Thank You!

 I thought I'd join in with Team Wends for this fortnight's challenge at Sweet Stampin'. Our theme is Thank You and is one of my favourites as I try to have these on hand for whenever I might need them.

I made a one-layer card using a Concord and 9th stencil set and stamp. I used mostly Concord and 9th inks with a fairly light hand to get a soft effect.  A couple of dew drops are the only embellishments as there is enough going on in the main image.

You'll find the challenge details and plenty of inspiration over at the Sweet Stampin' challenge blog, so do play along with us - we love to see what you make!

Have a great weekend

All things New at Sweet Stampin'

 Happy New Year!

For our first challenge of 2025 we'd like to see anything new in your designs. It could be the New Year, a new member of the family, new crafty goodies... as long as there is some stamping on your project then you can enter our challenge.  Your stamping can also be done with the Betterpress system, just in case some of you were lucky enough to have this in your stocking!

I went with the New Year as the theme for my DT card

I chose a Stamping Bella image and sentiment for my card, colouring the image with Copics and a gold gel pen. I also added some glossy black to the sunglasses using a Sakura glaze pen.

I cut black cardstock to be just a hair bigger than the image mat and adhered this to my card base to create a fairly simple card.

You'll find the challenge details and inspiration from the Sweet Stampin' team over at the Sweet Stampin' challenge blog.  Hope you can play along this fortnight!
