Anyone who follows this blog will know I love tulips. They are my favourite flower. I adore them. I couldn’t believe my luck when Stampin’ Up! brought out this gorgeous Flowering Fields tulip paper in the current mini catalogue. Sadly it retires at the end of June. I wanted to use it one last time.

Isn’t this little koala the cutest? I love him just hanging out in the tree. As you may remember my maternal family are from South Africa. Some of that family have left South Africa to go to Australia. I was thinking of them as I made this card.

I coloured this koala using watercolour pencils and a blender pen. This makes for super quick and easy colouring.

I’ve had these doilies sitting in my stash for the best part of the year and never used them. That had to change, so I designed this card to start using them. I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

The Fresh Freesia layer at the back is all one die cut. It cuts beautifully and comes out of the die like a dream. I used the die brush attachment and the Take Your Pick Tool to get rid of all the little bits.

This is a Focus Friday post. This May I have been focusing on the topic of “Colour”. This week I am looking at just using one colour to spotlight a focal image on the card. This card uses only the colour red. White and black aren’t strickly colours on the colour wheel. I’ve used the red to spotlight the poppies and really make them pop on this card.

I’m back with another project using the Cup of Tea stamp set. I love this set and have so many ideas about how to use it. There are tons of mini sentiments that can be stamped on the cute little tags. They look like the tags of a teabag. So sweet!!

I am back with another Friday Focus post. Today we are looking at colour theory again. I am using complementary colours today to make my focal image really pop off the background. These are the wonderful Tulip Dies that you can use to make any number of different flowers. Just play around with the elements to create a flower that you like the look of. There is no wrong way to put these together.

Complementary colours are those opposite each on the colour wheel:

  • Red & Green
  • Yellow & Purple
  • Blue & Orange

Sometimes something as simple as a shared cup of tea can be a great way to say thank you. When I saw this set “Cup of Tea” in the new catalogue I knew I wanted it. A cup of tea is ingrained in British culture. How many problems, how many things have been set straight over a cup of tea?

Oh my, I love these cute little ladybirds. They stamp beautifully and are so easy to put together. I’ve added little white accents on the ladybirds using a white gel pen. They really lift the whole image and make them pop. Sometimes it’s just a small detail that really makes or breaks a card. I do quite a bit of art journaling and am always using my white gel pen so thought I would into my cardmaking as well.
