Changing Tree...

Hi there! Hope you have all had a lovely weekend :)

I am popping in tonight to show you a couple more of the cards I have made using the wonderful 'Changing Tree' and 'Bunting' stamp sets which have been released recently by Little Claire's - I love both of these stamp sets :) The changing tree allows you to build your own scene using all the various elements included.

For this first card I used the stamp set to create a wedding tree. The sentiment is from the very useful 'Save the Date' set which allows you to put different numbers within the sentiment stamp. The image is coloured with ProMarkers, cut out and then stuck on the cardbase, which has been inked with blue ink. I then covered the edges of the die cut circle with buttons in various shades of blue. I have added small gems to the tree & sentiment to finish off :)

This time I created a music tree with the stamp set, and used the bunting set  for the sentiment :) I have coloured the image with ProMarkers, and die cut it using Nestabilities. The papers are from First Edition and I have added some Card Candi to finish off :)

I would like to enter this second card into the following challenges:
Passion for ProMarkers #146 - Cut it Out
I love ProMarkers #114 - Floral Image

Bye for now, hope you like the cards :) x

Gorgeous New Stamps from Little Claire Designs :) x

Hi! Just popping by to share some exciting new stamps which have been released today over at Little Claire's :)
They are gorgeous and I love using them. One is called 'Changing Tree' which is a very clever stamp which allows you to build your own image using all the different elements of the stamp (and there are lots!) The second stamp is a lovely bunting set, which comes with all the letters of the alphabet and much more, so you can write your own sentiments :)

Here is one of the cards I have made using these stamp sets:

I have used the 'general' images of the Changing Tree stamp to create this friendship card. The hearts hanging from the tree are part of the bunting set. I have coloured the image with ProMarkers and cut out the main image and scalloped circle using Nestabilities. I have then stamped out the bunting, coloured it, cut it out and stuck it onto the edge of the main image. The circular sentiment is from the 'Sunshine Sentiments' set by Little Claire Designs. I have inked the edge with brown and red ink and added a gem to each side before sticking it to the card. The papers are My Mind's Eye 'Blink of an Eye', mounted on craft cardstock.  

Thanks for taking the time to visit! Hope you like the card. I will try to be back soon with more cards with these lovely new stamps! :) x

I have used a gorgeous image from Lili of the Valley, coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are from Echo Park (Springtime) and Craft Creations, mounted on dark brown cardstock. The main image and mount are cut using Nestabilities. The sentiment and Card Candi are from Craftwork cards. 'Dream' sticker and gem from my stash.
