Falling for Autumn

By
I do love the seasonal colours of Autumn and this cute hedgehog carrying his lunch on his back.  I also had another venture into using texture paste to create the background.


I mixed a few drops of citrus lime intense pigment stain into some white texture paste and applied it through a stencil, the design reminded me of tree rings.  Once dry I lightly sponged over the panel with green distress oxide ink.  Again when dry I used a watermark pen to add touches of ink to some areas so that I could brush on some bronze mica powder which catches the light.

All the stamped images were coloured with alcohol markers, fussy cut and adhered with a mixture of 1mm foam pads and wet glue.  Sentiment stamped and embossed with white EP on red card to match the colour of the toadstools.  Added glossy accents on the apple and leaves.


I've used - 6x6" white card base
Funky Fossil stamp set - Falling for Autumn; Promarkers
Funky Fossil stencil - Membrane
Faber-Castell mixed media pad; That's Crafty! light texture paste
Cosmic Shimmer citrus lime intense pigment stain; Distress Oxide - evergreen bough
 Cosmic Shimmer red bronze iridescent mica pigment

    A lovely design, the texture paste background circles echo the leafy wreath and draw the eye to the mushrooms in the middle, beautiful autumn colours too. Thank you for joining us at Stamping Sensations.

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
Image
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 ...
