Thanks to Kinda Cute

Over at Die Cut Divas, we are doing our final day with samples using our wonderful sponsor Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez.

For my final card I have used a cute as image called Ballerina

As our theme this month was Yellow, I coloured her in a yellow tutu.  I embossed the background with a folder that I got with a magazine.  I coloured the embossing with my pencils.   The sentiment is from a Kaisercraft set.

Do pop back to Die Cut Divas tomorrow to see what our new challenge will be....

And here's a photo of my caterpillar in his/her cocoon

Mellow Yellow

Yellow would not be my "go to " colour... but this week, two cards got made using yellow.

My first card used a very sweet little stamp from Technique Tuesday that the lovely Judy sent me with February's CCC card. 

I used some London Fog Memento Ink to randomly stamp the little flower over some card.  I then stamped it three times on scrap card.  I used Copic markers to colour the flowers and then fussy cut them out.  I layered one directly to the card base and popped the other two up.  I stamped the sentiment from the set and again coloured with a Copic.  I cut a banner, edged it with the Memento ink.  The panel was then added to a yellow card base.

My second card was made yesterday at Helen's place.  Had an awesome day stamping with Helen, Marissa, her sister Sonia, Sandie and Janet.  I really didn't get much done... this card, one more plus some colouring and some stamping for a few other cards...  Anyway on to this second yellow card.

I saw this faux letterpress technique in a magazine so found some suitable alternatives to give it a go.  I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and inked it up with some Squeezed Lemonade distress ink.  I used some Stampin' Up kraft card for around the card and the edge punch.   I used the same ink and a Hero Arts stamp to make the other panel.  I used a sheer yellow ribbon.  I did have a yellow button on top of the ribbon, but it kept falling off.    The sentiment is from Hastings Rubber stamps cut with a SU punch.

And here's a little peek at the colouring I did

Still to be made up into a card.

Got home from the day stamping (9.30am left home ~ arrived back at 4.45pm) and asked hubby what he's got out for dinner... "Thought we might go out for dinner" was the answer.... YES!!!  what a perfect way to end a perfect day.  We ended up having dinner at Mairangi... a Japanese restaurant in Mairangi Bay.  We had awesome meals...

 

Don't they look fabulous.  We had such a lovely night out.   And this afternoon we went to a friend's place for a barbeque dinner.  So a super weekend all in all

Thanks for stopping by.
