Stampin' Up! "Perfect Peacock"
Perfect Peacock, a rubber stamp released by Stampin' Up! is a must have for those that love peacocks and love to colour images with detail. CN created these two stunning cards with use of the beautiful Blendabilities...
Old Olive, Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie were the colours used to colour the image...
From blue and green to purples - Rich Razzleberry, Pool Party and Old Olive...
This photo captures the colours much more vividly - and the finish with the ribbon to the side is a tying touch...
A beautiful stamp, coloured and mounted by a very talented girl. LOVE your creations CN, you should be so proud.

Stampin' Up! Traveler & World Map - Macsuline Birthday card
Happy Birthday Dad! Male cards can be a challenge but if you own the Traveler WM134510/CM134513 stamp set released by Stampin' Up! then you are pretty well covered. Coupled with the World Map WM130342/CM130345 background stamp, the two complement each other purrrfectly.
I used chocolate chip to stamp and distress with, the gold washi tape (watercolour wonder 133000) is more of an antique colour and works purrrfectly with the gold twine 132976.
I fussy cut the globe out and lifted it over the twine and washi tape with Dimensionals...

The greeting is from the must have word stamp set "And Many More" WM134273/CM134276.
So with a bit of layering, some washi tape and string, and a couple of vintage, masculine stamp sets, you too can create a very nice masculine card. If you would like any of the products used; WM is the means Wood Mount, then the code is listed with which to purchase the products from my online store. CM is the Clear block Mount then code.

Blendabilites, Bloom with Hope & Paper Shaping.
This post features the art of Paper Shaping, best demonstrated by the very skilful Cecile Ortiz - check out my pinterest board to see her work. These are two more projects from my first class of the year and as you can see, the ladies used Blendabilities to colour the hostess stamp set Bloom with Hope. By combining the art of colouring with paper shaping...this is the results; Rose...
Rose created a very stunning card and embraced the paper shaping instantly...
The paper shaping combined with the Stampin' Up! Dimensionals for lift, create a realistic effect.
Sherene also created a gorgeous card in Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry...
The flowers were coloured with a combination of Pink Pirouette and Rich Razzleberry...
The flowers looked so real I wanted to pick them!
These are beautiful cards and I look forward to showing many more of you how these were created in a class, or your own workshop.

Stampin' Up! From the Herd
The Stampin' Up! 2015 Occasions catalogue has a fun stamp set called "From the Heard" and I have to say it is one of my favourite...I love the animals chosen, I love to colour (especially with my Stampin' Up! Blendabilities) and it amazes me to see how different cards can be created using this one stamp...
From a simple background of Whisper White, double mounted, to a background of earthy tones, the group of animals just make me smile.
CN created this fun card in my class where we looked at creating texture with blendabilities, with repeated brush strokes.
CN then added dimension by fussing cutting out three of the heads as a feature and raising them with Dimensionals just to give that extra "pop"...
Isn't it just a herd of fun! ...and from a different angle...
And this card was created by another of the wonderful ladies at PLR, Colleen...
Thanks for stopping by, and remember if there is anything I can help you with, give me a call, text or E-mail.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
Love

Blendabilities Stampin' Up! "Vivid Vases"
I love the simplicity and versatility of Stampin' Up! Vivid Vases. I chose this set to demonstrate light, when colouring with Blendabilities. A very basic layout focuses the eye on the image and depth of colour - this was my first attempt at colouring...
I decided to add more colour, after all the stamp is called Vivid Vases!
I added another layer, dry embossed with Decorative Dots Embossing Folder 133520 and layered the card on Melon Mambo. The card is finished off with colour coordinating ribbon to bring forth the yellow vase and the Old Olive green on the leaves and matting.
Love this stunning colour combination of Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay. This stunning card was created by one of the PLR ladies...
I hope you like these and I look forward to showing more projects in my next post.
