Sanntangle ATCs

By

Recently I took part in an ATC swap with crafty friends on CraftWorld where the theme was florals using green, blue and pink colours.  These are the ATCs I created for my crafty friend swap partner which are a mix of stamps and my own hand drawn tangles, together with the card I made to send with them.



The backgrounds were simply created with distress inks spritzed with water on a gelli plate.  My starting point was some of the Sanntangle stamps that came in May's Papercraft Society Box which were stamped in green ink.  I've included a picture to show the stamps I used as I then drew other tangles to extend the designs and create the stems/leaves etc.  Used polychromo pencils to colour and a white gel pen for added highlights.  I love the magenta colour pencil and use that to blend with a lot of other colours.


On the front of the card is one of the patterned papers from the Sanntangle box.  One of the larger stamps has been heat embossed with white EP and another patterned paper strip placed across the middle so 'Friend' could be stamped.  I had some little off cuts left over from my previous paper weaving card so that was cut with a flag bunting die and adhered at the top with a few more hand drawn tangles.  Created a card holder insert for the ATCs to be displayed inside.


I've used -
Papercraft Society May box 44 by Sandra Rushton Sanntangle
Black fine liner pen, white gelly roll pen
Faber Castell Polychromo pencils
Distress inks; 5x7 cream card base

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 ...
