Green Rocket Bling: RIC#50, CTS#58, P4P#228

I love the colours in the latest Runway Inspired Challenge, my only problem was I needed a little boys card and my mind kept showing me beautiful white embossed flowers. (Must see if I can do this before the challenge ends!) I stamped the rocket from Waltzingmouse Stamps Half Pint Heroes and used the shades of green, a little grey and white enamel found in the inspiration photo to colour. To highlight Jack's age I stamped the 5 in Memento New Sprout ink and brushed clear Wink of Stella over it. I also added some onto the light green on the  rocket to mimic the sheen of the fabric, plus some Star Dust Stickles to the rocket's plume. My port hole is covered in a copious amount of Glossy Accents and ringed with white enamel to mirror the sunglasses in the photo. I have used CAS(E) this sketch #58 for my card layout.

As usual at this time of year, natural daylight is in short supply and all my glittery bling appears quite understated. I assure you the card shines bright to the naked eye. I captured a little of it from the Stickles, Glossy Accents and enamel. However the Wink of Stella has remained elusive to the camera lens!

Lawnscaping Winter Blog Hop 2013

Welcome from Lisa's fabulous blog! 

I hope you enjoy my winter card that I have created for my first hop with Lawnscaping Challenges! I'm really looking forward to the gorgeous creations to be seen along the hop. If you want to start at the beginning so as not to miss out on all the fun go to the Lawnscaping Challenges Blog.

This card has gone through many revisions and I've finally gone with the less is best approach and removed all my extra snowy hills. I love the crisp line of the sledding slopes against the distressed ink snowy sky. Blue and orange may not be the first colour combination you think for a winter card, but this one has a special recipient in mind who's favourite colour is orange!

The bunny is on a spring so my little one can have some fun when he opens his card. Unfortunately the gloomy winter sky over Ireland didn't allow the camera to catch the lovely sparkle provided by the Wink of Stella glitter brush on the bunny's scarf.

I've coloured the gem using a Mandarin Flexmarker to match the scarf.

Next is Sabine's wonderful blog.

Lawn Fawn Tag

I've just received the Winter Bunny stamp and die, and I love it! Keeping the bunny & sled white with just a little grey shading and sliver metal work make this tag quick to produce in bulk. I've created my own distress ink background, using some trees from the Peace Love Joy stamp set, for Winter Bunny to whiz through. A smattering of  glitter and a splash of glimmer mist add a lovely shine to the background. Wink of Stella on the scarf, fabulous Lawn Fawn sequins and gold sparkle cord finish the tag.

10 Minute Craft Dash

This is such a great challenge and preparation is the key! My stamps were on their blocks, all my tools, inks and cardstock were laid out, my sketch was ready and just the pop dots might hold me back (and the embossing and the glittering).  As I peeled my last back off and popped my layer down on the card I had under 2 minutes to add my glitter. My final time was 9 minutes 51.12 seconds. Yay!
