Yes ... More Party Hearty!

 The cupcake takes centre stage again ... I love this stamp ... so very now!

I used the colour selector tool to come up with this combination - would have never thought to put these colours together myself ... it's an easy tool to use ... click on the icon on the right hand side and have a play.

I've stamped the cupcake twice, once in So Saffron and then again in Pacific Point.  I've then cut the 'cake' part out of the So Saffron one and adhered it to the other impression with dimensionals - hey presto a 3D cake!  The candle has been stamped using the markers.

The sentiment stamp fits perfectly inside the large oval, and I've layered it with scallop oval and wide oval and teamed it up with some striped grosgrain Tangarine Tango ribbon.  

The papers are from the Hostess Level I selection ... hold a workshop or place an order for more than $300 to qualify.

Back with more in a day or two ... yes I do have more!

Echoes of Kindness and Candle Stamping

Another candle and another technique I had never tried before.  This stamp set is a level II hostess set and it is beautiful.  It isn't something that I would initially pick out of the catalogue but now that I have used it I love it. 

I've stamped the image in black onto watercolour paper and then I've used the marker pens and watercolour brush to fill in the details.  Using a Brocade Blue marker, I have scribbled onto a piece of plastic (the top of the clamshell box that holds the stamps to be precise) and then I've picked up the ink with the watercolouring brush and coloured in the image.  I then got a bit carried away and decided to colour in some white tafetta ribbon with the same Brocade Blue marker to make a matching piece of ribbon - how cool is that!  The Oval All sentiment and scallop punch finished off the card. 

I've then stamped the image onto the candle using the marker pen directly to the tissue paper and finished the candle off with some So Saffron ribbon, some more of that 'homemade' Brocade Blue ribbon and a little sparkle.

Such a beautiful set ... hope the recipient likes them :o)

This set reminds me that the Spring Mini is finishing very soon so if you've been thinking of buying the Oval All or Scallop Oval now is the time ... before it is too late!
