SIX SIDED SAMPLER MEETS THE COLOUR COACH - CARD 1

So on Monday I talked about the colour coach and how much it has helped me when I've been stuck.  I was challenged on Monday to just open it and then go with whatever colours appeared.

I opened it at Always Artichoke. - Green ........ hmm not a colour I work with a lot.  So turning it over it showed Cajun Craze, So Saffron and Always Artichoke paired together.

OK.

I also challenged myself to use the Six sided sampler set ....... I don't own this now, but I will soon.  I really didn't like it.  Too geometric, out of my comfort zone.  What would I use that for.

How wrong was I.  I love it.  Love the way you can create amazing backgrounds with it.  Gorgeous.

Anyway here's today's card - its the last of the three I created and I am really pleased with this one.

I have used the co-ordinating punch to punch out random areas of the stamped cardstock to create apertures in the pattern.  I have also stamped below these panels.  This time I have again punched out the sentiment and added some white bakers twine and a jewel.  

I have used  my Stampa-ma-jig when making all of these cards and I have really loved it.  Watch this space I have a feeling there may be more six sided sampler cards to come.


Hope you like it.  If you want to have a go at this and need supplies simply hop over to my shop and order them.  It couldn't be easier, just click the link

SIX SIDED SAMPLER - Cajun Craze

On Monday  I talked about the colour coach and how much it has helped me when I've been stuck.  I was challenged on Monday to just open it and then go with whatever colours appeared.

I opened it at Always Artichoke. - Green ........ hmm not a colour I work with a lot.  So turning it over it showed Cajun Craze, So Saffron and Always Artichoke paired together.

OK.

I also challenged myself to use the Six sided sampler set ....... I don't own this now, but I will soon.  I really didn't like it.  Too geometric, out of my comfort zone.  What would I use that for.

How wrong was I.  I love it.  Love the way you can create amazing backgrounds with it.  Gorgeous.

Anyway here's today's card.  This was the second card that I created and I have to say I really love this one.  I love the clean spaces and the geometric design at the bottom of the card.  Of course you could use this one portrait and make the pattern down one side. I have added some linen twine and some basic jewels to lift this card to the next level.  

This set will definitely be falling into my shopping basket in October. 

Hope you like it.  If you want to have a go at this and need supplies simply hop over to my shop and order them.  It couldn't be easier, just click the link

PS   Don't forget the weekly deals this week, or that you can still earn a free stamp set.

SIX SIDED SAMPLER MEETS THE COLOUR COACH - CARD 1

Yesterday I talked about the colour coach and how much it has helped me when I've been stuck.  I was challenged on Monday to just open it and then go with whatever colours appeared.

I opened it at Always Artichoke. - Green ........ hmm not a colour I work with a lot.  So turning it over it showed Cajun Craze, So Saffron and Always Artichoke paired together.

OK.

I also challenged myself to use the Six sided sampler set ....... I don't own this now, but I will soon.  I really didn't like it.  Too geometric, out of my comfort zone.  What would I use that for.

How wrong was I.  I love it.  Love the way you can create amazing backgrounds with it.  Gorgeous.

Anyway here's today's card

I created the flowers using the different stamps in the set.  And then added the sentiment.  Matted and layered onto co-ordinating card stock.

Hope you like it.  If you want to have a go at this and need supplies simply hop over to my shop and order them.  It couldn't be easier, just click the link
