Funky Florals

By
Sharing a stamped card with gold heat embossing using a newly purchased stamp set by Funky Fossil.  Colours inspired by a photo I came across of some Indian fabric.


The stamp set called Funky Florals includes lots of individual floral elements and one larger cluster.  The larger cluster was stamped and heat embossed on my panel then coloured with promarkers.  To give more depth three separate elements (two leaves and a flower) were fussy cut, shaped and adhered on top with silicone.  On a strip of vellum, coloured on the reverse with a blue promarker, the Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped and gold embossed too.
Added a simple stencilled pattern at the bottom. The blue matt layer echoes the same blue in some of the leaves.  Placed a few die cut gold dots as finishing touches.

I've used - 7x5" white card base
Neenah ultra-smooth solar white card

Detail gold EP; Promarkers
Funky Fossil - Watercolour Lines stencil
tumbled glass DI

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
Image
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.
