Funky!

What a cool key word from CASOLOGY for Week 334: Funky. By a happy chance, I'd just received the Four Seasons DSP from Stampin' Up, and the 'B-side' (that dates me, and anyone who remembers singles records!) is in undeniably 'funky' patterns - so I was off to a good start. For the flower, I used the flower bulb from Making Every Day Bright as petals. I completed the with a fun font and inside sentiment.

Ingredients:
Stampin' Up! card (Shimmery White, Basic Black) DSP (Four Seasons), stamps (Making Every Day Bright, Sassy Salutations, Party Pants), stampin' write marker (Tangelo Twist) ink (Basic Black)
Other products: francheville faceted jewel, American Crafts black glittered embossing powder.

In colour Christmas

I feel like I'm cheating on my previous favourites, but Stampin' Up's 'Making Christmas Bright' is such a cool stamp set! Especially when paired with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch (and ESPECIALLY when you succumb and get the 'Making Every Day Bright' stamps as well).
Here's As You See It's sketch #183:

In my version I used the latest In Colours to give a bright, Southern Hemisphere feel to the card:

Ingredients:

Stampin' Up: card (Whisper White, Blueberry Bushel), DSP (In Colour), ink (Basic Black, Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch), Stamp sets ('Making Christmas Bright, Making Every Day Bright), Christmas Bulb Builder Punch

Christmas in the Antipodes

When I saw TGIF's Challenge #173:

I thought of Christmas - because, since I'm in New Zealand, it could well look something like this. I loved that rainbow umbrella and wanted to use those uplifting colours, as well. 

Ingredients:

Stampin' Up! ink (Real Red, Tangelo Twist, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Pool Party), card (Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Whisper White, Gold), Stamps (Making Every Day Bright), Punch (Christmas Bulb Builder).
