May Blossom Split Stamping Technique

By
Tried the split stamping technique that was in issue 133 of Creative Stamping mag where you have one image in two different colourways.  The inspiration for both of these makes was May blossom even though tree blossom was out in April and blown around everywhere by our unpredictable wet and windy weather!  The images were stamped on white and pink cardstock then both images cut in half and swapped over so you create two projects ...  I've made a card and a calendar page.


The white panel images were coloured with watercolour paints.  The pink panels have sparkle accents added.  Once the panels were swapped over and taped back together tattered rose distress ink was inked around the edges.  The card has a background panel dry embossed using a floral stencil, sentiment stamped and white heat embossed on a strip of vellum with a stamped & die cut flower tucked in to the side.  Washi tape added to the corners of the main panel.  A few enamel dots to embellish.  Panels matted onto red cardstock.


For my May calendar page I decided on yellow butterflies and to mount the panel onto spring green cardstock.  The two positive sentiments are from other Funky Fossil stamp sets.

I've used - 5x7" white card base
Funky Fossil 2024 A5 desktop calendar
Items used from Funky Fossil's Papercraft Society Box 52
(apart from the two calendar sentiments)
Studio Light art by marlene watercolour paints
Cosmic Shimmer 3d sparkle accents; Funky Fossil starlight stellar paste
Ranger glacier white enamel accents

Chatty Bar

The Chatty Bar stamp set designed by Zinski Art was perfect for a fun drink themed card I needed.  Look at their expressive faces!  Images combined with a geometric embossed background and witty sentiment. Background created by applying blue/green ink to a geometric stencil, spritzed with water, placed onto ochre coloured cardstock and embossed through my die-cutting machine to create the embossed pattern with ink transferred like a faux letterpress effect.  Added some pieces of black/gold geo-patterned papers for interest and to ground the images.  Stamped and clear heat embossed images coloured with a mix of watercolour paints, alcohol markers and coloured pencils before fussy cutting and adhering.  Sentiment stamped and white heat embossed on a scrap of patterned paper cut into strips.

I Spy With My Little Eye ... Guest Designer

So lovely to be invited by Ellie from Simply Ellibelle's blog as guest designer for challenge 14 of " I spy with my little eye.... something with wings " selected by Pauline.  A fabulous theme with so many possibilities ... I chose to ink up this wonderful large scale owl with draft lines and geometric styling and created a spotlight die-cutting technique. Owl stamped and heat embossed with clear EP then die cut part of the image into a circle.  To make the background, two different distress inks (one green, one blue) were smooched onto the remaining panel.  I did some light stencilling in areas, blue ink for the hex matrix pattern, white ink for the circles with iridescent mica pigment powder so they catch the light.  Finally some over stamping in smoke blue ink (which looks more light grey) for the doodle patterns and additional words (spread your wings, soar, fly).  Die cut circle has another layer underneath so it's slightly raised and left uncoloured.  Die cut &a
