Hope your all having a good week so far , can you believe that it is Thursday already, this week has flown by.
I want to thank you all again for coming back each day and leaving your comments all you regular posters and just reiterate how much I appreciate all the effort you put in with coming back day after day. I feel very blessed to have got to know several of you and feel like we are all one big family so what a wonderful feeling that is.
So we have gone into a new month so I have lots of lovely stamps to show you all and Today I used just two of them to create this.
Isn't this a little bit different.
I used pre bought flowers on this one with the lovely Creative Expressions Metal leafs.
The stamping in the background is done using the new scented border stamps from Creative Expressions in the singles range.
I used the scented border to create the backing panel and used the Antique Linen to make it look a little older.
I also used Periwinkle, Milk and Dark navy Foundations card in this one.
The wax above I used to pick out the Embossing on the first layers and this is your focal stamp from Sue Wilson's new collections.
I enjoyed this one, something a little different and I love the rustic feel to the hessian yet just two stamps and 1 embossing folder was used here.
I hope you enjoy this one too and I will see you soon with lots more artwork.
I hope that you can see the images as yet again I had problems with blogger and I can't actually see any of the pictures just now.
Love
Kim

Hi Kim. I love the card. It has so much going on but it is not busy or cluttered. I wish I could get this balance : ) We all appreciate all of the time and effort that you put into your blog so Thank You : ) Take care.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs B

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteOh this is so very beautiful Kim and those stamps are lovely. Must get some of the navy foundations card ...I didn't realise they did it in navy. Many thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations with us and all the inspiration you give your followers.It's always such a pleasure to visit your blog.
Love Sheila xx
Hi Sheila.
DeleteI am so pleased you like it. The navy card is gorgeous as is the cobolt blue they have a real richness to them that you don't always gets on the cold spectrum of colours. Bless you , thanks for those kind words , Its a great feeling to know its a pleasure for you being here with me. I feel it with you guys being with me too.
Hugs
Kim xx
This is yet another beautiful card Kim. The two stamps are gorgeous, and I love the colour combination with so many different layers. The fringed hessian and the piece of lace on top is a nice unusual design feature, and I love the Wild Holly EF. Like you I am not sure where the holly has gone, but it is very pretty. The metal leaves with the pretty flowers finish it just perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteHi Pat.
DeleteThank you for all your kind words , and I am so pleased you enjoyed this one as it is a bit different and that can be a risk at times. But I loved how it turned out so I had to show it.

Hi Kim
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a beautiful card today, it has a wonderful feel of spring about it well those are the colours I associate with Spring. Love your blue spirals behind the bow, the stamp, embossing, just love it all
Best wishes, Pat
Hi Pat.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and I agree I think the periwinkle card is what starts the spring feel, I love it and it goes beautifully with the creams and linens. I started doing the little spirals years ago and if you want them to be shiney and stiff , you can dipp them in melted utee which looks fab, but even just natural they always look nice. I may demo them and the ribbons and rose next time on air.
Hugs
Kim xx

Hello Kim. This is a beautiful card, very subtle and elegant. I'm still learning about the different types of inks and what they're best for-it's very confusing, especially when you use different types to do the same job! I guess I'll just have to play a lot and take notes?!
ReplyDeleteI look at your blog every day but don't comment often-there are only so many ways to tell you how clever you are!!!
Thank you, Jan
Hi Jan
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Inks can be confusing but you will get there and you can always email me and ask anything you would like to know, I am more than happy to help.If I can.It is true and I welcome you to just look unless something catches your eye, I like comments as I can work out the best things to post from your lovely comments and you dont have to tell me I am clever every time hun lol just discuss the card and I am more than happy with that.
Hugs
Kim xx
Good evening Kim
ReplyDeleteYour card today is so totally FAB-U-LOUS!! Your colour palette is very sympathetic to the subject and your colouring as ever, is a perfect 10, love it. Your twine and crochet bow is lovely - it's just a little bit of something different. Unfortunately, most of my cards are for boys/men and I never get to stick a big bow or butterfly on it, he he. Don't work too hard and I look forward to your next post.
Hugs
Sharon Kirkwood x
Hi Sharon
DeleteNice to see you, I am so pleased you think my card is fabulous, that makes me smile no end, I dont think i will ever tire of that feeling when you all like a card I make. I love making mens cards too Sharon with lots of corrugated card and things, watch this space for some great sets coming from heartfelt over march and april that can do very well on mens cards, and april has a stamp hand drawn by meeeeeeee too. hehe
Big hug

Hi Kim
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card today. I saw Julia demoing the stamps on C & C and they are stunning. The stamps are a good price as well. Thank you for sharing how you do your cards and the product and colours you have used, This is most helpful. Thank you for giving us the inspiration and showing us what can be achieved. Hope you have had a good day.
Hi Pat
DeleteOh pat you are more than welcome, you guys are so lovely with your comments to me, I am so proud of my work as its been a long road and its great you are loving it too and keep me going with your kind words and aupport so a huge thank you
Kim xxx
Evening Kim Like other ladies hav said you really hav a talent putting colours together But as you've mentioned you've always been around paint & your brother being an artist I would have never put blue & antique linen together It so works Lovely card and layout The hessian makes a lovely addition
ReplyDeleteHi Karen
DeleteThank you so much, yes It is true My brother is an amazing wildlife artist and is fantastic with detail in oil paint. I love the blues and linen shades but it doesnt work with all shades but I knew this would, a perfect opposite of warm and cold colours with a hint of cold dropped into the warm to make it blend. Im looking forward t working with colours a bit more in a short while and on my next shows.
Thanks for being here
Kim xxx
After seeing your colours I found a piece of background aperture that I'd printed that I'd mucked up (I'd forgotten to turn paper over in printer & printed on top of an existing pattern!) It was supposed to be blue but the printing over the top had made some of it browny/beige I roughed up the edges and inked around it with Antique Linen & hey presto it looked great! Would never have tried that without yor inspiration
DeleteHi Kim, Another stunning card, I love the 'Thank You' stamp, gorgeous colours, gorgeous textures, I'm loving the pearls along the edge of the lace and on the hessian, looks so vintage. Gorgeous stamping, gorgeous embossing, gorgeous embellies. A stunning card.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Patricia
DeleteThe stamp is special isnt it. I am so glad you like it and I hope the church service was good the other day. I hope you are doing well and getting your craft on with me too.
Big hug Patricia.
Kim xxx
Wow Kim, what a beautiful card (AND YET ANOTHER STAMP TO BE ADDED TO MY WISHLIST!!).
ReplyDeleteAgain, I love the colours you have used - to me VINTAGE spells dark, a bit drab, BUT this card is lovely and light. You are a clever cat, aren't you.
Thank you for sharing, it is most appreciated. Don't know how much I remember in 4 weeks from now but I live in hope that something sinks into my brain without me being conscious of it (well, we can all live in hope, can't we - haha)
Hugs, Rose
Hi Rose
DeleteI know what are we like with our wishlists, they never seem to get smaller in the craft world, only ever bigger lol, I currently have a couple of pretty big items on mine and I am having to wait for them to be in stock before I can order them even. Thankyou for your kind words , I dont see vintage as dark at all, although it can be, I just see it as lacy and pretty with muted colours mixed with older fabrics and lots of textures from days gone by.
You can always go back on the blog and find the one you want to work with and have it open in front of you , or once the you tube videos are up you will be able to pause me and craft along, I am still waiting for my tripod at the moment.
Thanks again for your kindness Rose.
Hugs Kimxxx
Hi Kim,
DeleteHave recently started to dabble in Pinterest and have put cards up there - it allows me to categorise and therefore make the search much quicker. Guess what? There'll be Kim Robertson board!
Have a great Sunday .

Fabulous card, so much work you've put into it but well worth the effort. I absolutely love that periwinkle blue card it's such a pretty colour.
