Funky Fossil Duck cards

By
I challenged myself to make different three cards featuring a lovely duck in an umbrella stamp from Funky Fossil's Rainy Day Critters set.  Three different colour schemes, all pretty and Spring like just like the weather here today.

Special Birthday Wishes
Hello Spring




With Love
uses an inky stencilled monoprint background with a fireworks stencil and shaded lilac and fired brick DOs with lots of water spritzing to tone down the colours.  Added a die cut doodle frame, paper pieced with some of the half circles coloured with alcohol markers as is the main image which has been fussy cut.  A little snail companion has made an appearance too.  Sentiment heat embossed on vellum.









Special Birthday Wishes
has patterned paper embossed with white and silver super sparkle EP using one element from a scenic borders stencil.  Stamped focal image coloured with alcohol markers and die cut with a stitched circle.  I stamped the little cute companion snail onto the largest die cut cloud and the sentiment words onto the smaller clouds.  All the die cuts were sponged lightly with tumbled glass DI around the edges.







Hello Spring
uses part of an inky stencilled monoprint for the background that I did some time ago using sunflower and basket weave stencils with yellow/orange DOs and maybe some brushos.  Main image has been fussy cut, coloured with alcohol markers, shaped and adhered with thin foam pads and glue.  Used parts of a die cut tree to edge the panel for a lacy border adding some flowers made from the off cuts, a full tree and the companion snail.  Sentiment heat embossed on vellum.

    A fabulous selection of cards Steph, they look so different despite using the same stamp. I love that cute snail (I can honestly say I never thought I would find myself writing that!) ... but Emma's comment about the duck eating snails made me smile! Clare x

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

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 ...
