Blendabilities
I have been trying out the new blendabilities pens by trying out a variety of colours on the same image. Unfortunately this stamp is no longer available, but I thought it was a good one to use to try out shading with the new pens. The first one is using Cherry Cobbler, the second Rich Razzleberry, next one is Daffodil Delight and the final one Coastal Cabana. Sorry the photos are not particularly sharp, but my camera doesn't seem to like to take very close up photos!! The lighting isn't exactly great either - all of the images are stamped on white card, but the first three were taken without the flash. Although the colours match exactly with the card, ribbon etc of the same name, they also co-ordinate with some of the other colours - for example, the Rich Razzleberry also works with the new Blackberry Bliss card and the Daffodil Delight with the new Hello Honey colour.Tuesday, 8 July 2014
Maritime
This is one of the cards we made at the class on Friday morning, using my favourite set of papers from the new catalogue - 'Maritime'. The background card is Night of Navy and the anchor is from The Open Sea set of stamps. We also used the banner punch to do the wee flags down the side.

New catalogue!!
Today the new annual catalogue goes live. If you visit my online shop you can browse the catalogue or if you want an actual copy please contact me and I can post one to you at a cost of £5.50. I will be placing an order on Friday if you would like anything - we can share the P & P costs with a group order. I am holding the monthly class on Friday morning from 10:30 to 12:30 when we will make four different cards using some of the new colours and products - there are still two spaces available but you would need to book by Wednesday evening so I can be prepared in time!

Fathers Day / Male Birthday cards
These are the cards we made at the latest class this morning. The tractor from the stamp set 'Harvest Blessings' was used for the first card - this set is on the retired list so will no longer be available after the end of this month. The image was water coloured using Marina Mist, Midnight Muse, Smokey Slate and Old Olive Stampin' Write markers and a water brush. The cardstock used was Naturals White, Midnight Muse (retiring), and Marina Mist. The Natural Trim is also retiring.
The next card was made using the World Map background stamp and the anchor from the 'Open Sea' stamp set. The map was lightly sponged with Summer Starfruit and Midnight Muse ink. The banner punch and stamp set were free gifts during Salebration but will be returning in the new annual catalogue. The thick twine in Summer Starfruit was also a Salebration gift, but there will be other colours of this thicker twine available soon also.
The garden shed card was made using the Hardwood background stamp and the cupcake punch for the clouds. The background card is Soft Sky and the grass made from Gumball Green (retired). The leaves were made using the Bird punch and the red flower, using the itty bitty punch pack (retiring). I didn't have the 1" square punch so used the postage stamp shaped one (but the other one has now been ordered!). I think I may need to make a few more of these in more girly designs with lots of flowers and pots!
The final card was made using more of the stamps from the Open Sea set. The ship and compass was stamped in Early Espresso onto Crumb Cake card. We used the White Chalk marker to colour the sails and the Gold marker to colour around the edge of the compass. This panel was layered onto Island Indigo card. The old ledger was stamped onto Naturals Ivory card and then torn and inked around the edges. Island Indigo bakers twine (retiring) was threaded through a Naturals button (retiring).
This weeks challenge on CCT is So Macho - so I think all of these could be entered there.
