Winterly Treetops – Color Fusers Blog Hop – Dec 2024

When I first saw this colour challenge, I thought I was going to struggle, but as soon as I saw the Winterly Treetops stamp set I knew that was going to be the one for this challenge. The birds look brilliant coloured in Misty Moonlight I think, especially with the colour lifter on their bellies and heads. I absolutely love colouring with my Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers, and those are exactly what I reached for to colour these gorgeous images from the Winterly Treetops stamp set. I love how clean and clear the images stamped in Memento Black Ink and […]

Humble Home Christmas Card – Creativity Abounds Blog Hop Oct’ 24…

Hello and welcome to the Creativity Abounds Blog Hop, and my Humble Home Christmas Card. We are focussing on all things holiday from the new Stampin’ Up! Sep – Dec Mini Catalogue and as soon as I saw this set I knew it was for me… a gorgeous house to colour in AND a punch? I’m sold! There’s a bit of a divide in the Stampin’ Up! world between those who love Real Red for their Christmas makes and who loves Cherry Cobbler. I personally flit between the two each year dependent on which DSP, embellishments and ribbons we have […]

Country Birdhouse – Color Fusers Blog Hop – Oct 2024…

Now, this project might not be what you are expecting when you see the colour combination that the Color Fusers are working with this month, it really wasn’t my favourite (that is a huge understatement) but I brought in the trusty Country Birdhouse bundle, added some flowers and made it my own. If you read on I’ll share how I got such light and delicate colours, and also how I managed to create a mix of browns and greys from just three colours. It’s all down to the beauty of colour mixing! I am not a fan of Wild Wheat […]

Hello and welcome to this month’s Stamptastic Friend’s Blog Hop where we are CASEing another Stamptastic Friend and I have made this card using the gorgeous Season of Green and Gold suite from Stampin’ Up!

The papers, dies and stamps all work so perfectly together. This card is a book fold card so I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and […]

Colours of Autumn – Color Fusers Blog Hop – Sep 2024…

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, and this hop, where this month we are featuring some lovely colours of autumn. This is not one of my favoured colour palettes but I must say I was pleased with the result in the end! As soon as I saw the browns and yellows here I immediately thought of leaves, the range of amazing colours that we get through Autumn (or Fall) always delights me, so what better set to work with than the lovely Spotlight on Nature.
