Surprise Holiday Release!

Hello there :)

Surprise Surprise!! There's another new release from DoveArt Studios available right now at C.C. Designs   A few of the Design Team girls have put some cards together to inspire and tantalize you.

I have made two projects today, one card and one Scrapbook page using two of the NEW Rubber Stamps - Golf Clubs & Tee Border and one from the last release Brick Wall Background.

Project 1. Golf Clubs and Brick Wall Background Card.

I made this card with my Step Dad in mind as I'm sure he spends more time in the Club House then on the golf course lol. Lots of fussy cutting for this one, but I think it's worth it.

I had the pleasure of colouring up the gorgeous Gazebo Overlook stamp twice!

Here is the first one I coloured, a night scene, which I was so happy with until I decided to fussy cut it and yep you guessed it I accidentally cut off some of the edges so I made the best of what I had and cut it into a rectangle, which isn't bad but not my idea look.

The second one I coloured, a daytime scene, looks much nicer in real life, the photo doesn't do it justice.

Mountain Song

Hi all,

Andrea here today to share this card I made using the gorgeous New stamp 'Mountain Song' it just oozes tranquility so the sentiment 'Life is Beautiful' from the 'Perfectly Beautiful sentiments stamp' was a perfect match for this card.

Unfortunately I don't have a list of Copic marker colours to share with you this time, sorry. 

I stamped the image three times and chose to only colour the one and pop it up on top of the other two.  I love how it turned out.

Gardener's Card.

Hello,

I'm sharing a card today I have made for my step Dad, as I coloured the image I found myself thinking of him and how much he loves gardening so I'll be sending this one to him just because he is such a good man that I love dearly.

Garden Bench

As you can see I used a LOT of markers for this image and a couple of polychromos pencils. The style of this card went through many changes from straight out CAS to an easel card then finally after all that colouring I decided to chop it into three and create this fancy fold screen card and I'm very happy with it :)

The Garden Bench stamp was a delight to colour.

Bye for now
