Sanntangle Beehive

By
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" white card base
Sanntangle sorbet tile
Distress Oxide inks - squeezed lemonade, wild honey
Black micron pen; white pastel pencil; white gelly roll pen
Funky Fossil mixed media Kaleidescope paper pad
Funky Fossil Doodle Frame die

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 ...
