Musing!

~ lostinpaper ~ 17 Comments

Thought I would sneak in some challenge inspiration and as usual Michele never fails to deliver at this week’s MUSE and here it is in all it’s fabulousness!

Michele’s Card

I kept the basic sketch very similar although changed the orientation of the card and was wondering if would you could call a pig cute?  Well I think that this one is!  I also added a ‘slightly’ bold sentiment….

This card also fits the bill over at Simon Says Stamp’s Wednesday Challenge for Diecember, where it’s time to go ‘Die Crazy’, and as you know I loves my dies!  A word of warning though, I’m back tonight with a video for Altenew so I’ll see you again real soon!

Video : Storybook Duck!

~ lostinpaper ~ 12 Comments

I know it’s meant to be a goose, but I wanted a duck and cause it’s yellow it’s a duck…   now.  I had so much fun creating my little ‘old school’ storybook scene and when you want a little simple shading then Prisma’s are my go to choice.  You can find this card over at The Alley Way Stamps Blog.  And while I’m here you may have already heard that TAWS is sadly closing it’s doors, but that means that you can buy their fun stamps at an incredible 40% discount, so head on over!

Video : Playing with my Gansai Tambi Watercolours!

~ lostinpaper ~ 16 Comments

So happy to be playing with my new Kuretake Gansai Tambi and I think it’s time for a watercolour class (or two).   I was in two minds whether to share this, as it’s not my fave card but literally it’s the first time I’ve added water to paints so thought I would share it anyway.

You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

This card was inspired by this awesome card from Larissa Heskett Designs, I adore the shaker bag, it’s genius!  And a big thanks to everyone with their wonderful ideas about which watercolours to buy, the advice was greatly appreciated.

Other Supplies:  Gansai Tambi – Black, Orange, Lemon Yellow, Cobalt Blue, Light Brown.

Fabulous Flamingo times two!

~ lostinpaper ~ 16 Comments

My first play with some Reverse Confetti products and they are sooo much fun.  I was asked to create two cards for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine for their Stamper’s Challenge and here is what I came up with.  My fave would of course have to be the pink and orange card…  definitely one of my ‘go to’  colour combo’s at the moment.

CAS Penny Black!

Does it get any easier than this….   the biggest decision I had to make on this card was whether to use sprinkles, dew drops and/or sequins, so for a fast and easy card, you could change up which flowers or sentiments used or even make a set using different coloured cardstock, so easy and pretty.
