Today, Im playing along again with the team over at Fab Friday. Its a colour challenge this fortnight. Here is the inspiration for the week;

And, here is the card I came up with;

Im not sure if you can tell, but the fish is behind a window sheet - the inspiration was looking through a porthole of a ship and seeing a fish (thats my story and I'm sticking to it - #lol).

I used the 'Word Window' punch, the 'Bitty Banners' framelit, 'Softly Falling' textured embossing folder and the 'And Many More' stamp set for the Sentiment.

Below, I have included an image with the colour used on this card;

Fab Friday #74

6:51:00 PM

Hello and thanks for stopping by.

Today, Im playing along with the Fab Friday challenge blog. When I first saw the sketch, I had a clear vision - what it ended up is not particularly what I had in mind. But, nonetheless, Im happy with the result. So, here is the image for the challenge;

And, here is the card I created;

I have been dying to use this stamp set and I plan to use it again in the near future. In fact, my goal is to use EVERY stamp set that Kylie and I own - yes EVERY SINGLE ONE! Enough about that....

Background

I really like the sketch. I followed that pretty closely in terms of the bottom 2 layers.

Caravan

This is VERY cool. I embossed in white on watercolour paper and went to town. Im still mastering the art of watercolouring - I think the balance of water and ink is key. Watch this space for improvements.....

Colour

Im a real fan of delightful dijon. I picked this colour because I love the piece of Designer Series Paper from the Bohemian range. Again, I love the striped paper ..... as you can see by how many times I have used it this week.

Fab Friday (on a Tuesday) #73

6:19:00 PM

Today, Kylie showed me another blog that I could play along with - the Fab Friday Challenge Blog. Here is the inspiration for the week;

And, here is the card that I came up with;

Stamped Image

I have liked the stamp set since it was released but never quite had the right card to use it on. And, using it to highlight the three colours was perfect. I used Versamark and then carefully pressed the images directly into the stamp pad and then used the sponge daubers to blend together. Of course, the stamped image was completed with a clear emboss over. The image below shows it a little clearer.

Unfortunately, this set has now retired. In my mind, I was using the 'Another Thank You' set. So, I used this set by accident (it was after midnight). But, I think that the 'Another Thank You' set would work perfectly.

Designer Series Paper

Just yesterday, I said to Kylie 'I haven't used DSP in AGES.' And, I hadn't. I was just going to mount this card on a piece of Old Olive over a piece Rich Razzleberry and then another piece of Old Olive over the Rich Razzleberry card. But, I thought Id have a quick look through the DSP collection and found this piece from the "Into the Woods" set which has both. It is a perfect accompaniment to the stamped image.

I was going to make the card smaller to fit the stamped image, but I decided to mount the sentiment off-centre so the DSP could get some extra loving.

Embellishments

Ill tell you a secret - there was a slight imperfection with the stamped image between the 'o' and the 'f.' But, I loved the way the colours blended together. So, I decided that I would press ahead with the image. The embellishment covers the imperfection (mostly). I added a few others so it didn't look odd.
