Bright Floral

There are some new stencils available on the Sweet Poppy website.

This is one of them called Tumbling Flowers

I think it's beautiful.

I have used Pearlescent paste through the stencil on black card. Then once it's dry I have coloured over the top with copic pens. It show up the lovely bright colours and the pearlescent paste still gives a slight sheen through the pen. The sentiment is also from Sweet Poppy in the Hugs and kisses stamp set.

Drift Away

It's time for a new challenge at the Crafty Catz.

As we have no sponsor this week it's a just for fun challenge.

But the theme is add a balloon.

For my inspiration I've added a balloon of a different sort. The balloons are a stencil from Sweet Poppy called Hot Air Balloons. 

I started with the background using an oval aperture stencil and a cloud template. 

I've then inked the 2 smaller balloons inside the oval. The large balloon I have then put stencil paste through and put black glitter over the top.

The sentiment is also from the Sweet Poppy stamp set Life is a Journey.

There are then just some clear gems in 2 corners.

Seahorse in the Weed

 It's new challenge day at the Critter Crazy challenge.

The theme is always Anything Goes as long as a critter is the focal point of the card.

This time I have made a card with one of my favourite animals the Seahorse.

For my inspiration this month I have used some Sweet Poppy stamp sets. The first one is the beautiful Seahorse set. I have coloured it with polychromo pencils. The background is done using the seaweed stamp set. For this I have coloured the stamp with watercolour brush pens, spritzed lightly with water and stamped. Then added some bubbles also in the Seahorse set and lightly coloured them.
