Julie Hickey Floral Frames

By

A few months back I was experimenting spraying brushos over/through a stencil then took a print off the stencil with what ink was left behind.  This card uses the stencil print which is a more delicate and softer result.  Used a Papermania geometric circles stencil with scarlet & yellow brushos mixed in mister bottles.


One of the floral frames from Julie Hickey's set was stamped and embossed with gold EP on part of the stencil print where the colour was more orange/yellow and cut into squares.  I used the more red/pink part for my base layer.  Matted everything on gold card and also cut two ribbon strips.  The layout follows Freshly Made Sketches #229 from 2016 which I happened to come across on Pinterest.

Added some enamel accents, sequins and a white embossed sentiment on red card as finishing touches.

I've used - A6 white card base
Papermania geometric circles stencil
Scarlet & yellow Brushos
Julie Hickey Floral Frames stamp
Elizabeth Craft Ribbons & Jewels die
Ranger Glacier white enamel accents
Mag freebie sentiment stamp

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP. I've used -   4x4" & A6 card bases Sizzix thinlits Tim Holtz festive repeat & circle words Christmas dies Mag freebies - foliage die, sentiment stamp, tree EF Linking up wit
