Rainy Day Birthday

By
Happy New Year everyone!

I'm starting off 2022 by sharing my first birthday card make using Funky Fossil's Rainy Day Critters stamp set ... I treated myself to the 'Rainy Day' bundle of stamps, stencils & dies at the end of last year.


Some colourful distress inks were sponged over the puddle stencil and heat embossed with white & silver super sparkle EP which happened to be on my desk from Christmas makes so I thought why not!  The inside/outside rings of the puddle were coloured with a tea green promarker.  Then distress inks in scattered straw and tumbled glass were brushed over the rest of the panel to knock back the whiteness.  Next I reached for a scenic border stencil and sponged more tumbled glass DI to create clouds.


This cute feline sheltering under his colourful brolly has been stamped & fussy cut, customised with added pen marks to give him more character, coloured with promarkers, shaped and adhered with silicone glue.  The whiter clouds and rain drops are die cuts, just love the little heart die cut in the larger cloud.  Finished with more stamping - a second pair of wellies, splashes and sentiment.  A very appropriate make for our weather at the moment.

    I love this card Steph, the cat is super-cute and the background is a perfect setting. I'm not sure that brolly is very effective though, it's a trifle small. No wonder your soggy moggy looks a little perturbed 😁 💕 Clare x

    Gorgeous and fun and very apt for our weather.....very of my cats loves puddles, she hibernates most of the hot summer months and is in her element out in the rain. I dry her off when she comes in and she goes straight back out to get wet:-) She must be related to this chap here. Emmax

Autumn Days

By

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons, looking forward to the rich colours of the changing leaves, squirrels busy collecting fallen acorns, fungi raising their heads above ground and seeing sunflowers still in bloom.  This card was made for a September birthday. I made my own background panel (pictured below) with two distress oxide inks smooshed on it before dry embossing with a layered leaves stencil. Stencilled on top of the raised embossing with various dye inks then used the second layering stencil to just ink the tops of the acorns.  Panel matted on burgundy cardstock.  Wanted to use a recent sale purchase of an Apple Blossom die set which creates a circular shaped puzzle centrepiece and chose a sunflower patterned paper from a recent magazine along with the same burgundy cardstock for the frame.  Once paper pieced back together this was mounted on the background panel. The fungi and butterfly are printed transparency images which were gifted to me, these I've ...

Woodware Birthday Grid meets Distress Oxides

By

My first post for 2019 and I'm sharing a card made with some new purchases ... I've finally bought some Distress Oxides so had a play and created an inky background.  Using three colours (spiced marmalade, cracked pistachio & squeezed lemonade) I decided to do a combination of inking on and through a stencil mask with a bit of water spritzing as well.  I quite like that the colours stay on top of each other without affecting the colours underneath and it's definitely a lovely chalky finish. Another new purchase was the Woodware birthday grid stamp by Jane Gill, I do like the grid arrangement of all the sentiments leaving two spaces so you can add other images to suit.  I've added social media type die cuts as this is a card for a male who's always on his mobile phone 😊.  Final touch was randomly stamping a filmstrip down one side and adding #smile in the corner. I've used -  5x7 white card base Distress Oxide Inks on  Clarity Stencil Card Th...

100 Birthday Wishes

By

Made for the uncle of a crafting friend celebrating his 100th birthday who still enjoys a bit of gardening.  Card Making Magic's Spring Garden stamp set that came with issue 119 of Creative Stamping seemed ideal to use and I also wanted to have lots of colour so what better than a rainbow background. Distress oxide inks were brushed over a stencil to create the abstract background then water drops flicked over to create some interest.  Gardening images stamped in brown ink directly onto the panel with masks used so the hand tools could be stamped behind the flower pots.  Images were coloured with a mixture of polychromos, metallic pencils and gel pens with added white gel pen highlights. Number 100 stamped in green ink with a bracket below again with some white gel highlights ... a topiary sculpture maybe?  White embossed sentiment on the same colour card as the matt layer. I've used - 6x6" white card base Issue 119 Creative Stamping covermount Claritystamp abstract ...
