Have A Tweet Day

By
Occasionally I pop into one of my local charity shops as they often have some craft items donated, found a grey rubber stamp set for £1 with images that would compliment my stash so just had to be bought.  The stack of books and swirls are from that set which I've paired with some Funky Fossil items.


Started with a piece of designer paper for a ready made background.  I love the sun peeking above the rolling hills in this magical mysterious place ideal to place a focal image in the foreground.  Stack of books and the fun quirky bird stamped, fussy cut and coloured with a mixture of watercolour paints and colouring pencils.  Swirls and sentiment stamped and white heat embossed on the background.  Bird's legs stamped on the background and feet on the top book before adhering the focal images with 1mm foam pads.

                


 
I've used -
120x170mm white card base to fit a B6 envelope
Funky Fossil Dreamscapes paper pad
Funky Fossil The Tweets stamp set
Sheena Douglass A Little Bit Magical Knowledge stamp set

Friendship

This large cute bunny stamp with grungy elements in a collage style comes from a Funky Fossil set designed by Olga Heldwein.  I decided to leave the image as is once stamped and to have a colourful background instead with positive sentiment. Main image stamped in black and clear heat embossed.  Created a paper mask temporarily adhered with a non permanent tape runner before smooshing three colours of distress oxide inks over the rest of the background making sure each colour was dry in between.  I've made my own smoosher after watching this YT video by NB Cards which works a lot better for me than using acetate to transfer inks.  Main panel layered onto kraft card. Sentiment stamped on vellum, heat embossed with gold EP with torn edges before wrapping around the main panel. I've used - 4.5" x 6.5" white card base Funky Fossil Friendship stamp set Distress Oxide inks - peacock feathers, abandoned coral, wild honey inking up with - We Love Stamping  Focal Sentiment/ATG

Uniko Geometric Butterfly

I've tried out a new ink & flip stencil from Uniko to create this geometric butterfly.  I've inked in one colour then flipped the stencil over and inked again in another colour to reveal the design.  There is a second stencil layer to create a background but I kept it simple for my first attempt. Butterfly was fussy cut and adhered over some stencilled wonky stripes with 1mm foam pads to lift the edges of the wings.  Happy Birthday stamped in one of the inks used on the butterfly, mounted beneath.  A few yellow die cut dots added to create a little movement. Finished panel added to a square card blank.  Photos taken on a dull day so not as sharp as I would have liked. I've used - 13.5cm sq white card base Uniko ink & flip geometric butterfly stencil Uniko wonky stripes stencil Uniko simply said blocks sentiment stamp Distress Oxides: peacock feathers, wild honey, spiced marmalade Linking up with -                  Stencil Fun  Aug                       Just Us Girls

Flying High

Had a little tidy up of my stash of handmade backgrounds recently, binning all those little ragged pieces and trimming what was left into manageable neater pieces, some large enough to cover a whole card, others just small left over panels.  The smaller panels are now in a little basket, a lot easier to flip through. From my new basket I selected a white embossed panel from a butterfly EF and blue panels left over from  this  card made 5 years ago!  The kite was die cut from these scraps and assembled.  I ended up not using all the die cut embellishments on the front but I may use the rest on the inside.        I also rediscovered in another tidy up session a pack of textured card blanks so on the front of one I dry embossed two recessed panels (similar to what Barbara Gray from Claritystamp does with her embedders) for a faux relief, printing press effect. Created background clouds using Versacolor inks in blues/purples using a cloud stencil.  Kite added on top along with a stamped se
