Global Design Project - CASE the Designer #136

Today I have created for the Global Design Project - CASE the Designer #136

We are CASEing the talented Allison Okamitsu.

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

I have used my brand NEW 2018-2020 In Color Collection; Stampin' Pads and A4 cardstock for my creation. 

The colours are divine!

Lots of dots and spots for my 'Happy Birthday' card.

And I changed up the circle elements for square ones.

'Grapefruit Grove', 'Pineapple Punch', 'Call Me Clover', 'Lovely Lipstick' & 'Blueberry Bushel'.

The squares were embossed using the *NEW 'Basket Weave Dynamic TIEF, then die-cut using the 'Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies'.

*Available in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue1st June, 2018.

My background was stamped using the dots from 'Timeless Textures' stamp set using the 'Blueberry Bushel' Stampin' Pad, and adhered to a 'Blueberry Bushel' cardstock card base.

Finishing with a 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' bow.

Thankyou for visiting me. I loved CASEing Allison's creation, and I hope you get a chance to create and join in the Challenge too.

Have a wonderful weekend. D x

Just Add Ink - Sketch Challenge #406

Hello, and welcome to my blog. 
This week is a Sketch Challenge for Just Add Ink - 'Just Add a Sketch' Challenge #406
Join in the fun and add your project to our gallery here.

My 2 boys love anything about Nature, and they were watching a documentary on the Endangered Orange-Bellied Parrot. My inspiration came from my boys, and the retiring 'Bird Banter' stamp set.

My Orange-Bellied Parrots, watercoloured with 'Water Color Pencils' and a 'Blender Pen'. 

I have used 'Basic Gray', 'Bermuda Bay', 'Daffodil Delight', 'Old Olive' & 'Pumpkin Pie'. 

(I have also used the 'Lemon Lime Twist' Watercolor Pencil from the 'Lots of Happy Card Kit'.)

A close up of these sweet parrots, sitting on a branch - die cut from the 'Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies'.

A perfectly fitting sentiment for the inside of my card. 

And a little bit of flower detail.

Here, you can see the 'Woodland TIEF'.

I have applied it to the card base on the debossed side.

Thankyou so much for visiting. The JAI Design Team have some gorgeous Sketch Challenge creations to get you inspired. We can't wait to see what you create.

Bird is the Word - Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop

This month the Creation Station Design Team are creating with the theme 
'Bird is the Word'.
You may have arrived form Sara's blog - a big welcome to you now that you are visiting me in Australia! You can visit all the other Design Team Members at the end of my post.

'Bird Banter' is my stamp set of choice for this Blog Hop, and I have coloured all of my birds with 'Watercolor Pencils' & a 'Blender Pen'. 
*I also used the 'Flirty Flamingo' & 'Lemon-Lime Twist' Watercolor Pencils from the 'Lots of Happy Card Kit'.

I love these little Budgerigars; nicknamed Budgies.

The girls have brown on top of their beaks, and boys have blue.

These pair are so adorable sitting on the 'Pool Party Tutti Frutti Card',

from the *Sale-a-Bration Brochure.

A very sharp looking Sulphur Crested Cockatoo perched on the 'Daffodil Delight Tutti Frutti Card'.

When I was a little girl, we were given a baby cockatoo. He fell out of his nest, in a huge Gum Tree on our friends Sheep property, and we called him 'Cocky Wright'.

"Cocky Wright was so cheeky. His wings were clipped and he would run after my brother. My brother would run away screaming and crying. Cocky Wright copied my brother's cry and the neighbour's would run out to see if my brother was OK? He was. It was Cocky Wright. He copied everything we said to him, and chewed all the ribbons I decorated his cage with!"

Such a marvelous looking Toucan. 

He looks a bit lovely on the 'Lemon-Lime Twist Tutti Frutti Card'.

And this magestic Macaw, he is ready to wish someone a very 'Happy Birthday'. Loving the 'Calypso Coral Tutti Frutti Card' for this guy.

Next on the Blog Hop is my gorgeous friend, Dena. 

Dena always has the funnest creations and her videos are just the best. I can't wait to see what Dena has for us.

Thankyou for visiting my blog, and keep hopping for more 'Bird is the Word' inspiration. 

Have a fabulous day. D xox

My little guy just loves animals, and he has a list of his favourites. 

I stamped the 'Bird Banter' birds, and whilst I was typing up my blog, and watermarking my photos, Finnlay has coloured his birds with his textas. A good 30 minutes of creative effort, and loving the peaceful creative time my little guy had. And that smile.
