Little Meow Birthday Card, Watercolour Pencils and Wink of Stella

Morning all.  Hope everyone is okay this morning.  We've made it to halfway through the week, not long to go to the weekend.  I've been having a go with some different techniques just lately so I'm sharing a card that I have made using Faber Castell Gelatos and Zig Wink of Stella.

The image is from the Little Meow Someone Special stamp set by Docrafts. This has been stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured with watercolour pencils but instead of water I blended the colour using Clear Wink of Stella.

The background is watercolour paper embossed using the Crafters Companion Barkley Embossing Folder - Flowers For You (which was a bargain, I picked this up from one of the hobbycraft shows from the Everycrafts a £1, 12 items for £10 stall).

I then used 3 colours of Faber Castell Gelatos (Watermelon, Snow Cone, Margarita Mix) on the embossed paper and softened and blended the colours using a babywipe.

The cat, flower, pennant and greeting banner have all been cut using Die-namics Blueprints Set #12 and the scallop circle is one of the spellbinders dies.

It doesn't show that well on the photo but the cat and flags have a gorgeous glistening and sparkly effect.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Cuttlebug Mania - use a stamp

Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes

Loves Rubber Stamps Challenge - Use 2 dies

See you soon.....

Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Doodles Card

Good afternoon everyone.   It's been a funny sort of day for me.  There was weekend overtime at work so I was there for seven this morning, about half past nine the fire alarm went off so we were standing outside for half an hour in the cold while this was investigated, then when we finally returned inside the computer system went down so we had to go home....but it does mean tomorrows overtime is cancelled so I get some spare time for crafting that I wasn't expecting.

There is a a new challenge today over at Sweet Stampin' Challenge and the theme this week is Doodles.

Doodles.....this was a challenge for me as I don't really do doodles.... but I think my effort just about covers the theme. 

For my card I have used:

New Urban Stamp - Simply Gorjuss The Fox coloured with copics

DP's are from the Simply Gorjuss paper pack.

My doodles are the lines around the image and on the grey embellishments and the stars in the corners of the image.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge are sponsored this week by The Hobby House
