Cute Card

Well I finally managed a 'Cute Card' !!!!! Thanks to Kym who supplied the raw stamped image (I had no cute stamps of my own). Yes I know it's the same stamp as Kym's but at least I did it !!!! I used Lyra Aquacolour and brush to colour in the image and finished it with 3D Clear Gloss Finish from Anita's (not really noticeable from the pic). Applied a 'Thank You' stamp in black Stazon then double matted this on mauve and pink card and edged the inner mat with Wisteria Colobox Chalk Ink. I used a mauve textured card and stamped the edges with a posy stamp usng the same ink before applying the mat.

Pile of Friends - Cute Challenge

mmmmmmm, I've started myself down a dangerous road - cute and cuddly stamping - and I'm having fun.

Details of supplies, etc., can be found on my Blog.

Cute Challenge

In case some of my fellow members have got the impression that I love to set challenges, but never take part, this is a quick upload of the partly completed "cute" challenge that I set recently.

Basically, the challenge was to do something "cute" if you usually go for arty look, and vice versa.

This is wayyy off my usual choice, but have to say that I really enjoyed the challenge - and used a stamp that my Daughter bought me for Xmas a couple of years ago, and hadn't even been inked.

Whether it's the fact that I now have Dave (the Cricut) and can cut a scallop without effort, or the fact that I enjoyed the colouring, I think I will be doing the cute look again.

It's not the best colouring/blending in the world, but I feel that I could do better with practice.

Now, I fancy some of the fabulous cute mice images I've seen around.

Stamp: Penny Black - Basket of Joy (2075)

Inks: Sakura Stardust and Marvy Makers

Other: Cricut Mini Monograms for scallop, Basic Grey Lilly Kate "Parasol"

I'm going to try to finish the card off tomorrow.
