Wild Rose Studio ,,,,Elsie with Daisies

Hi all :-) I hope you've had a fab week and are now all settled down after the flurry of Christmas activities :-)

I am here to share another card using one of the new release stamps from the Wild Rose Studio, this cute is called 'Elsie with Daisies'. Before you scroll down any further I recommend putting on your shades ,,,, this is errr ,,, sunny would sum it up :-) Dulcie ( the owner of the company) saw this earlier and said you could get all your daily UV light needs from looking at this ,,, HAHAHA :-)

Are you ready ,,, I don't want to be sue'd for blinding ya'll ,,,,,


I have to say ,,, I do LOVE this one and the bright sunny yellow is gorgeous I have to say ! The Sunshine Yellow cardstock and the yellow stamped hearts are from the new release products from Simon Says Stamp. I love how the card and ink are a perfect match, I used a new Drawn Hearts Background stamp too. 

Shh ,, this is my Mum's Birthday card, she will be 77 on 1st Feb and she loves yellow :-)

I used the middle top piccy for my inspiration and used  Stormy Sky Distress Glitter and Glitter Ritz Opaque White and Stardust  :-)


This week on the Splitcoaststampers website our old teamie Joy Taylor is the featured stamper and I chose THIS card to CASE to join in with the challenge :-)

I had great fun making this ! after stamping the image with Stormy Sky Distress Ink I picked up some wet white acrylic paint on a brush and splattered it EVERYWHERE !! oops ,, my laptop got a good spray too :-/ I couldn't find any suilable DP to use for the background so I continued the theme, inked up some plain white paper and splattered some more :-)

I really love how this turned out and think this might become a model for mass production :-) The colours on this 2nd photo are more true to life :-)



So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!
