Coloring @ Inspired Stamps

Good mornings all :) 

Being Thursday means it is time for an

Inspired Stamps 
 card :)

This week we were asked to focus on our favourite coloring medium ... 
Being honest, coloring is not one of my favorite things to do so ... 
I thought I would take the challenge and use color to focus and highlight one of my favorite silhouettes stamps from Inspired Stamps - Be Still Silhouettes

To create the spotlighted circle, I used watercolor ink and droplets of water to give the ink texture.

The girls have all been coloring up a storm this week!
So be sure to pop on over to the

Spring @ Inspired Stamps

Mornings dear friends :)
Today, the Inspired Stamps girls and I are
crafting my second favorite season ...

Spring!

I really do love this season for the opportunity of playing with pastel colors and today the mood took me to gorgeous purples and the scripture from the Inspired Stamps, Be Still Silhouettes.

 I am utterly in love with the Stampin Up Square Lattice embossing folder at the moment (craze I am going through lol) and today I have mixed it up with a Spellbinder die from the Amazing Paper Grace kit club.  A few little butterflies from the Ek Sucess Butterfly border punch, a touch of ribbon, flower and some pearls all finished off with a light ink distress. 

I have been very fortunate to have a peak preview at what the girls have made for this week and there is some yummy samples over on the Inspired Stamps Blog, so be sure to head on over and have a looksie too!

Shine your light - Play Time :)

Peek-a-boo people :) 

Popping in quickly to share a card that I had been itching to

 make all week but only tonight got the time to sit and play! 

To help inspire me a little more with the 'Try' the C&S look,

 I am playing along with the adorable color combo theme this week at 

Less is More!

It is a delicious combo that I just could not pass up lol and I think this would have to be my favourite C&S card by far yet!  And Ssshhhh I am really getting a fondness for this style sssshhhh

So here we go .... 

 

 This is the Inspiration pic and colors I played along with. 

Just delicious hey?  See why I just had to play along :)

 

 A side view. 

 Close up of the focal point and sentiment.

 

My camera doesn't do the butterfly justice :( 

 It is coated with clear kindy glitz and just shines and sparkles beautifully. 

I really do love the simple elegance of this card and so happy with myself that I still managed to combine all the things I love with the pearls, ribbon, bling and a little touch of distressing on the butterfly and yet still managed to make it C&S with lots of 'white space'.  

Anyways my good folks, it is way past this Cinderella's bed time as she has to work in the morning so I am going to love and leave you till laters :) 

Thanks for calling past to see me :)

Till next time ....

Scripture @ Inspired Stamps

 Mornings all :)

Wow! The weeks are just flying by! Where does time go?

Here we again on Thursday and I have another

Inspired Stamps 

card to share with you all :)

This week it was free play! Love those! And I thought I would do exactly that ... play!  I have had the adorable Love Is set from Inspired Stamps sitting on the side of my desk itching to be played with since forever.  The verse in this set is just amazing and it is one of my favourites and I really do just adore the last verse of this, so ... today was a play with some masking!

 Love never fails ... I don't know what it is about this line, but my heart just stops, reflects and feels soothed. Again, I am playing around with my style :$  One of my new years resolution was to attempt more C&S cards and really try this style out, I still love the shabby / grunge look and the loads of embellishments though and it always find a way or part way in somehow lol.     

All the girls on the team are sharing creations today so please do drop by
