My Paper Corner

A card to share that I've hand drawn from a live that Sandra Rushton did on Crafting Together with All Brands FB page recently.  We start with an inked tile (8.2 cm square); for mine I chose a yellow tile from her sorbet pack inking with squeezed lemonade and wild honey distress oxides around the edges and through a honeycomb stencil in the middle. The design is a beehive hanging from a flowery branch with a couple of bees buzzing around all hand drawn with a black micron pen.  Shading is added with a pencil, softened with a paper stub then white highlights with a pastel pencil and gelly roll pen. To make this little piece of art into a card I chose a piece of designer paper and hand drew the outer border adding a white die cut frame inside and then the tile mounted on some bright orange cardstock.  No sentiment on the front as I didn't want to cover up any of my design. It's going to be lovely seeing bees back again in the garden ... roll on Spring! I've used - 6x6&quo

A couple of makes using various Funky Fossil stamp sets, dies and paper pads. My love struck sheep holding a rainbow coloured heart balloon The balloon was created by repeat stamping through a heart aperture with a long thin distressed style stamp with coloured inks.  The panel was dry embossed with a stitched square die to add a subtle frame and mounted on a 6x6" white square base.  The sheep and cloud were stamped and fussy cut, both shaped and adhered with silicone glue.  Doodled some thought bubbles and the balloon string with a black fine liner pen.  A cute make for this year's valentine card. * * * * * * * * * * * * Next is a  cheeky sheep having a tasty snack Decided on a rainbow of colours for the stamped flower petals and turned the umbrella die into a flower basket adding a hovering butterfly keeping watch on the cheeky sheep.  All the die cuts have been cut from a Kaleidescope paper pad and chose a Neutral paper for the background with a pink matt layer.  Card base
