This is my take on the challenge.

Tweetheart card

I used this cute 3D Chickie sticker from Doodlebug on my card. The panel is made using watercolour paper on which I sponged Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio distress inks. I then spattered clear water and blotted them. Then sprayed with fine clear shimmer. I die cut this panel using the largest of the Stitched Rectangle die from Simon.

And to add more interest, I used the Heart Breeze die from Simon Says Stamp to die cut on the panel. The sentiment is from Springtime Critters stamp set from Simon Says Stamp stamped with Simon's Intense Black Ink.. I felt the sentiment was perfect with the cute chickie sticker. I them simply adhered the chickie sticker on top of the sentiment  and added a few Doodlebug Beetle Black Sprinkles.

I stamped the image from Newton's Nook stamp set using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink  and copic coloured the image. Then I hand cut the image out.

On the card front, I stamped the shelves and filled them with books, clock and boxes. I stamped them using Simon Says Stamp Hot Lips, Doll Pink, Jelly Bean, Sunshine, Fern and Stone dye inks. I used Cup O Joe Hero Arts Ink for the some of the books and pots. I used MISTI tool to stamp my images.

I adhered the hand cut copic colored image on the bottom centre of the card front using foam adhesive. Then grounded the sofa using Copic markers in Cool Grey. The sentiment is from the Newton's Nook stamp set stamped using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black ink.

Winnie & Walter Cutaway release day #3


Hey everyone, 

Today is day #3 of Winnie & Walter Cutaway release! I am show casing coordinating Cutaway for In Bloom: Lola's Banquet stamp set. Here is the stamp set and the Cutaway.

In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet with Joni Andaya In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet with Joni Andaya Cutaways

I adore this stamp set and was thrilled to see the coordinating cutaway released for this set. The best this is every image on the stamp set has coordinating cutaway for it including the layering images. How cool is that? I LOVE it. I have a card showcasing the new cutaway.

Hey girl friend card #1

I pretty much stamped all the images from the stamp set on white cardstock panels using five different colours. Two shades of green, pink, yellow and blue. MISTI is perfect to do this. I adhered all the stamps on MISTI door and stamped all the images twice to get even coverage. I have used Altenew inks here. Then I used the coordinating cutaways and  die cut all the images out. Now I have heap of  die cut to use.

Hey girl friend closeup!

To assemble the card, I die cut the In a Word: Friend cutaway using gold glitter cardstock and adhered in the middle of the card front. I then clustered glued the die cuts in various colour combinations on the top left and bottom right of the sentiment die cut. I have so many die cuts left that I can make atleast three more cards out of them. Saves so much preparation time for the next card. Then I stamped the smaller sentiment from Bubble Talk stamp set on to a strip of white cardstock, trimmed the edges and adhered. Finally embellished with sparkly clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Hey girl friend flat #1

Hope you like my card. I love floral clusters and this one is special. All the new Cutaways are available for purchase at Winnie & Walter store.
