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.

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.

Lovebirds

Welcome to the new monthly challenge from Critter Crazy.

The theme as always is that a critter must be the main focus of your card.

For this month I have used a new stencil from Sweet Poppy Stencils. It's called Lovebirds. First I inked through the stencil using archival ink pads. Then I put transparent stencil paste through the stencil and put clear microbeads over the top. I've then edged the image with a leaf from the Sprigs and Sentments stamp set. The sentiment is from this set too. The texture is brilliant but it doesn't show to well in photo's.
