Trio of Enduring Beauty

 This trio of cards were made with SU Enduring Beauty.

DSP as the background, added a die cut cover plate,

and used a stencil (bokeh, lots of circles) to add colour to the floral diecut

Next, used a strips of paper, coloured stamped die cut with blend pens,

and added die cut sentiment.

Lastly, stencilled background, frame of cardstock overlaid, 

then watercoloured the flowers.

Hope you’re having a good weekend

Spotlight on Enduring Beauty

 This one is based on the spotlight technique.

Stamped the flowers to cover the front, die cut a circle,

coloured it with blends, layered it up on some Lemon Lolly card.

Sentiment white on black, with die cut leaves tucked behind, and added gems.

Enduring Beauty

 Today’s card was an attempt at watercolouring.

I enjoyed the process, but wish I’d used different colours, 

and watercolour paper instead of white cardstock.

The die cuts the whole arrangement, but I felt it needed something else, 

so I used a circle stencil to ink a background.

A few sequins for added sparkle

Hope you have a lovely day

More lovely layers

 I made some more cards using the layering stencils of Enduring Beauty,

and some more stencilled backgrounds with the shimmery paste…

The weather has been so dismal but here’s hoping for brighter days very soon!

I walked in the pouring rain to our mobile library that visits the village once a fortnight.

The books all have thick plastic covers, but I took extra plastic bags just in case!

It’s a marvellous service, and I’m trying to persuade 

as many of my local book loving friends as possible to join in. 

You know what they say…..use it or lose it…!

Layering stencil

Hello again, I hope this finds you well.

I’ve managed to find time for a play with Enduring Beauty again (SU).

I’m sharing two cards today.

I’m loving layering stencils to colour in the stamped image,

it makes it quicker and easier……although I like colouring in too…..

but this gives a different look.

I’d also found some backgrounds I made ages ago, with glittery embossing paste.

I used some of the ink to add a bit of colour to the label.

This card uses peach, yellow and green, which fits the 

Challenge #781Color Throwdown colour challenge.

For this one I used highland Heather and a pink, using the same pink for the stencilled background.

As I’ve used quite a few stencils, I’m taking this to the Just us Girls challenge#715

Have a peaceful Sunday

Enduring Beauty

 Hi there, today I’m sharing a card using Enduring Beauty, SU.

Allsorts challenge #766 is a bingo, I used stencil, twine, flowers.

I used an SU mask for the background, and to ink the flowers.

Gems were added to the flower centres.

We Love Stamping asked for Romance….I think it’s romantic, but anything goes.

The Flower Challenge #88 is add a heart,

I added three teeny ones, coloured with a blend pen to coordinate.

My NBUS Challenge #59 is for anything new,

and this is the first outing for this set of stamps, masks and dies.

I hope you have a good day
