Funky Fossil - On the Beach

By
This little chap from Funky Fossil's Motley Crew stamp set has taken himself off to the beach on his holidays and decided to dip his toe into the water before going out paddle boarding.  He's wearing his water wings just in case!  I've combined lots of other Funky Fossil products to make this card - patterned paper, dies and a stencil.


I've inked through a sunray stencil with three shades of distress oxides on the top part of my panel.  The bottom part has patterned paper die cut into strips with two different edges dies to create the beach and water.  The Motley Crew character has been coloured with promarkers and fussy cut; his 'water wings' are from the patterned paper to hide the colour underneath as it was too green for my liking!


Die cut and paper pieced the sun umbrella and a second of the middle portion for a surf board stuck in the sand.  Finished with a die cut sentiment.  Panel mounted on a dark green matt.

I've used - 6x6" white card base
Funky Fossil - Motley Crew stamp set
Funky Fossil - Sunray stencil
Distress Oxides - fired brick, wild honey, squeezed lemonade
Funky Fossil dies - Funky words, Rain or Shine set, Edges set
Funky Fossil - Kaleidescope paper pad

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

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. I've used -   4x4" & A6 card bases Sizzix thinlits Tim Holtz festive repeat & circle words Christmas dies Mag freebies - foliage die, sentiment stamp, tree EF Linking up wit
