Get Well with SUE-B

Good morning to you all and welcome to our latest challenge from us at

CD SUNDAY

This is the last bank holiday for the year and I hope you are enjoying an extended break although as usual the weather is not being kind. It is a sunny here as I type this post but no doubt it will change as the day progresses.

Thanks for your entries in the last challenge, not so many of you but Jocelyn will be choosing her Top 3 and they will be announced shortly.

This week it is the turn of SUE-B and I think she has chosen an easy theme for you.

Sue's choice is 'GET WELL'

We all need this sort of card at times so it is good to have one already prepared.

My DT Design is shown below

RECIPE

6 x 6 Scalloped White Card for the base.

The edges are covered with Pan Pastel Orange Tint

My backing paper is from one of Bearly Mine CD's - Designer Extremes Vol 1 

Using the Orange Section, quite a change for me and I embossed a small piece to go along the middle using a new embossing folder from Cuttlebug - Geometric Rings

I used a Timeless Rectangle Die Cut to stamp my image of

Nasturtium's, a PSX Stamp I have had for a long time.

The image has been coloured using Spectrum Noir Pencils

 Florals No's 6, 7 & 8 and Nature No's 57 & 59

 Glamour Dust to added a bit of sparkle on the flowers

A Satin ribbon and Card Candi completes my design.

I look forward to seeing your creations for our challenge, just remember to use something from a CD in your design and tell us which CD you have used

I added a lovely sentiment to compliment my card.

Thankyou for taking part last week and we look forward to seeing your designs this week.

Rainbow Lady's Blog Challenge 81

Bye the skin of my teeth, here is my entry for Rainbow Ladys challenge this week, which ends tonight.
We were asked to make a card, tag, ATC etc with the theme of a Christmas Carol and you had to use Black Card.
I have been struggling with this theme all week, then I suddenly realised the stamp had been on my desk all week.
Both the back and the grey card are Stardream, the image is a stamp from PSX, one my sister and I share. They stamping was done using Archival Black Ink and a silver peel off added the finishing touch.
I do hope Cynthia thinks it is suitable for her challenge.

More Stamping

Another of my favourite PSX Stamps, A Bunch of Sweet Peas' . The image was stamped with Versafine Onyx, I love this ink pad, then coloured using my Watercolour Pencils. I added a deckle edge border prior to mounting on Lilac card which had been through my Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. In turn this was attached to my card blank which I had covered in paper from Raspberry Road Designs. I think it has something missing to give a finishing touch, however, all the flowers I have are too large, so I decided to leave it as it was. Your comments are appreciated.

Get Stamping Year

As this is the year to 'get stamping again' I sorted through all of my stamps and came across this stamp from PSX entitled 'Morning Glory'

I stamped onto a cream background using Versafine Onyx then coloured the image using a mixture of Permapaque & Lrya Crayons. I didn't think the cream background went well, so I distressed the edges first using Adirondack Denim then decided to carefully add more distressing over the entire card. I added a little sparkle using my Quickie Glue Pen and fine glitter. I don't think this will show up as I scanned my card instead of taking a photo.

The image was mounted onto Silver Mirri before attaching to a 5" x 5" card blank which I had covered with free downloaded paper, courtesy of Jak
