Spellbinders Fresh Picked Buttercups.

Posted on 19 January, 2024 by Liz

Today I’ve used one of the new flowers from the Fresh Picked Collection (this and all following links are affiliate links) by Spellbinders, these are the Fresh Picked Buttercups. I opted for three different pinks to go with the bright green leaves.

I used one of the arches from the Make a Wish Arch Labels dies set on top of a plain white card base. And then I placed the die cut flowers around the left and top edge of the arch.

Once again, I used one of the Sealed Sentiments and stamped it up in a matching colour. Then I put some enamel dots on as well.

POD Love, Brownie Bear

I have another pencil colouring made into a card today. Meet Love, Brownie Bear by Purple Onion Designs. It’s another great illustration by Pei. Stuck with more of a texture on the bear this time and I absolutely love that he’s a bumble bear! The sentiment is from the Love Sentiment set.

There is a new mini release over at Purple Onion Designs featuring the awesome Pei. I’ve dusted off my pencils for a couple of these and first out we have Flappy’s Lucky Day. My Prismacolor Pencils were loving these cute animals. I then die cut out the panel and used a background paper behind it and a few fun gems. Be sure to check out this fun new collection of rubber stamps!

Let’s have another photo as well:

Spellbinders another Dragon

Posted on 13 January, 2024 by Liz

I’ve made another card with the fun new Spellbinders (this and following links are affiliate links) Dancin’ Dragon! Unlike the dragon on the previous card, this one isn’t actually dancing. He is still happy, though! When I die cut the parts for the dragon I did all the parts in a few different colours so I could put together more than one. It is such a great way to quickly make cards in the future, if you just have a ready-made dragon laying in wait!

The base of the card has its shape from the largest of the Make a Wish Arch Labels dies. I used the second biggest on the previous card, but here I wanted a fun shape.

I stamped up one of the Sealed Sentiments in a matching colour and then I put some enamel dots around as well to bring in the greens a bit more.

Time for some pencil colouring! I’ve used Caran d’Ache Luminance pencils on craft card stock. The stamp is from the set Friends Give the Best Hugs (this and all links affiliate links) from the most recent Picket Fence Studios release. And once again I’ve used a sentiment from the Surprise! It’s Your Day set. The card has been kept simple and the coloured and stamped panel is put on a white card base with a simple striped paper in between and some sequins on top.
