Still addINKtive - Spot That Stamp Set - Happy Easter

Happy Wednesday Friends,
Today's post is for Still addINKtive's Spot That Stamp Set and we are to feature any current Stampin' Up! Easter Set. For this card I have used stamp sets that can be adapted in a more traditional sense for Easter, instead of the Everybunny set which is one of the only current Easter sets available at Stampin' Up! here in Australia.  When I used the Framed Tulips E/Folder on my 10.2 x 14.5cm Whisper White card I embossed 3/4 of the card and then turned it around, lined up the embossing and embossed the rest of the Whisper White panel, this gave me just over a centimetre more than the size of the embossing folder. Unfortunately this is my last post for Still addINKtive as Bronwyn and Kathy have decided to close the Challenge Blog due to their other commitments.

 Supplies:

Stamps: S/U's Crosses of Hope, Everybunny, Bloomin' Marvelous, Oh, Hello
Card: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade
Finishing Touches: Pearls
Cool Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix Framed Tulips E/Folder, Sizzix Ovals Collection Framelits, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Sponge, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, 2 Way Glue Pen
Thanks for stopping by today.  I love to hear from you.

Still addINKtive #7 - Butterfly Doily

Hello Friends,
It's Wednesday and it's time for our next challenge at Still addINKtive.  This week we have a sketch and colour challenge using Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Pretty In Pink.
Edited to Add: To join the two doily's I followed a tutorial by Becca Feeken at Amazing Paper Grace here. Becca's card is absolutely stunning and so beautifully made.  I made this card twice because I used the wrong colour originally.  The first one cut much better than the second with this Doily die, not sure if it was my plastic Big Shot sheets that are very worn and warped or the die is not as sharp.

Supplies:

Stamps: S/U's Create a Cupcake, Bliss

Card and Papers: Pretty In Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Vellum, Very Vanilla

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Crumb Cake

Finishing Touches: Rich Razzleberry Taffeta Ribbon, Pearls

Cool Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix Large Paper Doily Sizzlit, Sizzix Beautiful Butterflies, 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Large Oval Punch, Crimper, Sizzix Little Leaves Sizzlit, Mat Pack and Piercing Tool, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, 2 Way Glue Pen

Thanks for popping in today. I love to hear from you.

Still addINKtive Spot That Stamp Set - Secret Garden

Hello Friends,
Today's post is for the Still addINKtive Spot That Stamp Set and this week we are looking at Secret Garden and Hearts a Flutter.  I am trying a new technique which seems to have missed out on a name.  I have found it as White Wash or Colour Wash and I saw a Tutorial by Sandi MacIver here and it was shown to her by Amy Koenders who saw a card by Karen Barber who found it on Pinterest.  It is a fun easy technique to do with Kraft card and the finished colouring is so soft and pretty, one of my new favourite techniques. I used Elegant Eggplant, Summer Starfruit and Baja Breeze for my colours.  I did add extra layers of colour to highlight the flowers, so they had more depth.
