Wplus9 Unforgettable

I received my Simon Says Stamp order yesterday which included the absolutely wonderful set by Wplus9! I have riding on an elephant on my bucket list so all of these really sweet elephants go into my basket right away! I actually made this card for a friend who is frustrated at work lately, here is hoping it will cheer her up!  It is anything goes this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday blog challenge, I will submit this one :)

Inspired by the runway...

Nice quiet Sunday, Gym, groceries, a visit with my parents and time in my craft space while I wait for the Montréal Canadiens playoff game! What an excellent way to end the weekend! I am submitting this one to the Runway Inspired Challenge #82. I just love the black and gold on the dress and for those of you that follow my blog, you will remember that I am pushing myself with watercolour more and more.  I find it difficult so I am pushing my competitive self into using it more!  I used the Gansai Kuretake 36 set, I hope that's right it's all written in Japanese! I am bilingual but Japanese really isn't one of them Lol!

Products used:

Gansai Kuretake 36 watercolour set - Black and Gold paint

Tim Holtz watercolour paper

Mama Elephant Make a Wish stamp set

Gold embossing powder 

PPP sequins

Thanks for taking the time!

Sketch Challenge

Lawnscaping is holding a sketch challenge this month. Sketches are a challenge for me, someone's else's vision is difficult to properly interpret. I changed the layout only slightly as I felt it better represented the design and stamps I chose.  

For anyone that follows my blog, you all know how much I love Lawn Fawn products. For some reason Critters Down Under is one that I still love to use. Maybe it's the fact that Australia is on my bucket list to visit and that I am a huge animal person. I just find Lawn Fawn Critters such fun. The parrot is from the new Critters in the Jungle set. I liked his size for this card.

Lawn Fawn stamps and dies:

Critters Down Under, Critters in the Jungle and Chit Chat (speech bubble)

Lawn Fawn stitched rectangles

Various enamel dots

Copics

Zing White embossing powder

Thanks for taking the time!

Kraft and Prismacolor pencils

I made a card over the weekend for the Casual Fridays challenge featuring Kraft, flowers and twine. I just loved the Prismacolor effect on the Kraft cardstock that I decided to try another featuring one of my favorite Penny Black stamps. I will submit this one to the Casuals Fridays challenge as well!

Hero Arts w/OWH Baby Animals!

I ordered this stamp set in January and it finally became available! Waited impatiently for it for three months that's what living in Québec does! Couldn't wait to try this set, modelled the dog after my Duffy! I have been catching up on making cards for some dear friends that live way too far!

Mama Elephant Sweet Havana

So I am trying to play a little more with watercolour. It really isn't my comfort zone so I have pushing myself to do projects with different watercolour products.  I made this one using distress markers which I do find offers me a little more control... The new abandoned coral colour is one of my favourites in the line so that was my starting point. This Sweet Havana set by Mama Elephant is also one of my favourites to work with and I, again, used my new MFT dies and an assortment of PPP sequins.

Thanks for taking the time!
