This month our Hostess is Meredith and she's challenged us not only to use Neutrals, but to use Texture as well!! I've used the chair from Beach Life for my card today and coloured it with Copics from the Flesh Tones 1, Copper and New Browns Collections.  The texture comes care of embossing and some yummy May Arts mesh!

I've created the base with River Rock cut with Spellbinders 5 x 7 Detailed Scallops and layered with Chocolate Chip card.  Next is a piece of ivory card that's been embossed with Spellbinders' Bricks and Bark mBossibilities.  Across this I've added a piece of May Arts brown mesh.  I've stamped the chair and drink in Memento Rich Cocoa and coloured with Copics.  This has been cut out with circle nestabilities, matted with a dark brown circle also cut with circle nestabilities and matted again with a piece of River Rock cut with Stately Circles Nestabilities and then popped up on foam tape.

Paper - River Rock, Chocolate Chip, Ivory, Blending Card

It's Scary Time

Hello Everyone and welcome to a Scary Release!!  :)  Yep, today JustRite are showcasing their new sets for Halloween so be ready for some Spooky projects!  I am using both Boo-tiful Cameos and Spider Web Background stamp.

I've created a tent topper card, using a base of purple bazzill and layering with Pumpkin Pie stamped with Spider Web Background in Memento Tuxedo Black.  Next I've stamped the frame and skull from Boo-tiful Cameos in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Pumpkin Pie and cut it with Labels 22 Nestabilities.  I've then matted it with purple cut with Decorative Labels 1 and black cut with Decorative Labels 22 and attached it to the top of the card.  I've then stamped the sentiment from Boo-tiful Cameos in Tuxedo Black on a piece of white, cut it with Spellbinders Ribbon Banners and airbrushed it with YR18 Copic before popping it out of the die.  I've attached it to the bottom of the frame and then added a few black rhinestones to the bottom of the card.

Pink Lace

Hello Everyone and welcome to Day 3 of the JustRite June Release!  Today it's all about Lace!!  We are showcasing two sets, Doilies & Lace and Sweet Lace Background.  Imagine all the fun combinations you can create with these versatile stamps!!  :)

I've continued the lace theme throughout the card, beginning with a base of pink created using the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Detailed Scallops and layered with a piece of Kraft card.  Next I took a piece of white and stamped the Sweet Lace Background in Memento Angel Pink and attached a piece of dark ivory ribbon around it.  The Heart Doily from Doilies & Lace has been stamped in Memento Rose Bud onto white card and cut with Spellbinders Stately Circles.  This has been matted with Kraft card cut with Large Circle Nestabilities and matted again with pink cut with another die from Stately Circles Nestabilities and popped up on foam tape.  The sentiment is from Get Well Labels Twenty and has been stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and I've finished by adding a couple of Latte Pearls to the top corner.

Feel Better Soon!

Hello Everyone!  Winter officially begins tomorrow here in Australia and already the sicknesses and flu are spreading throughout the place!  :(  I don't like Winter at all and I know we don't have to deal with snow and the like, but I still prefer the warmth of Summer.  That being said, if I did have to succumb to some dreaded flu, I know I would love to receive a pretty get well card!  :)  Today the JustRite team are showcasing a couple of new Get Well Sets and I've used Chicken Soup Labels Four!  I've also used the new Autumn Swirl Background stamp that you will see more of in a few days!  ;)

I've created my card base using Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles and some Riding Hood Red cardstock.  Next I took a piece of Kraft card, cut it with the next die in the Radiant Rectangles set and stamped Autumn Swirl Background in Versamark ink and clear embossed it.  With the next dies in the set, I've cut another piece of Riding Hood Red to create a decorative panel.  I've stamped the Hope You Feel Better Label from Chicken Soup Labels Four in Versamark and embossed it with white embossing powder and cut it out with the matching Labels Four die.  I thought it needed a little something around the edge, so I trimmed a piece of Chocolate Chip card to mat the label and popped it up on foam tape.

Stamps - Chicken Soup Labels Four, Autumn Swirl Background (JustRite)
Paper - Riding Hood Red, Kraft, Chocolate Chip
Ink - Versamark
Accessories - Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles and Labels Four Nestabilities, Clear and White Embossing Powder, Foam Tape, Scissors.

The team have lots of fabulous inspiration for you today, what not pop by and leave a little love!

Let Your Soul Sing

Tweet, Tweet!!  It's Day One of the June JustRite Release and the team are showcasing a fun new birdie set called Let Your Soul Sing!  I've also used the new Leafy Background stamp...you'll see more about this in a few days!  ;)

I've used a base of Old Olive and layered with Baja Breeze (punched with scallop punch across the bottom).  The next layer was originally white, stamped with Leafy Background in Memento Bamboo Leaves and punched the bottom with the Arch Lattice Punch.  I decided the white was too much and toned it down by airbrushing some G43 Copic over it.  I've stamped the elements from Let Your Soul Sing using a variety of Faber Castell Big Brush Pens and cut out the image with Large Circle Nestabilities.  Once again, I've airbrushed the sky with B000 Copic.  The birdie was stamped separately and cut out and popped into the nest.  I've matted it with some yellow cut with Stately Circles Nestabilities.  The sentiment has been curved on the clear block so that it fits into the Spellbinders Ribbon Banners die cut and then attached to the card.  To finish I've added some rhinestones to the corners.

Stamps - Let Your Soul Sing, Leafy Background (JustRite)
Paper - Old Olive, Baja Breeze, White, Yellow
Ink - Memento Bamboo Leaves
Accessories - Copics, Spellbinders Large Circle and Stately Circle Nestabilities, Ribbon Banner Shapeabilities, Clear Rhinestones.

You should see some of the amazing creations the team have today, pop by and leave them a little love!!  :)
