Get Well Soup - perfect for Winter!

It's well and truly Autumn down here in Melbourne. The leaves have turned all kinds of shades of orange & golden yellow, the days are shorter and the nights are freezing cold. It won't be long until our real winter us here which also means the likelihood of colds and flus is high! Now I hope no one gets really unwell this winter but these cute cards are ready to go if I need to cheer someone up.  Let me show you 4 different colouring techniques. 

 

One of my favourite techniques is fussy cutting! 

Watercolouring doesn't need to be perfect, even a messy looks great! 

I've even coloured the lettering to give them a lift!

 

These new pencils are really vibrant and make watercolouring really easy.

Beautiful You Casing Carmen Morris #GDP085

I'm very fond of this Beautiful You stamp set. It brings back some beautiful memories I have of my mum and I, cutting patterns and sewing clothes together. I love all the layers and delicate touches on this card which I CASE'd from Carmen Morris .  loved all the elements on Carmen's card I CASE'd the  whole card!

How lovely is mint maccaron, I hope it comes back to SU soon!

I was inspired by the designers colour choice over at the Global Design Project with challenge #GDP085

With or Withour? Its like playing spot the difference.

Retiring Product Week - Day 6 - Bye Bye Cucumber Crush

I never get tired of making Shaker Cards. They are fun and interactive so I'm sure they can provide hours of entertainment! Today we're saying bye to Cucumber Crush - such a fun and bright colour! I had to make a few extras in Pacific Point & Melon Mambo to join in the party. 

Using some DSP for the background

 

Here's the colour combination I've used. How cute are these together?

 \

Up next we have Pacific Point. Can you spot the cake DSP in the background?

 Love these colours together - Tempting Turquoise can pull colours together.

 

Melon Mambo! I'm not usually this girly about my cards - but this screams PARTY!

 

WOW - there's lots of PINK here, but used in the right balance it works.
