This fortnight the AAA Cards Challenge is to made Maxi white (empty) space with the option to use flowers. Our sponsor is Crafty Scrappers and oyu could win... For my card I used a solid kitty from Moda Scrap: funny cat and I stamped it with Memento inks, then shaded one side by applying a darker Memento ink with a finger dauber. The I stamped the littlest flower from the Fairy Happy set by My Favorite Things and elongated the stem as if the cat is holding it.
Added a bit of grass to ground the cat and
coloured the flower with Polychromos pencils. This is my normal DCP cardbase so very very smooth and probably not suited for pencils, but for these tiny buts, I felt it's better than alcohol markers that seep through to the inside.

One Layer and Christmas in July is the new challenge over at Less is More. For my card I cut a piece of masking paper to the size of my card. Diecut a circle from it and then I diecut the trees from the circle, they are Joy Crafts! 6002/1335. I applied both masks and then inkblended Memento inks inside (Paris Dusk, Nautical blue, Teal Zeal and Summer sky); then splatted with water and Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust. Stamped the Purple onion Silhouettes Santa on the way and the sentiment from My Favorite Things Bitty Holiday Wishes. I've used Versafine clair ink for both, then dried it with my heat tool.

For the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: for a child. I have no Honey Bee products, so for my card I used a stamp from Darcie's (Shark baby) that came in today from my Simom Says Stamp order...how's that for timing? I stamped the image onto Crafter's Companion marker paper and colored it with Copic markers. I didn't want to color it like the packaging, but still "normal" Shark ish...so grey blue and a peacock belly which might be pushing the "normal" hehe... anyway it's a costume, so...I don't care ;-) For the background I inkblended Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled glass Distress Oxides, splashed with water for bubbles and also Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust.
I stamped all sentiments from the same set with Versafine Clair Ink. Mounted the "shark" with foamtape, comtemplated a wobbler, but decided against it. For more information on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, see this.
The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: moving parts, showcasing Lawn Fawn.
I've used the Lawn Fawn Slide on over channels for the interactive bit. Almost superglued my fingers together too haha..ok leaky superglue tube and Maaike don't go together, tossed it now but I needed it to glue my coin to a iron-on-bead and on to the frog. The frog is from My Favorite Things Toadally awesome and Icolored it with Copic Markers, then cut it out. I applied Oxides Broken China and Mowed Lawn to a panel, then cut out the channel and inkblended the cardbase to match. I stamped the Katzelkraft clouds with a water and bleach solution to bleach out the sky, it's very faint, but there. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp's Punny Animals and I stamped it with Versafine Clair ink, then heat set it. Mounted the cardbase with twolayers of craft foam so there's room for my element toslide, I think in hindsight I should have used a heavier cardstock, but I had this bit of scrap on my table, so...Didn't think about it .
