Woodware Birthday Grid

By
I've been creating with Jane Gill's Woodware Birthday Grid stamp set.  Started by stamping and embossing the sentiment grid then with some scrunched up cling film I lightly dabbed some pearl effects around the edges, once dry blended three colours of distress inks to create my speckled background.  Both the embossed sentiments and pearl effects act as a resist and buff up to a lovely shine once the inks are dry.


The stamp set comes with elements that can fit inside or around the sentiment grid design.  I chose the cupcake and gift both coloured with promarkers, fussy cut, shaped and adhered with silicone glue.  Added glossy accents on the cherry & decorations.  This is only the second card I've made using this stamp set, the first one you can see here, both totally different.


I've used - A6 top fold white card base
Woodware Birthday Grid stamp set
Olympia green Versafine ink, clear EP
Dovecraft 3D pearl effects
Distress Inks -peacock feathers, shaded lilac, dusty concord
Promarkers - lime green, pumpkin, plum & blush
Glossy Accents

CAS Christmas Challenge - Guest Designer Card

By

Excited to be sharing my guest designer card for September's  CAS Christmas  card challenge where this month's theme is Christmas Tree.  I was their winning card in July, you can see it  here . I reached for my all time favourite Christmas tree stamp from an enchanted Christmas set by Hot off the Press.  A solid stamp with a lovely flourish design and snowflakes as part of the tree itself.  First I heat embossed the tree with white EP then positioned a circle stencil partly over so I could dab using cling film some pearl effects before sponging with distress inks to create a snowy sky backdrop.  Both the tree and pearl effects act as a resist and buff up to a lovely shine. I've ended up with a contemporary colour palette with an emphasis on lighter shades of purple with touches of blue and turquoise as the three DIs were still out on my desk from a previous project so I just went with them.  Finishing touches are three stamped and embossed snowflakes with coloured dot centr

Color Hues Guest Designer

Very excited to share my guest designer card for the new challenge at  Color Hues  with a lovely soft palette of cream and blue.  You can see my winning card  here .  I was aiming for a cream and blue ceramic look.  I wonder who has left their boots behind in the garden? Hope their kite stays flying long enough for them to return ...        Having bought some new Card-io stamp sets at a local craft fair recently I was keen to create with them alongside other sets I already had.  Made a cream background on my Gelli plate with acrylic paint keeping some white areas for interest.  Stamped all the separate images in blue ink using a stamping platform for either a lighter or darker hue.  Stamped and heat embossed a few white clouds in the sky.  Bushed in some added blue lines for contrast. The central part of the scene was cut out with a decagon (10 sided) die, used a neutral matt layer behind before matching it back up over the panel.  Final panel finished with another neutral layer.  Whit

Wildflower Squirrel

This year's Mother's Day card created with stamps from a wildflower squirrel set by Olga Heldwein for Funky Fossil.  The main image is of a lovely squirrel sitting amongst a beautiful crescent of flowers and foliage.  I see plenty of grey squirrels on my walks and would so love to see a red squirrel in the wild one day. Main focal image stamped on a Gelli plate background coloured with watercolour paints.  The surrounding images are a mix of stamps and rub ons.  Sentiment die cut in white with a coloured off set layer to match the layer behind the main panel. I've used - 6x6" white card blank Funky Fossil stamp set - Wildflower Squirrel Funky Fossil rub ons - Summer Twilight Funky Fossil dies - Ransom Note Alphas & Funky Word Linking up with                 Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday              Little Red Wagon                            Stamping Sensations                           March ATG                           # 748 - Florals
