A snowy scene - Colourific Inspiration

Hello Everyone
and welcome to my blog.

For this weeks Colourific Inspiration I have gone all snowy.
In honest, I'm an autumn baby so October and November are my favourite months.. but you cant beat a bit of snow lol

For this weeks project I used a selection of colourific stamps, you can find them all in the STORE.

Ive used:
Sentiment (from the Christmas minis set)
Snowman (from the stitched Friends set)
Snow background (the Spotty background stamp)
Robbin (from the Christmas Minis set)
Candy cane (from the Santa's Sleigh set)




 For this card I made a snowy background by first stamping my spotty background stamp, using versamark ink, and heat setting with clear embossing powder.

I then made a hill stencil from a piece of copy paper and used distress ink to create the hills.
I stamped, coloured and fuzzy cut my snowman, candy cane and robin and added them all on foam pads.
I stamped and die cut my sentiment and die cut a few Christmas trees to finish the card.

And that is all from me for today.

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Tiny Hearts - Colourific Inspiration

Hello Bloggers
and welcome to my blog.
Its my turn to share a bit of inspiration using the amazing stamps from Colourific. 
 You can find the stamp I've used and all the other fantastic stamps in the
STORE.

I have 3 cards to share today but they are all variations of the same ideas and I use just the 1 background stamp.
This is a technique you can do with any background stamp and with a bit of fiddling around with your inks, use any stamp you have.








These cards all started out as simple stamping on my card stock with my Tiny Hearts Background stamp. The gradient in the colours are made by overlapping the inks. I used Distress ink for all 3 cards and if you start with the lighter colour on your stamp they wont really contaminate each other.

After stamping I cut 2 of the backgrounds into strips and added them to my card with foam tape to give them a lift. Use regular tape if you don't want the extra bulk.

I finished with a couple of die cut sentiments and a few black gems..

And that is all from me for today.
