Background Bits & Polished Stone Technique

Well today was different! I finally got time to craft! Been a long while!

But then I got so carried away I forgot to take any photos and it is way too dark now to photo without more shadow than light!

So in the meantime...here are some a much more me-colour-combination of some cards we made earlier in the year... but that I forgot to share at the time...

So Sahara Sand meets Pool Party, Dapper Denim & Tranquil Tide... using the Polished Stone Technique on Gloss card... and the hostess exclusive stamp set, Background Bits for those gorgeous flower silhouettes...

Quick cards...simple cards... but so effective... and I have to admit that they have been high in the favourite class cards this year ... 

Lemon Lime Twist & Background Bits

A summery day scene.... featuring the new hostess set Background Bits 

With 3 of the birds from High Tide... 

Sponging & swooshing inks for the "marbled" sky on glossy A4 cardstock again which all my ladies are loving doing! (mixing Soft Sky, Pool Party & Dapper Denim for the sky with Lemon Lime Twist for the ground)

And spot the extra script over the ground area (in Pear Pizzazz) - love this stamp in the Background Bits for adding a bit of texture and interest....

And lots of new projects to photo tomorrow.... been a busy little Amanda!!!

Background Bits again.... Sponging & marbling...

Another very quick share... back to the Background Bits hostess set extras for the Team colour challenge this week... click here for Part 1 and more details on what I used...

But first a quick "daisy" update...  If you would like the Daisy Punch or Daisy Delight bundle as a priority... please order by 12 noon 13th June... as it will then go unorderable for a while... The Daisy Delight stamp set will continue to be orderable... The Daisy punch is already on backorder and supplies will not recommence until w/c 3rd July...

Right back to today's card....

Suddenly I remembered that Glossy White Card has come back to us!! So simple very light sponging through an aperture was the order of the day... almost looks like marble or polished stone... and everyone has loved making this card!

Though I did add a bit of Dapper Denim at the end as the sky needed to be more blue.... gosh stand back amazed - 5 colours Julie!!!

And I like this quick and easy card so much that I will be making 20 more (hopefully)... destined for London tomorrow... and I may get a chance to try out some other In Colour combinations whilst I make them!!

Unfortunately the cold/flu has taken hold for now... so it is just a get into bed and sleep it off mode for the moment... so night-night!
