April Colour Palette comes through!

Hi everyone. First up apologies if I haven't been to visit your blog recently - a major league catch up is on the cards this weekend as tomorrow is going to be rather 'full on' at work. As for tonight this post will be short and sweet.


This is something of a variation on a theme (see 'A Tuesday Tutorial') a tried and tested method for fulfilling a card order for a male birthday when time was not on my side. And the perfect colour scheme came courtesy of the Seasonal Color Palette April challenge at Ranger.


The background was made using Distress Paints, the new Bottle Caps embossing folder (lurve this!) and a rub of Distress Ink. This time I went for one panel of birthday Mini Blueprint stamps in Distress Paints with a tag sentiment coloured with Distress Ink. Again, loving the Sizzix Thinlits dies for the tag and the XOXO border. Relatively straight forward to create and happily received it turned out well.


And of course Hels wants to see our 'painty' creations over at the Sunday Stamper challenge - Paint Box.
So that's it for now. Have a great Friday and take care of yourselves, hugs Jenny xxx

    Hi Jenny, you have used the Distress Paints to perfection on this beautiful card and I love how you stamped the mini blueprints with paint too, not at all surprised the card went down well. I love it. Hope your day goes better than you think. Hugs, Anne x

    Really like how you've made a patterned paper of the the mini blueprints (come to think o fit, it would make a really good wallpaper - with a lot of distress ink LOL).

    Wonderful make Jenny, love the addition of the sideways tag!

    Like you I have been unable to visit my usual blog rounds as I had no internet access for 4 days, so I have a big catch up to do too.

    Have a good weekend!

    What a lovely card Jenny. These are my least favourite of Tim's stamps but you've made them into something tempting and the colours are lush. A great card. Chris xxx
