Kristii's Birthday

Last Thursday was Kristii''s (DIL) birthday. I had trouble trying to make something this time because I decided to use the Pink Flamingo paper ... it's not my cup of tea but I made myself work with it and this is what I came up with.

 

Colours used are Tempting Turquoise, Cameo Coral, Real Red and Whisper White. The image is from Cheers to You and the greeting is from Occasional Greetings ... thanks Venessa :) Moving right along the Ribbon and Flowers are from my stash.The image was stamped on Watercolour Paper with Stazon Black and coloured using inks and Aqua Painters. It's a bit hard to see but I have used Dazzling Diamonds on the glass as well as Crystal Effects

CHEERS TO YOU COCKTAIL

Whoops .... here's another draft that I forgot to post .... how embarassing!!! Hope you'renot sick of Cheers to You!!!

I fell in love with Cheers to You when I first saw it in the US Stampin' Up! Catalogue and was keeping my fingers crossed that we would get it here in Aus and boy I was so happy to see that it made it into our catty.

I'm having lots of fun with it and the new In Colours. Here I've used Kiwi Kiss, Summer Sun and Whisper White. Stamp sets are Tart and Tangy, Cheers and Wishes and Cheers to You. I've coloured the image using Blender Pens. The Lime Segments were done using the Rock and Roll Technique and colours used were Summer Sun and Kiwi Kiss. The scallop border was made using the Scallop Edge Punch and the Ribbon Tab is Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon

CHEERS TO YOU .... AGAIN

I'm always missing in action these days. Sorry, had a workshop last weekend and Chelsea's 18th birthday party so have been a bit flat strapped.

Stampin' Up! Convention here in Australia is next week so I have also been spending time making swaps. I've made the grand sum of about 60 and would like to make a few more, hopefully I will get this done over the weekend.

In the meantime I have had another play with Cheers to You ... I'm using it on some of my swaps also.

As you know I am a pink girl so had to make a PINK card. Besides Cheers to You, I've used Tart and Tangy .. which compliments Cheers to You, and Polka Dot Background. Ink colours are Regal Rose, Riding Hood Red (on the strawberry) and Basic Black. Card was Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose and Whisper White. I've also used the Scallop Edge Punch and Regal Rose 5/8" GG Ribbon.

Oooh I so feel like a nice cocktail every time I look at this card .... Strawberry Daiquiri anyone!!

OKAY LAST POST FOR TODAY ... promise!

How cute is this! Have to say that this stamp set was on my wish list and I was thrilled that it was part of the pre-order selection. I'm still waiting for my first order to arrive which will contain some new papers to play with, but in the meantime I've had to make do with some old ones. This paper is from Spring Showers (now retired) and it suited the colours that I wanted to do this card in.

My baby brother turns 51 next Sunday and this card is for him. The colours used are More Mustard, Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip. The More Mustard was watercoloured onto the beer steins and then I've filled the image in with Crystal Effects. The ribbon is 5/8" GrosGrain in Very Vanilla. All images are from Cheers to You.
