Yet Another Nap - Rick St Dennis/ Incy Wincy

Happy evening all!

I hope you are all well and happy.

This week over at Incy Wincy we have a vintage challenge and the fabulous sponsor and one of my faves... Rick St Dennis.

I chose a gorgeous image called Yet Another Nap featuring a dragon snoozing with a skull and here he is...

Coloured by Cosmic Strawberry - Image by Rick St Dennis

As my style tends to be clean and simple, I decided to print the image directly onto cream card and I have a gorgeous vintage style 6x6 paper collection by Authentique which I knew would be perfect for this. Clean, simple and vintage all at the same time!

What you need...

Digital stamp: Yet Another Nap - Rick St Dennis

Card stock: cream

Patterned paper: Blissful 6x6 Bundle Collection - Authentique

Promarkers: Burnt Orange, Ice Grey 1, Ice Grey 2, Marsh Green, Moss Green, Praline, Sandstone

Sentiment: Chilly Chums - Paper Smooches

What you do...

Print the image onto cream card.

Colour in and mat onto a cream A6 top fold blank and trim away any excess.

Cut two banners from patterned paper and fix to the top left in line with the fold.

Stamp out the sentiment, trim and stick over the banners with foam tape.

Isn't he adorable? Every time I do a dragon, I want one!

You Make Me Smile!

Howdy peepsicles!

This is my 100th post!!! Whoopee! OK, that's the excitement over for today.

I would like to show you a card that I did last night. No occasion. The layout, colours and so on, just popped into my head. So I made it :) Here it is...

What you need...

Stamps: Labels, Fancy #2 Framelits Die & Stamp Set (657582) - Sizzix/Hero Arts

Dies: Labels, Fancy #4 Framelits (657913) - Sizzix; Chinese Rose - Marianne Design Creatables

Paper: Blissful 6 x 6 Bundle - Authentique

Card stock: white, pale yellow

Ink: Onyx Black - Versafine

Seam binding: Walnut

Decorative stick pin

Pearls

Adhesives

What you do...

Wrap a double length of seam binding around a top fold 12cm square blank and tie in a bow on the left edge. Die cut a label in pale yellow card, and a smaller one in patterned paper. Mount onto the card, over the binding.

Stamp the sentiment onto white card. Cut out with a label die, mount centrally onto the other labels. Die cut two large roses and a small one in co-ordinating patterned paper. Make up and glue to the left of the label, under the bow. Die cut two leaves in pale yellow card and also attach these to the card. Finish with a decorative pin and a few pearls.

I'm really pleased with this card. It turned out just as I imagined and I didn't have to fiddle around for ages getting it just right. Sometimes you have an idea in your head and it just won't work out on the card. So frustrating, especially if you've spent hours choosing colours and arranging stuff only to abandon it. Grrr!

Hope you like. Thanks for looking. xxx
