Commissioned

DD19's uni college is having a big fundraising event shortly and they'll have a silent auction for which I was asked to make some boxed sets of cards. You can imagine what a hardship that was, LOL!!!

I made three sets, two of which you have seen before here (but I made a new box) and here.

For the third set I was inspired by some lovely cards made by Kristine McNickle using the Sweet Summer set. Here's the lid of my box:

The complete set of 4 cards:

More Mustard and Perfect Plum:

Marina Mist and Rose Red:

DD19 returns to Melbourne today - the days have just flown by while she's been home and I'm sure going to miss her, but at least it won't be long till we see her again when we go down for the big event.

Thanks for stopping by today.

More Summery Goodness

With this continued lovely weather I was inspired to use the Sweet Summer set again, this time in cherry cobbler and so saffron. What a pretty colour combo! The saffron looks very buttery and creamy against the cherry and has a really warm, homey feel.

I haven't bothered with a sentiment; I like to have a few all-purpose cards that can be adapted for any occasion.

My image was stamped on watercolour paper using StazOn ink and coloured using inkpads and aquapainter pen. If you don't have this cute versatile set, keep in mind that time is running out!

Thanks for calling in.

Which Came First?

It was a very full-on week at work this past week, so Friday was the first chance I had to sit down and create something. Trouble was, my mind was so full of ideas that it really was a case of 'Aargh! What do I do first?'!!! LOL

I prepared a couple of cards for my class next week (they're non SU, so they're on my other blog), then decided that even though I had well and truly missed the deadline, I wanted to have a go at last week's Just Add Ink challenge. It was to case either Danielle or Amanda, and there was a simple but effective card of Danielle's I wanted to give an Easter twist to, so here it is:

It doesn't look as good as it did in my head! Ah well. And then, because I had the gorgeous Sweet and Sour papers out, I made another card. This time I used Sweet Summer and So Happy For You, two of the SAB sets.

I just love the cheerfulness of these papers. Well, back to earth now - laundry to do!

Thanks for stopping by.
