For the title, I stamped in Black Ink onto the patterned paper, then cut each letter out and adhered to the White Cardstock. This is great if you don't like colouring, but want some colour in your title.

This card was Pinterest inspired by several people. I used White Daisy & Juniper cardstock, Gimme Some Sugar Paper, Basic Ribbon Pack, Z4156 - Gimme Some Sugar Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts Set, Black Memento Ink Pad, Shin Han Markers, Charcoal Ink Pad, Thin 3D Foam Tape, Glue Dots, White Gel Pen (not CTMH), Design Space (shapes used to create apron)

S1804 Colour Your Life Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop

Welcome to our S1804 Colour Your Life Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop! If you arrived from Megan's blog, you are on the right track. If you arrived here by accident, then I hope you will hop around all the blogs and see what everyone has created using our March Stamp of the Month - Birthday Time!

We recently had our annual CTMH Convention in Melbourne and this is one of the projects I created to share with my fellow consultants at our Creativity Showcase on the Friday night. 

I have seen many samplers and artwork similar to this idea and have wanted to make one for a long time. This stamp set was perfect for my creation!

Of course, I used the S1804 - Colour Your Life stamp set - stamped with Black Memento Ink Pad then coloured with Watercolour Pencils. I also used Chelsea Gardens paper pack, White Daisy, Glacier, Crystal Blue, Sweet Leaf, Fern, Espresso, Canary & Mink cardstock,  D1760 - Chelsea Gardens Scrapbooking Stamp Set, C1709 - Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking Stamp Set, Flower Market Cricut cartridge, Silver Foil Paper, White & Gold Ribbon, Pewter Ink Pad, Glacier Ink Pad, Sweet Leaf Ink Pad, Charcoal Ink Pad, Glue Dots, Thin 3D Foam Tape & 3D Foam Tape. I added some shimmer with the Gold Shimmer Brush on some of the flowers. 

I think this stamp set lends itself more to larger projects, such as page layouts and my sampler, but I also created this card using the stamp. I teamed it with the Stargazer Paper & Sapphire Cardstock. The sentiment is stamped with the Sapphire ink pad. I cut the stars using the Basic Stars Thin Cuts. 

The April Stamp of the Month, S1804 - Colour Your Life is only available this month - April 2018! You can get the stamp for just $7.50 set by spending $75.00 with your consultant or your can purchase it for $27.00.  If you don't have a consultant, you can contact me here!
