Stamps) (Not exactly a perfectly flat card as I mucked up the sentiment) Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your comments and often repay the visit.

JAI 96 - CASEing Tania Gould We have a fun challenge over at Just Add Ink this week. Our fellow team member, Tania Gould from Time For Me; Time For You is being CASED. Pop on over to her blog, check out some of the gorgeous projects she has made and choose something that inspires you, CASE it, then enter it into our 96th challenge at JAI. The card I made says this is 'Tania' because it has a rolled rose (although this one is felt), it has shades of purple , the En Francais background stamp, crochet trim , the bird punch leaves , confetti white card stock and two stamps that I know are on her wish list. Plus, I actually scrunched up the card stock - something I don't like doing but Tania loves to!! ;) The easel part is a 'Bronwyn' add on. Obviously, it's not a direct CASE but inspired by 'her' 'twilight' card below - I made this card last year at one of our 'stamping' nights. Tania taught a few of us how to make a rolled...
