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

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 ...
