Welcome to the Blog hop.-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:--:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-‹(•¿•)›

Hello and Welcome to my Blog, I hope you're enjoying your hop around tour. How gorgeous are these new sets in our Summer mini !!! I have really enjoyed being part of the ESAD yahoo group and as I said in my previous post we all have a lot of fun sharing ideas and tips to improve our Stampin'Up! know how. ESAD stands for Extra Special Australian Demonstrators, if you think you would like to join in the fun and you are a Stampin'Up! demonstrator in Australia, all you have to do is click on this button: Click to join ESAD-SU

Now onto my projects...

Lucky Duck...

This card has been made with the really cute set called ' Wagon Full Of Fun ' I have used my ink pads and Aqua brush to colour this little duck in, I also used a sponge to colour the edges of the water colour paper which has been distressed with the cutter kit distressing tool. The Bashful Blue taffeta ribbon is accented with the 'Lucky Duck' label which has been punched out with the Word window punch and tied on with some 'Linen thread', I used the same thread to sew a cross in the top left hand corner. The designer paper is from the 'Tea Party' pack found in the main catty. The background on the 'So Saffron' card stock is done with the 'Reto mix' wheel in SoSaffron ink. I've added a bit of bling to the duck's ribbon with a two way glue pen and some gorgeous 'Dazzling diamonds. Cardstock used was: So Saffron, Bashful Blue and Water colour paper. Inks used were So Saffron,Basic Brown, Bashful Blue, Pink Pirouette (for cheek), Creamy Caramel and Apricot Appeal.

For Everything Stamp set.....



For this watering can I have used the set called 'For Everything'. All the little images in this set are simply adorable and really fun to colour in with the Stampin'write markers, I used Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Barely Banana, Almost Amethyst and Apricot Appeal markers. I also used the Eyelet border punch for the lace look around the bottom and on the spout. The ribbon is Whisper white 1/4" grosgrain. Ink pads used were Regal Rose (for the little flowers) Pretty in Pink (for the So Swirly wheel), Lavender Lace and Certainly Celery. Cardstock used was Whisper white and Pink Pirouette. I used a White Signo gel pen to highlight some areas of the wheeled image. I hope you like these projects.
